These are great also! I don't have any of these, as I stuck to the era when I was a kid!

Transglobe Expedition.
This is one of my favourites.
The transglobe expedition led by Ran Fiennes.
One of the times I met him was at a co-op in the UK. He was promoting Dyson as part of a sponsorship deal, all we talked about was his wife's herd of rare breed cattle and the rugby!

This is an awesome advert, and highlights the red hand in all its glory.

Black dial explorer 2.
I think these were for the American market, never seen one in a UK publication...

Another great thread, Steve! I love these ads! The true soul and purpose of Rolex. Or at least it was... Thanks to all!

We are going to have to live vicariously through your expeditions, until we can get our daughter out with us

From a Japanese magazine several years ago... not really an advertisement... and a bad scan (upside down for the first two) ... but I still like to look at this every now and then...I hope I find the magazine in storage someday...

Nice. Rolex print ads - old & new - are all very cool. And distinct. I like that.

I find it interesting that the GMT master is featured in so many exploration style adverts..

I know! I wonder why they push the GMT over the Explorer for exploring?
