I remember seeing them at the back page of the Newsweek magazine years ago when I was a kid. Brings back fond memories!

They are from the original magazines, congrats OP, those look awesome!

Nick is awesome. I just missed out on a pan am ad from a 1960s pan am magazine and within a couple weeks he found me another. My mom used to work for pan am so this was special for me and he managed to find the magazine again. Now I just need the watch....

Those are real vintage ads that were found in old magazines.

I find it hard to imagine somebody was confused thinking he bought not just one, but TWO vintage authorized dealers to match has watches.

In any event, I found pretty high quality resolution files on the internet, had pretty good success with just printing them out. However they're not the original magazine ad, but they still look pretty good.

Good job on the framing looks great.

Cool ads though! <

I thought you bought 2 ADs, was going to ask how long your wait is for Pepsi GMT.

I’d love to find an original double red ad...but in the interim, this will suffice. Hopefully it arrives in a few days via post.

1989 ad
