Have just read through GRabens thread and thought it would be pretty cool to create my own ad. Used some refernces from the ads of old. See what you think.

etp095 · 24 June 2011, 08:29 PM

I thought it was an old ad,I like it.

Sparky1970 · 24 June 2011, 10:23 PM

Thanks Rudolph

drockadam · 24 June 2011, 10:28 PM

Great Ad Mark! I really like how it makes the Ad look old but, that's a brand new Submariner! I still haven't tried on a 116610LN yet! Beefier case to it? That water in the Ad looks mighty cold!

mitchy · 24 June 2011, 10:44 PM

very cool Mark

i like it a lot

Sparky1970 · 25 June 2011, 03:27 AM

Cheers, like the John Lennon quote.

mjclark32 · 25 June 2011, 03:32 AM

Cool ad!

Wrist Candy · 25 June 2011, 03:48 AM

Using the same logic as they would in not servicing an altered watch. I wonder if Rolex will take offence to you altering their ad & not allow you to buy their watches.

Nice work by the way.

Jim232118 · 25 June 2011, 05:25 AM

Very cool. I like it.

GerardoG · 25 June 2011, 05:58 AM

Back to basics. Nice ad!!!

Don't do it! I made the mistake of trying one on and now I own it. I should have known better.

ersnyder · 25 June 2011, 06:04 AM

Nice ad Mark! If I was diving there tomorrow, I'd wear a Sub today!!

Good job

Not making a Daytona hijack...but I love the TV ads for the Rolex racing series with the Daytona. The music, fast pace and drama: Performance. Passion. Endurance. Spirit.
