...yeah - but all those ads are CLASS! None with close-ups of inane looking smiley faced celebrities!
And Rolex did not supply the Submariner for 'Goldfinger'. It was the Director's personal watch. As I have mentioned in other posts - Ian Fleming is to blame for the Rolex connection, not Rolex.

That was Dr No. Rolex were also in Goldfinger on Connery and Live and let Die on Moore.
You won't buy a watch from a manufacturer that uses celebrity endorsements . . . . . . . .except Rolex because their celebrity edorsements are "Class"

...you TAG/Omega boys simply won't accept the tackiness of the marketing campaigns/product placement over the last 10 years or so!
Those Rolex scans were relatively discrete magazine ads - most from the 70's and 80's.
can anyone tell me where I can find a smiley for 'fighting a losing battle' ?
...I'm not bovvered about the smiley, as I ain't doing the losin here!
Lost not losing. I think we've all seen that most manufactures are not beyond using celebrities to sell watches.
What I want to know is what 16601LV is going to do with his Rolex as he clearly stated that he wouldn't wear a brand involved in celebrity advertising?

...sorry - don't know who that 16601LV fella is, but I'm keeping my Rolex! What I MEANT was 'tacky endorsements in the last 10 years, using HUGE posters of grinning, no-integrity celebrities, or very crass product placement wherever and whenever they can...'.

Anyone whose username is a model of Rolex is going to be somewhat 'committed' to the brand and may have already made their mind up which manufacturer they think is best
now look what you did.....you went and scared him off
