1963 Rolex GMT-Master Ad



...Retro Rolex Coolness...

1963 German Rolex GMT-Master Ad



This is such a cool retro Rolex GMT-Master Ad that features a Reference 1675. It reads:

"Today in London—tomorrow in Paris—and next week in Tokyo! And he always keeps his appointments on time.  

Because the Rolex GMT-Master specifies - after your own choice - the exact time of two different places on earth. 

The Rolex GMT Master is naturally waterproof, automatic and also displays the date. It reminds you of meetings and can also be used as a chronograph.

Do it like the PAA pilots and like this successful businessman: Wear a Rolex!

We are happy to show you the latest models without obligation."

Allemann

Speaking of Retro Cool, the "London, Paris, Tokyo" in the ad above reminds me of the super catchy lyrics from the New WAVE Pop Muzik song from 1979, which goes: "New York, London, Paris, Munich!!" M-Pop Muzik was one of the first songs that launched the New Wave genre in the 1980s



Pop Pop Pop Musik 
Pop Pop Pop Musik 

Pop Pop Pop Musik 
Pop Pop Pop Musik 

Radio, video 
Boogie with a suitcase 
Your livin' in a disco 
Forget about the rat race 
Let's do the milkshake, sellin' like a hotcake 
Try some buy some fee-fi-fo-fum 

Talk about, pop musik 
Talk about, pop musik 

Shoobie doobie do wop 
I wanna dedicate this 
Pop pop shoo wop 
Everybody made it 
Shoobie doobie do wop 
Infiltrate it 
Pop pop shoo wop 
Activate it 

New York, London, Paris, Munich 
Everybody talk about pop musik 
Talk about, pop musik 
Talk about, pop musik 
Pop pop pop musik
Pop pop pop musik  

Singing in the subway 
Shuffle with a shoe shine 
Fix me a molotov 
I'm on the headline 


VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR

Okay, I am wandering off the reservation again, but hey, that's what makes it Jake's Rolex World, but Pop Muzik reminded me of this other great, upbeat, dreamy New Age song which was the very first music video that was ever played on MTV when in launched back on January 8, 1980. You gotta love this song, and you gotta love the 80s!!!
