Beautiful Early Morning Sunlight on this Yellow Gold Submariner.

Bob Hope for Rolex...
This Bob Hope advertisement from 1960 is classic and brings back a lot of memories...It is hard to believe this Rolex advertisement is from almost 50 years ago. The marketing message is timeless if you think about it...
This Vintage Rolex Advertisement Reads:
Where did you get your Rolex?
Leaders in all walks of life acknowledge that pride of Rolex ownership starts conversations...makes strangers friends and distinguishes each as a person of taste and judgment.
This is to be expected...for discriminating leaders throughout the world depend upon Rolex to guard their precious time.
Rolex as you may know, has produced more officially certified Chronometers than all other watch makers combined.
A watch with manufacturing and accuracy specifications approved by Swiss Testing Stations.
Official time piece Pan American World Airlines.
Bob Hope, distinguished Rolex owner and star of "The Facts of Life"

Black Dial Explorer II with Cyclops Date Lens Removed...
Some Rolex fans think Rolex watches look better without the Cyclops Date Lens, so they remove it. I have never done this, but I think they use acetone or some kind of solvent to remove the glue that keeps the Cyclops on the crystal.
The Black Dial Rolex Explorer II does look kind of cool without the Cyclops...
The Crushed Oyster...
This vintage Rolex Advertisement from Skin Diver Magazine came out in January of 1972. It reads "Next time somebody tells you they have an amazing, new waterproof watch...Tell them about the crushed Oyster."
The add reads:
"We dropped a standard Rolex Oyster case into a pressure tank.
Then we took the pressure down to 1,000 feet to see what happened.
Nothing happened.
Then we went down to 1,500 feet. And nothing happened.
At 1,700 feet the crystal began to bend a little bit.
And at 1,900 feet the back showed signs of bending.
At 2,000 feet the crystal and the back bent severely.
And if their had been a movement inside it would have been crushed. But it wouldn't have been wet. The Oyster case was still watertight. Rolex Date Submariner $285 18kt gold $1,400."
Espresso, Coke & Pepsi GMT's
I have a great treat to share with you today and it comes from Coleman. Coleman took this great shot of the GMT with all three bezels: The Espresso, Coke & Pepsi. (By the way, Charles Newgas coined the term Espresso GMT–Very cool nomenclature!!!)
