1999 Rolex Magazine Ad

I have said many time before, that I find many vintage Rolex ads to be like works of art with some being more iconic or outstanding than others. I remember seeing this Rolex ad back in the late nineties and thinking how utterly beautiful and timeless it was.

Ekaterina Gordeeva is a Russian figure skater and two-time Olympic Champion in 1988 and 1994. You can see two of her amazing performances below from the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics.

Rolex Day-Date

Yellow Gold with Raised Roman Numerals

40MM Reference 228235

One of the most elegant and classic Rolex watches is the Day-Date, featuring a white dial adorned with raised yellow gold Roman numerals. Rolex has been crafting this model with a similar dial for decades, but the latest 40MM version is simply remarkable! 

This magnificently designed dial boasts incredibly intricate and highly stylized markers that are distinctly angular and reminiscent of Art Deco design. This level of attention to detail, coupled with timeless design language is what sets Rolex apart from all other brands and frankly, makes Rolex, Rolex...

Rolex President Bracelet On Professional Models?

 

Rolex President Bracelet

On Professional Tool Watches?

On Jake's Rolex World one of the things I specialize in is separating-fact-from-fiction. This story is a little different, in the sense we are taking a look at two famous men who wore Rolex watches and shared a Bizarre habit: 

They customized their Rolex Professional Models by putting a Rolex President bracelet on them. 

Just to be clear, Rolex NEVER offered this option, but somehow both of these famous men figured out a way to achieve this. 

I SPY A PREDIDENTAIL GMT-MASTER

The first image shows Robert Culp, who starred in the tv show, I SPY, and in the photo below discovered by Nick Gould we see him rocking his yellow gold Rolex GMT-Master on a President bracelet.

A MOST UNUSUAL

PAUL NEWMAN DAYTONA

This next photo shows Paul Newman rocking his stainless steel Rolex Daytona on a white gold Rolex President Bracelet, which is definitely an interesting and unusual look...

What do you make of this? Were these Kings of Cool on to something great, like the combination of peanut-butter and jelly, or was it sacrosanct—like putting a Cadillac emblem of the front of a Mercedes-Benz?
