Probaby real/probably fake Rolex TB ad

Higgins

Jake's Rolex World shows a vintage ad



and discusses if it's real or not.

While many will say "Fake, Rolex never officially endorsed their watches", imo Jake has a point because Rolex was credited in some 007 movies.

My take is, that any image showing Claudine Auger in a bikini is never a waste of space and time

Food for thought.

Claudine Auger, the watch or the ad??

Higgins

Knowing Donk a little, I think, that we can safely rule out the watch and the girl

Judging by the stains it's already been utilised for that purpose!

I actually saw that image on Instagram some time ago and saved a copy of it. I like it, however I discounted it as a made up. Nevertheless I think it was rather well done and simple depicting a 5513 that was available in that configuration (explorer dial) at that time (1965). Moreover it depicts a more up to date model of the Submariner that Connery actually wore which was most likely a late 50's big crown, no crown guard model.

This looks like my Rolex watch. But my watch I think was cheaper than this? It cost £15! I think perhaps that it could not be real!

You think! )

Definitely not real at that price, Joshua! Try £1500 for a second hand one. If something's too good to be true, it usually is! :007)

I’d like to see you get a Sub for £1500. Even a battered one without bracelet, box or papers.

(Spotted a new 114060, box, papers the lot sold for 3k Euros aswell as a used, boxed Hulk for about the same price. Don't expect you to believe me but a PM could provide you with my archived links.)]

Yes, I was thinking that would still be pretty cheap myself, Aspy.

I suppose I was relying on that particular figure because I once saw an old Rolex in the window of one of those money for gold loan/pawn shops. I think it was priced at £1500 which, rather amusingly, I initially misread as £15.00. I was just about to rush to the nearest ATM when I realised my grave mistake! )

Fakes maybe. No way a hulk for 3K

It seems to me that there are sadly more fakes around than the genuine articles.

I would say it is fake.
Why would Rolex endorse a 5513 model that doesn't correspond to the movie (big crown)?
Price of vintage Rolexes have gone up like crazy.

UNCLE27

I'm going to say fake.
If you google Rolex Advert 1965, it comes up with a bunch of mid 60s Ads all of them with a similar Corporate style, with a small Rolex Badge, similar to this example.



There are no other examples with a big Rolex blue banner.
But I do like it.
