Nice to see those vintage ads. What a big change from the watch ads today which barely have any text to read.
The text is also quite meaningful although some of the personalities may not be familiar.Comment

nice article.Comment

There are quite a number of vintage Rolex ads in The Best of Time Rolex Wristwatches by James Dowling. The best Rolex book ever.Comment

ian: do you know if a 7206/8 bracelet (from a 16758) will fit a 18038 properly? the end links have no obvious markings (from age?)... but i think it's 45.“Watches, no matter how much they cost, are better at telling time than making a person happy.†- Thomas J. StanleyComment

I like this Ad! especially more cos I collect Samurai Swords and Day Date so this Ad sums up my hobby....the 2 types of MASTERPIECE I Luv!
Thanks for sharing, anyone have any Day Date Ads please show us!
the 7206/8 bracelet will not fit your 18038 because of the curve at the end links, the day date end links are almost flat.My 18K Gold Day Date "President" Collection:

Interesting to note that in 1973, the day date has been around for more 15 years and you can see from the ad that Rolex was not selling this as a fashion watch but rather linking it to historical timepieces
