Makes walking on the moon seem pedestrian……….

[Prof. Rolex]

Dear Rolex-Fans,
Rolex has released an interesting new leaflet, which refers to the various expeditions over the years where Rolex-watches were used. The booklet contains also a remarkable and subtle side-swipe to a well known competitor. But please have a look by yourselves:

Very interesting is also the folding of the leaflet: the side for the alpine expeditions must be folded upwards, the side for the maritime expeditions downwards and the side for “near earth” expeditions must be folded to the side.

The new leaflet is one of the best Rolex-booklets I have ever seen, even if I also own several Speedmasters……..

Best Regards
Matthias

You mean like the now famous line in the recent James Bond movie Casino Royale? "Is that a Rolex?" "No, it's an O-Mee-Ga." :tongue:
