While bumbling on the interweb, I saw the ad shown below and knew it had to be shared. Watch advertising has produced thousands of classic ads in print and on screen. Please share your favorites. I suppose if you're Leo you can get away with wearing your Tag like a set of brass knuckles, but how many of you wear your watches on your hands? And this is not meant to bash Tag or any other brand.

The below ad is among my favorites.

Would love to snap up a few of those $88 Heuers...Heck would even pay full price at $200!

I tore this ad out of a National Geographic when I was kid and have kept it ever since.

I just learned today that there was an 80s Seiko chronograph that was a James Bond watch, too. Does anyone have that ad? That must have been during the Roger Moore days.

Keith, did you keep it because you were determined to have the watch?

When was Vinny Barbarino on active duty? Is that a P-51 Mustang behind him?

He's a serious pilot. Owned and flew a 707 for many years, eventually donating it to an aviation museum in Australia, flying it across the Pacific.

I'm sure a lot of you do already but it's worth following @adpatina on Insta for so many great watch ads.

Clooney just seems like such a nice guy. I'm glad he's on Team Omega.
