The best way to ignore someone is not to post in a thread you are not interested in.

But then how would we ever know they’ve been triggered?

If anyone can come up with a connection between Madrid, Spain and a Rolex GMT, be my guest.

The B&W photo is a street scene on Genova Street in Madrid, multiple sources indicate the photo was taken in 1970. The two tower thingeys in the background are the stairways/elevator shafts for the Torres de Colon, a high-rise office building then under construction and completed in 1976. I did a modern Google street view of the Torres de Colon and couldn't see any present-day connection to Rolex.

The colour photo is a street scene on Avenida Jose Antonio in Madrid, reported to be taken in 1963.

I'm sure Pan American Airlines had flights to Madrid between 1963 and 1970, but they had flights to dozens of other cities as well, so a Rolex connection on that front eludes me.

I tried finding connections between the year 1954 (the year the GMT was introduced) and anything in these photos and came up empty. Hans Wilsdorf died in 1960 in Geneva...maybe Madrid was his favourite city?

Madrid is set to join the F1 Gran Prix in 2026, which is sponsored by none other than Rolex. In the first pictures, we see Renault cars in Madrid.

This is clearly a plea to have Renault rejoin F1 or at least provide engines to Alpine in 2026 so that Alpine can dominate in Madrid, which would infuriate the Spanish.

Oh, that is fiendish clever.

There is a time and place for everything, this seems like the appropriate time and place for this:

Contrary to what JwRosenthal said, the photos are not random.

Indeed, it's two streets in Madrid. Does anyone know what was there?

People who were living blissfully ignorant of this Rolex connection nonsense.

It’s a football thing. For once he actually makes sense but even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I’m in Alicante right now. If I see you, I’ll be sure to walk the other way.

Then, go on.
