    Hello dear Members, I found some old swiss and french Ads in Art Magazines from the 40s here some of the Watch Ads and pictures.
    If you want pictures in better quality I could try to scan them.
    Cheers

    Maybe a slight title change and this could be a general thread for vintage watch ads. I also have a couple still in their magazines

    Here are a couple from some US magazines and some from Great Britain. All from the mid 60’s

    A rather cool Bulova ad

    I’m wearing something similar the Pictured UG watches now. I love old print ads.

    I had that wetsuit! Paid all of $27 for it in 1975. It was stiff as a board and cold as a polar bear's nuts. :thumbsdown:

    Wow, I usually run away at the mere hint of a bear! Any bear.

    How'd you manage to get so close to a polar bear? And survive that testing?

    Would it have been better, if it had been cold as a board and stiff as a polar bear’s nuts? :D

    I've always had an issue with the length of the bracelet. But a nice advertisement.
