Framed 1984 Vintage Rolex GMT-Master Watch Original Magazine Advertisement (ID: Rolex14)
Offered for sale here is a framed original Rolex Watch magazine advertisement from 1984.
To prevent glare, the photograph was taken without the frame’s perspex front cover. Consequently, the advertisement may appear slightly raised or uneven against the backing sheet in the image.
The text on the print reads:
The Sirius sledge patrols and their Rolex watches are deep frozen most of the year.
Greenland is the largest island in the world. 840,000 square miles of unrelenting, unforgiving wilderness which lies mainly within the Arctic Circle. A fierce landscape of snow, rocks and frozen fjords which is virtually inaccessible save for a few brief weeks when breaks in the arctic ice pack will allow a ship to make a difficult and dangerous passage.
The landscape has a savage beauty — when you can see it! The sun sets in mid-November, then bitterly cold darkness descends for three to four months. The total population of Greenland is a mere 47,000 people. The north eastern area is completely uninhabited. Save for the men and dogs of the Sirius patrol.
From Daneborg, the sledge patrols set out, pulled by locally bred dogs. The sledges are home built (much easier to repair in the wilderness if you constructed it yourself). The patrol is composed of volunteers from the Danish navy, and there is no shortage of applicants for this exciting job.
They work round the clock, seven days a week for 25 months. Mail and provisions arrive once a year. On patrol, temperatures can drop to 50° below zero, and blizzards are frequent. A regular discomfort is the Greenlandic "piteraq" wind which blows for several days at a speed of over 180 kph.
These men regard themselves as neither heroes nor supermen. They say the 16,000 kilometres of coastline are not dangerous "providing that you use your training and your experience, exercise caution at all times and have a bit of luck!" The men themselves are responsible for choosing every piece of their arctic equipment. And a Rolex Oyster is one piece of equipment considered to be vital.
In such savage conditions — the unpredictable fluctuations in temperature, the wind, the snow, the thousands of kilometres of bone-shaking, exhausting sledge journeys — an Oyster can be relied upon to keep going with dependability and precision. And as they say "The nearest watchmaker is several months away."
ROLEX of Geneva
The Rolex GMT-Master. Available in 18ct. gold or stainless steel, with matching bracelet.
This print is more than 40 years old, so there will be signs of age. Some discoloration is commonplace and often there are small tears and signs of wear — little badges of authenticity.
There will be images and/or text on the back-side of your print. In some cases this may be slightly discernible through your print.
The brand-new A4 frame measures 22.7cm x 31.7cm x 1.0cm.
The print sits centered on an A4 sheet of Canson Iris Vival 185gsm card stock and is held in place using a single Goldbuch acid-free adhesive.
I much prefer to post your item(s) using ToriDiili. It’s quick (next day postage), cheap (roughly €5 for delivery of up to 10 items), safe (everything bubble-wrapped) and reliable (no appointments to keep). But if necessary, pickup from Jätkäsaari can be arranged between 5pm and 8pm.
Let me know if you're interested in purchasing more than one item, we can work out a modest discount and I'll combine postage.
