Framed 1985 Vintage Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust Chronometer Original Magazine Advertisement (ID: Rolex32)
Offered for sale here is a framed original Vintage Rolex Watch magazine advertisement from 1985.
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:
In the desert Tom Sheppard can be sure of two things: the sun and his Rolex.
When Tom Sheppard isn't actually exploring deserts, he's looking for reasons to return to them. "I just love being there," he says. "It's like being the first man on earth."
Since 1967 he's found seven good reasons for desert exploration. Each became a major expedition. And each presented its peculiar dangers.
Tom, however, dislikes the "dare-devil" label with its overtones of recklessness. "The desert is unforgiving," he agrees. "But you get through it by planning and being careful, not by being heroic."
Even so, his latest venture evolved almost on its own. "Interest taken in my '79 expedition and contacts within the Royal Geographical Society drew me to a reconnaissance of the Ahnet massif. I decided to go and have a look around."
"Having a look around" meant an off-tracks journey of nearly 500 miles in minimally mapped desert.
But dust-laden winds gave poor visibility, often making it impossible to identify his position from landmarks shown on satellite pictures of the area.
A fault in his satellite navigator made his sun compass the main directional reference. As ever, Tom had taken his Rolex Oysterquartz. "It has worked unfailingly in the past. Used with the sun compass, dead reckoning is the ultimate navigation fallback."
Its impregnable Oyster case proved equally reliable in one of the worst sandstorms Tom has ever experienced.
"I find it easy to identify with the engineering superlatives of Rolex," he says. Tom is not the kind of man to overlook the smallest detail in his planning. And, in the desert, his watch is far from being the smallest detail.
TOM MAKING A SUN COMPASS HEADING CHECK.

ROLEX of Geneva

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 can post via Toridilli or you can pickup from Jätkäsaari or Punavuori - whatever suits you best.
