Do you feel attracted by the Rolex Mermaids?
Here is an ad which was obviously made for the Italian Market:
Funny to see all meanings hidden on this ad:
1/ Even the Mermaids are in love with Rolex Watches.
2/ Rolex is the Mermaid's Mermaids, dangerously attractive as a Mermaid is.
3/ A way to enhance the water resistance of the watch: If a Mermaid doesn't know issues with her Rolex, so it will work for an occasional diver.
Anyway, these old ads had something romantic, poetic, and fun which cruelly lacks, nowadays...
Best,
Nicolas

There's a dangerous subtext there...
"Mermaids are mythical, but the value of our product isn't!" A
Well, Aaron ...
In 1926, Rolex was only 20 years old... A myth needs a bit more of time, don't you think? Best, Nicolas
That’s a great one, Nicolas!
I would like to see Rolex or any brand for that matter, dare to advertise with half naked women showing their breasts, today! Best Blomman
