Story and Details

This is one of my favorite Rolex ads, and it has nothing to do with the bright "Pepsi" GMT Master that's front and center. Chuck Yeager might be the only man who can pull the spotlight away from one of Rolex’s most iconic pieces. Yeager retired a Brigadier General in the USAF with an impressive resume as a P-51 pilot in WWII along with numerous speed and altitude records. The P-51 "Mustang" he flew is pictured in the background of the ad. And you can make out part of its name, Glamorous Glen, after his wife. Chuck Yeager is probably most famous for being the first person to break the sound barrier on October 14, 1947 at just 24 years old. Equally as impressive Yeager broke the sound barrier for the final time in his life on the 65th anniversary of his first barrier breaking flight at the age of 89 as a co-pilot in an F-15 Eagle. My first introduction to Chuck Yeager came at age 15 when I spotted one of Chuck’s books on display at a family friend’s business. It was a gift from Chuck along with a personal message referencing the time the two served together in the Air Force. For me, the man and the watch are not just two icons of aviation... In my opinion, they're THE two icons of aviation.

    Top-Notch Experience

    This is the third time I’ve acquired collectible ads from Nick over the past five years, and once again the experience was flawless. The service, support, and the ads themselves are all 10/10.

    Nick is a genuinely enthusiastic person who clearly loves what he does. His unique selection, outstanding quality, and deep expertise make him truly one of a kind.

    I’ll definitely continue growing my collection with Nick’s help!

    Could not be happier with my piece

    I’ve followed Nick’s Instagram for years and have exchanged a few casual messages with him along the way. I’ve always admired his work, and finally decided it was time to make a purchase. The whole process was incredibly fun, collaborative, and easy. We went back and forth on ideas, he created detailed renderings, and ultimately helped bring my vision to life. I couldn’t be happier with the final result and will definitely be ordering more in the future—especially as gifts for friends and family. To top it off, we even grabbed a beer when he was in New York the following week, which was awesome.

    You cannot be in better hands than with Nick at Ad Petina! He’s lovely to deal with and shipping is extremely fast.

    The ads themselves were in such great condition and packaged to perfection.

    Do not hesitate! Buy as soon as you can!

    Ad Patina has the best watch ads around

    I have been dealing with Nick and Ad Patina for several years. Nick has the best selection of watch ads available. He is meticulous about how the ads are shipped, taking great care to insure that they arrive in perfect condition.
