    Looks like a sensible move... After all, Rolex could do with a bit more bling in their range !!

    I got it straight away, but I have teenage sons! - on a serious note, in a world which includes the leopard Daytona, that’s almost understated!

    It’s a reference to the whole marvel films franchise. The overarching villain, Thanos (in the background of the picture) is collecting the ‘infinity stones’ to put in a gauntlet to rule the universe or something. This assumes he’ll put them in a Rolex instead. The next Avengers film is where all the arcs of the various Captain America, Thor and guardians of the galaxy films collide. I’d like to point out I’m not as much of a nerd as this knowledge may suggest!!

    Surprised at how few people got this, even with the man himself in the advert. I really am a massive nerd.

    Mmmmm, it appears you are that much of a nerd.

    I say that because i still don't get the picture........i presume it is an advert for the weird film? I then presume Rolex are allowing the name to be used? But are not looking to produce such a sh1t style watch?

    Soo it is just a film advert i don't get?

    I have honestly seen more gaudy creations from Rolex! 🤣 they must be trying to tone down their collections.

    I think you’ll find it’s a mocked up picture done by someone on the internet - with no agreement or official tie in with either. It’s obviously a crude mock up (did you really think this was real?) - I mean, look at the bracelet, the pushers and the stones. It’s probably the work of a talented 11 year old!

    Oh, and I think you’ll find the ‘weird’ marvel films are fairly well watched and rather successful. Not really my cup of tea but they are kind of well known tbh

    The fact they are successful makes them no less weird to me. If people enjoy them then all to the good.

    I had no idea if it was real or not, i find marketing an odd bag as it is so would not be surprised either way.

    I’m a fan of the marvel franchise (I do have a 9yo son and it’s something we do together)

    Made me chuckle!

    Was totally lost on me, but I've never been a fan of Marvel stuff, so...

    Are these the things that Starprince was able to hold in Guardians of the Galaxy?

    I must admit, whilst I've found a few of the standalone films tolerable, I find the 'cross overs'/ensemble/jam every character you can into every film, irritating, lazy and incomprehensible.

    I guess the fanboys love it, though...

    Is there also some joke to be had regarding the nicknames of Rolex models? I.e. Batman, Hulk.... ergo Titan?
