Also had a framed original of this one, but sold it with the watch. You can barely make out the 1965 list price of $225. at the bottom. That's only $1,778 in today's dollars!

I’ve found a few 70s and 80s Nat Geos with Rolex, Omega, and Cartier ads but nothing older unfortunately.

Old "Life" and "Look" magazines are a good source. Most larger antique shows and shops have at least one vendor selling birthday date issues, sometimes going back to the 1930's. Vintage trade publications are good for obscure brands.
