This British advertisement from 1966 is similar to the one seen on p. 156 of Skeet & Urul's "Vintage Rolex Sports Models," except it has prices listed for the DJ, 5513 Sub with Explorer dial and the Cosmograph Ref. 6239 model.

[Mod's note: Amusingly, the watch is pictured upside down. A bit of a proof-reading "oops!" like in this H&K ad (http://www.newturfers.com/bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=495250)...;]
