Super rare Rolex Poster 1942 Swann Auctions NYm, anyone knows more?

Help needed,

Did you guys see that Swann Auction galleries in New York has a mega rare 1942 Rolex poster for sale, only 2 believed to exist, with this being one of them, since the poster was only printed in very few issues, as the made a spelling mistake, and was pulled back / never released.

Look at the words Raduim and Raduim beside the upper car on the poster, a clear mistake in the layout.

I have never seen another one like this, does anyone know more about it's history?

Thanks a lot

It's Sale 2538 - Lot 112

I don't know how to post a photo, can some one possible post the photo of the poster as a response to this post?

Eh the ad is for some bubbleback with a california dial....

If it was a daytona it would be a different story imo.

And over 20 years newer so that the poster would be made when the Daytona actually existed

Right I'm just saying I think the appeal of said poster is most likely quite low.

I like how it says "ERROR-PROOF" just before the spelling error...
