Icon14 50th Anniversary Submariner Press Kit

I just scored this gem today so I thought I'd post some pic's for those that have never seen or heard of one. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time and got lucky I guess.

Great find!

My AD gave me a press kit when I purchased my LV in 2003. The CD ROM is really cool. I think the last sentence in the letter to ADs is telling (and I paraphrase here): here's a press kit, but don't get your hopes up that Geneva will let us send you any of these great watches.

Cheers,

Chris

You see them posted on a certain auction site for a ridiculous amount of money. I just rediscovered mine again last night, buried under a pile of papers on a bookshelf.
