Why no GMT ads ?

I am curious and thought I’d throw this out there. Since getting my gmt nearly two years ago I have yet to see any Rolex print ads featuring a gmt. I read several newspapers on line and magazines as well and have yet to see one.
What gives?

Why waste ad money on something that's always in demand and have waitlists in many parts of the world? The whole point of ads is to drive up demand.

Couple of years ago, the BLNR was advertised on TV here in Singapore.

Oddly enough, I was just admiring this vintage ad earlier today.

This was the most impressive ad for GMT (BLNR) in 2017:

Vintage ads remain the best ads.

I've seen multiple billboards featuring the BLNR and magazine adds with the BLRO over the past couple of years.
