WookieCookie: Do you have a mid 1970's Timex commercial where an elephant's foot breaks the Timex watch during a TAKE A LICKIN' AND KEEPS ON TICKIN' test?

[WookieCookie]

Don't have that one, unfortunately.

I'm sold...

Where is the one where they strap a Timex to the ankle of a Acapulco Cliff Diver? And yes, I would also like to see the one where they strap the Timex to the propeller of an outboard motor. Does anybody know if John Cameron Swayze kept on ticking?

Thank You. It was one really long commercial. Two and a half minutes! I didn't remember it being so long, and in Black and White too.

[PeerlessPaavo]

Wow, now that's a shock-resistant watch!

Do you have the one where they strap a timex to the prop of an outboard boat motor? That is one of the funniest ads I think I have ever seen. They pull the motor up out of the water and Swayze says something like "Well, wherever it is, it's probably still ticking".

[WookieCookie]

That one sounds great! I'd love to see it and the one where the watch actually broke during a live commercial.
