The Ralf pics are from 1998..
In Response To: Good Question.... ()


Hi Guys,

The "Ralf" pics are from the 1998 Catalogue. The 1999 Catalogue also features Alex Zinardi, Michael Schumacher, Michael Andretti & Gianni Morbidelli.

I think they were all ( except Michael Schumacher ) dropped pretty quickly as Ambassadors.

I don't know when Ralf started with Oris, but it could well have been ( actually it MUST have been ) after 1998.

If you check out this link you'll see some examples of catalogue pics.

The thing that sums it all up for me is the Titane brochure, where I point out that it was Alex Zinardi's choice one year & a year later it was Michael Schumacers choice.

For me this sums up how believable this entire ambasador/endorsement campaign is. (incl Bond )
