I defy you not to see the following press release as the peerless piece of PR it so clearly is. "Rolex Watches Help Owen Wilson Recover From Attempted Suicide" is the work of an LA jeweler. Enclosed is the release.

WOW...putting the LA into La-La...
We may mock, but I'd wager there's plenty of people who will lap that up, and i'd bank on a hike in sales...Omega are seemingly not taking this lying down, and launching a new range which will be offering additional health benefits. The watches will be sold as part of their Omega 3 series.
And in a 'if you like this, then....' sign-off - spend some time on this gem of a blog which publishes PR howlers:

Bizarre. The PR person at Rolex should seriously be relieved of his job for this.

Well, if I was feeling depressed I'm sure I'd feel a lot better if someone gave me a Rolex.

If only Heath Ledger had worn a Rolex :-(
