Hey guys, I don't normally do this but I'm posting some pics I took of Supermodel Tyson Beckford wearing his Rolex Deep Sea. He's a sweet guy and absolutely loves the watch and we had a nice little conversation about it.

Here are some of the pics

mjclark32 · 6 November 2013, 10:03 AM

Great shots, thanks for sharing

Laszlo · 6 November 2013, 10:18 AM

Nice piece, bad taste in headphones.

kilyung · 6 November 2013, 10:24 AM

He knows more about watches than headphones.

SWISSAHOLICS · 6 November 2013, 10:53 AM

Good stuff !!

mtb · 6 November 2013, 11:33 AM

I feel super :)

1William · 6 November 2013, 11:45 AM

Nice pictures. Great watch.

DCgator · 6 November 2013, 02:12 PM

He's got good taste.

Hairdude1 · 6 November 2013, 02:37 PM

Cool!

Rashid.bk · 6 November 2013, 02:55 PM

awesome pics. Very classy, and in a suit too. Perhaps the head phones are from the studio, i.e. for the interview or he's sponsored. Sometimes you guys worry me.

Product placement on the headphones for sure. Although they're littered with finger prints so maybe it was an afterthought. If he's an audiofile he'd have something like the Sennheiser HD 800s.

Tyson is actually an ambassador for the Monster Headphones brand, which is why I was instructed to have them in some of the pictures. This was not a commercial shoot, or the headphones would be spotless and there'd be more effort to make them stand out more with lighting etc.

He knows his Rolex's and he adores this particular model.

threemonkeys · 6 November 2013, 03:22 PM

I've never heard of him. But he's certainly a handsome gent with a great style. I might have to reconsider my Daniel Craig man-crush.

Well they're great photos nonetheless.

HACKNSACK44 · 6 November 2013, 04:07 PM

Nice picture!

acathp · 6 November 2013, 05:46 PM

Never heard of him- but ladies turn to say re a pic of a model- hardly see the watch except in the second pic! Can see why he is a supermodel!
Great pics!

acathp · 6 November 2013, 06:36 PM

Well he is in the news in Australia. Sounds like a lovely guy

Glad people like the pics. I'm not trying to turn this into a publicity thing or saying the watch is better because a celeb wears it. Just wanted to share my experience :-)

mike@ec · 6 November 2013, 09:15 PM

he was the Ralph Lauren mens wear model, not sure if he still is

travisb · 6 November 2013, 09:20 PM

He wears it well. Such a great watch.

Vincent65 · 6 November 2013, 09:21 PM

Great photos - I remember he started his career with the 'Polo' label, and the early 'Polo Sport' campaigns when that line was launched back in the early-mid 90s. I worked for PRL at the time. Cool guy.

FeelingTheBlues · 6 November 2013, 09:24 PM

That watch sure looks great on him but I must wonder how tall he is if the DSSD looks medium sized on him.

Lol-x · 6 November 2013, 09:35 PM

Thanks for sharing

The DSSD looks real nice on the wrist

To be fair does this mean we can now post supermodels (non-gender specific) wearing a Rolex

aeon888 · 7 November 2013, 02:43 AM

I thought he was Tyrese Gibson.

Should I start with the "What watch? I don't see any watch?" comments?

Trouble15 · 7 November 2013, 02:47 AM

Nice
