When it comes to watches, I think little brother wins this round.

So are you saying that he should put the watch his late mother gave him aside and just go out and buy a blinger new one? You think the Seamaster would be just as valuable to him in his sock drawer rather than on his wrist and with him every day? That's some hard hearted watch collecting.

I'm sorry I love this kid. Not that I know him personally but he just comes off as so down-to-earth compared to some of the out-of-touch people we see in Washington. I think it's particularly evident through his charity work. Non of it seems forced or contrived and the guy just seems so genuine.
He also has good taste in Rolex models. |

The whole thing where he was nude in Vegas was so stupid.
The guy was on RnR and going back out to a war zone. I think we can cut him a little slack for wanting to get a few beers into him and wanting to get a hold of a woman. I'll bet heads rolled for it on his security team for it like. Great watch. Every time I see the ExpII I like it more. |

That is quite sporting of him to have that Polar Expy 2 on his wrist.

All of you in The United Kingdom should be very proud of this young man. A true warrior and a class act.

I met Wiiliam a couple of years ago when he attended a 16 Air Assault Brigade pre Afghanistan Tour brief. His father is the Regimental Colonel of the Parachute Regiment and I told him that we were all very proud of that fact. He was, needless to say, very impressed and said Thank you. His Seamaster, if I'm not mistaken is a mid-size quartz.

I like this kid. He's got balls and seems to be more grounded than other "royals".
