Mike Sigel - World Champion - Rolex
I took private pool lessons from the legendary "many-time" 9 Ball, Straight Pool, Eight ball World Champion Mike "The Mouth", "Captain Hook" Sigel. This is the equivalent of a golfer getting private lessons from Tiger Woods. Mike is 57 and still plays world class pool. He also wears a gorgeous Rolex that he purchased new in 1985. He said he never had it serviced and it keeps perfect time.
I took a few shots of him warming up before our lesson and got a decent one of his "watch" in action. If you're not a pool fan, here is a good article about Mike from Cigar Aficionado: http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar...540,95,00.html Here is a youtube clip from the first 10 minutes of a match between Mike Sigel and Mike Zuglan. Mike runs a perfect 150 ball game.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5bvRhETn_s Thanks. |

I've spoken with Mike several times over the years, I used to work at a pool hall and he was friends with the owner (Tommy Brown). He's a great player and a cool guy.

I don't like wearing my watch when shooting pool. It's distracting.
