I have no idea what the reference would be especially on an Oysterflex. Looks like a Chrono of some sort and he is along with Nicklaus the brands most high profile Ambassador. Maybe Leather?

The man is an advertisement, a Rolex Ambassador. He'll wear what he's provided.




But.... I'd rather see this approach than having "James Bond 007" tattooed all over my watch!

In his world of a alpha star it looks incredible. He is not exactly running to Costco with it on his wrist and that’s the difference between celebrity style and how the average affluent owner could see it in their lifestyle. Guys like Mark Wahlberg rock a Rainbow Daytona with a pair of track pants and it looks incredible. Big personalities need watches with just as much punch.

It's all about how you carry yourself. When you look like him, is as well respected as him, and as confident as him, you can wear anything and still make it look good. That man is pure class.

I can appreciate that one, but limited wearability IMO.

Looks great! I like the simple black/white aesthetic with just the texture of the knit tie and then the bright watch as the only contrasts.

If I were Rolex, I would provide him with the full range - and some models will obviously not appeal to everyone, but who cares? They are in the business of marketing, not a beauty contest.

They have provided him with a birth year Daytona, and he often enjoys wearing a black dial 16570. There are a few videos floating around from Rolex about the Daytona.

Class act.
