What is he wearing

kilyung · 18 July 2013, 11:43 PM

Looks like 116610?

KBM · 18 July 2013, 11:43 PM

Sub date 16610! The Bezel looks aluminum to me.

EricG75 · 18 July 2013, 11:46 PM

Just found a close up looks Like SubC

rlee · 18 July 2013, 11:48 PM

Never knew Rossi wore a Rolex!

His last two races were fantastic!

KBM · 18 July 2013, 11:51 PM

Mike, I think you are right afterall, after the close-up pic the lugs and bezel show it's a Sub-C!

How dare I disagree with the experts! haha

EricG75 · 18 July 2013, 11:54 PM

He is a pretty big collector from what I have seen over the years, I used to live in CA and went to Laguna each year and also the Indy race and every time I saw him walking around at each race was wearing something different

Brandon(phila) · 18 July 2013, 11:57 PM

I wonder if he wears his own signature JLC model?

Naaa...the Sub is cooler

EricG75 · 19 July 2013, 12:02 AM

Rashid.bk · 19 July 2013, 12:37 AM

yeap, long time rolex fan. it's rumored he bought his whole team submariners a year or so ago, as seen in the above image with one of the mechanics.
mega rossi fan, hoping he wins the championship....but comp is really strong now.

EricG75 · 19 July 2013, 12:38 AM

Thats is very nice of him if he did do that.

Brandon(phila) · 19 July 2013, 02:53 AM

Would love to see him win another too, so he can retire on top...was really hoping last year or year before when he was riding for Ducati, but that bike is too hard to ride for some reason.....seems like Stoner is the only person who can ride that damn bike.

T-Rip · 19 July 2013, 02:55 AM

Ill be at Laguna this weekend!!!

GO NICKY HAYDEN!!!!

thsiao · 19 July 2013, 03:02 AM

Interesting... thought he would be wearing his JLC.

Vincent65 · 19 July 2013, 03:15 AM

Yep, sub c, but the older guy is wearing an older model

c.rod · 19 July 2013, 03:18 AM

interesting. on the podium/interview stage wearing a rolex? i would think hes not with JLC anymore then? seems like a def. conflict of interest if you ask me.

pretty cool with all that money and he still wears "normal" watches. (est. net worth $120mil +)

Poor Nicky, I'd love for him to win but on a Ducati....no chance in hell. I had the opportunity of meeting him and he's incredibly friendly and humorous, took a bunch of pictures, and this was at Road Atlanta where he was only there supporting his little bros.
Wish I was at Laguna with ya, one of the best races on the calendar on every level.

h999r · 19 July 2013, 03:53 AM

JLC in the past.

Gotta love Vale, one of the greatest ambassadors to the sport, down to earth and a very likeable guy. And, undoubtedly one of the greatest racers of recent times.

c.rod · 19 July 2013, 04:19 AM

think rolex would sign him? hes probably to "controversial" for them though.....

he would fit right in and i bet breitling would give him a boat load....lmao

dalip · 19 July 2013, 04:22 AM

Exceptional rider...great personality. Nice to see him sporting a Rolex sub.

All times....

second only to Ago.

anothernewphone · 19 July 2013, 05:39 AM

I missed the German race - was it not on TV? I tuned it and it was Moto2, so I did a quick search and the results were ruined for me. I saw a gif of Jorge crashing, what a shame.

FLEXUS · 19 July 2013, 07:10 AM

Mr VR46 A.K.A the GOAT.

Like him even more now we wear the same watch.

Go Vale

Exhausted · 19 July 2013, 09:55 AM

By far my favourite rider!

Chainring · 19 July 2013, 10:09 AM

Very cool. I've been a Rossi fan for a while but I haven't been following the sport since he stopped winning so much. I read his autobiography. The only reason I even remember is that I was sitting in my car reading it when a guy tried to rob me. Good times!

busytimmy · 19 July 2013, 10:16 AM

I think the 114060 would suit him better. It's the weekend. You're at an event. Do you really need to know the date? :)

Indeed, Ago has a few more world championships and Grand Prix wins, so I would second that. There's a great 3 part interview that mcn did with VR, on YouTube. It's great to see him back on the podium and competitive with Yamaha again
