He’s sponsored by Seiko.

Just like Roger is sponsored by Rolex.

Says nothing...

I bet he could have worn a Rolex but maybe he was still waiting for a call from Rolex that never came LOL. Way to go Seiko

I am thinking of selling my Rolex and buying a Seiko. It will make me feel like I am in high school again!

He’s one of those do gooders - no surprises seeing him wear a seiko.

Probably a spring drive. He just wanted a watch that is accurate. *Ducks*

Wrong section...should be in the Seiko section...oh wait
...hang on
...hang the futtock on
...there is no Seiko section.

Trolling is best served cold in the Jokes section...

You gotta dance with who brung you! If Seiko signs the check, Seiko it is!

That aside, I couldn't stop watching that match yesterday. Really entertaining.

And I get bored easily! Good for Seiko! They make great watches (I own Rolex and Seiko).

Yes my joking was too obscure...been watching too many re-runs of Upstart Crow.

Don't think so. Mostly an Astron GPS Solar.

it is the seiko astron GPS solar...
I would ove to see him with Grand seiko... when you look at Tennis - Rolex, AP, longines... Grand Seiko would seem more appropriate in this room...

but Grand Seiko still has no ambassadors, and feels that the watch is the focus, not the wrist it sits upon...

I bet TRF's stud negotiator, the Kowloon Wonder, can get him a better deal with Seiko; might even land a Credor!

So grown men can't wear seiko 'cause it's juvenile and inferior to Rolex?

$#*@! Wish there'd been a Wimbledon spoiler notice on this post. I have it recorded and had been avoiding seeing the news...

I hope it's a GS he's wearing.
