Rolex on the red carpet!

He’s wearing my watch - actually the one I’m still waiting for! Lol. My son also recognized it! I guess I must be rubbing off on him! He too will be a collector!

Michael Strahan - white Daytona C

Yep - the wife called me in to tell me he has the white dial on! I've trained her well.

Thought it might look small on him since many complain about the size. But I agree - it looks great on him.

Yeah. Not at all.

Fits him super. And clearly he’s a big guy.

Check it out. It’s hard to miss.

He’s holding the mic in his left hand, so literally every shot has it. Incredible press for the crown.

Yeah. My wife started watching, but as soon as I saw Strahan I started to get interested too.

Although I watch every year something similar happened with me. Last year this came on and got my undivided attention!





As I typed this they mentioned it's "Brought to you by Rolex".

Even if there was a list at his AD, I’m sure paying the premium is a non issue for him. Cool to see on the screen though. Looks like Rolex has some presence in this years awards but not as much as last year as I think they were the primary sponsor?

So Strahan's watch was a product placement?

That wouldn't surprise me. I'm not sure what else he owns or wears regularly but they're sponsors and all.

If it was - I find it interesting that Rolex used the hardest to obtain watch! Kinda funny.

The Daytona C, SS SkyDweller, Hulk, BLNR, and SD43 are some of the few watches that you can’t typically walk into a store and buy... I’d say the good ones are hard to obtain.

I don’t think it was product placement in the least with strahan. It might have been model placement however.....
