Roger shows us his Rolex collection:

I love to see Roger Federer win-if the only alternative is Andy Murry.....
Roger is a very humble guy and in the clip below he talks about his watches:

Thanks!

What a nice man - unlike the lemon sucking scotsman.

You know what - he sounds like a true WIS - I especially liked the "birth year" Daytona - good lad.

Andy

I like that he knows the stories to those watches then admits others are engraved so he doesn't forget..."oh yeah my 14th grand slam..."

I wonder what he full collection look like though :shock:

It's a shame that age is catching up with him.
He used to endorse Maurice Lacroix didn't he?

[BigTel]

Thank's that was a really nice video showing how pleasant a person He is also.

[Ray1]

I love his Daytona :)

I would like to see Nadal talking about his Richard Mille watches....

Deep Sea Diver for my birth year 83? I'm going to go take a look...

Great film thanks.

[Gareth-W]

Great post, thanks for sharing.

[Omegamanic]

I am sure I have spent a lot more money with them than Roger and they haven't given me a platinum day date II :(

;)

As a huge Federer fan, this is a great clip. Watches are a big thing in Swiss culture and I'm not surprised he takes appreciates his time pieces.

[Lauting]

Thanks for sharing nice to know he appreciates them and treats them with care.

Come on the Fed for Wimbledon.

[AZTIME]

Nice piece with Feder. Now we need a similar video from Nadel talking about that gorgeous piece of workmanship he gets to wear during matches. The same exact model his
uncle (and I suspect his entire family) gets to sport from up in the stands.

[Skier]

In my opinion that video comes across as little short of a commercial. Remember that Federer is sponsored by Rolex and whilst there's nothing wrong in someone having a favourite brand, if he was truly interested and this was an impartial 'chat' then there would, almost certainly, be other favoured brands. He's probably paid for none of them and his wife almost certainly won't have paid for the vintage gift.

Not having a go at Federer or Rolex but this is modern high-end marketing.

[Antony23]

I love Federer, always comes across as a stylish and classy guy.

However, I can never understand why he'd wear such an expensive watch to play tennis, when he could easily damage it diving around the court. Whilst some might say Rolex would give him another anyway as it's great advertising, he states some of them he plays in are engraved and of sentimental value. So you wouldn't think he'd want to beat them up.

I'm surprised no-one has started moaning about the PCLs.

[Blackhawk]

A Daytona for your birth watch how nice is that!
