Swiss Olympic Curling team - what watch

Anybody able to identify the watch they have yet ? It looks like a rolex on a Swiss flag NATO strap, and probably a SubC.

Strap looks awful to me, but I'm a Brit which may explain it.

I don't think they are wearing Rolex watches. And No, I disagree with your assessment just based on photographs on the internet. Omega's superb premium high end NATO straps are among the very best

Perhaps you are a little disappointed because team Great Britain's Men Curling team was knocked out in the semi finals with a 9-5 playoff loss to team Switzerland

Team Canada and Switzerland are all wearing Omega watches . I cannot verify my findings but a fellow WIS who was watching the Curling events live on TV said those are Omega watches and Nato straps. I think the Swiss team members are wearing more likely Seamasters rather than Aqua Terra or Speedies fitted with the red white Natos watches probably sponsored by Omega's Olympic Marketing Team at Pyeong Chang

I know the feeling. I wish I could recover the bandwidth I wasted reading your post.

Can i say something out of kilter.. can we have an agreement(like) button on these forums.. it would save time and we would get more opions..and maybe the hierarchy might listen to those who adore the word 'Rolex'..

I'm going to assume you're speaking of NASCAR; or as I call it, Bumper Cars for Adults. I can't imagine sitting down and trying to watch a 500 mile race. Mind draining.

F1 rules!
