Datejust II 116334

[Linuxpenguins]

Greetings!


Does anyone else own this timepiece (My only Rolex)? And does the fact Federer achieved these accolades increase its popularity etc? I’ve never come across this watch in the wild and I’ve not seen any of you fellow enthusiasts with this on your WRUW posts.

It’s a beautiful watch. I did initially consider trading it in towards a SkyDweller (similar style) but I’ve since changed my mind. I still long for the SkyD, and BLNR, but I’ll be keeping this.

Let’s see your photos and thoughts on this time piece!


Here’s a video of him discussing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsBLfyxeSqA

Background: Perhaps the most famous watch Roger Federer owns is his Rolex Datejust II.

On a number of occasions, he has spoken about its personal significance, because it was the timepiece he was wearing in 2009, after he defeated Andy Roddick, lifted the Wimbledon trophy and broke Pete Sampras’ all-time Grand Slam record.

It is a stainless steel model, with a silver dial and blue Arabic numerals, making it one of the most understated watches in his collection.
