I don't see the crown on the clasp, but it looks like a Jubilee. I hope she can ski this weekend...

There is already another thread about this with more photos....it's definitely a DJ (I'd say 36mm) with diamond dial and diamond bezel.

Hey, what the h**l is wrong with you? Your testosterone level is way too elevated for this site. You better up the number of WIS pills you take per day.

It is a Rolex for a reason; they are one of her sponsors. These pictures don't happen by chance; Red Bull, Head skis and Rolex.

She's the darling of Minnesota these days. Wonder if she got her watch through one of the AD's around here or directly from Rolex?

Rolex pays her to wear the watch; she has an endorsement with them. She probably has a room full of watches.

" Recently named to the U.S. Olympic team, and armed with a new endorsement contract with Rolex, Vonn is expecting to race this weekend at World Cup ski races in Switzerland, where she could clinch this season's World Cup title. "

Ran into her at Buck Hill a few years ago doing a benefit/promotion event. This is the mountain (I mean hill) where she learned how to ski. Hope her injury does not keep her from going for the gold over the next couple weeks! Do Minnesota proud Lindsey!

Dont worry she'll compete. Call me skeptical but I think that this is all manufactured drama. She might be hurt but yet she walked through the airport without a limp

No they dont. They showed her walking through the airport on the news the other night. All of her belongings were bagged up, all of her luggage and equipment...yet her ski boots were not. They were hung in plain sight, their logo showing for all to see. Coincidence? I think not!

When I wore a younger man's Lycra shorts and race bicycles even lowly category nothing racers could get swag from manufacturers if they appeared in a media with a manufacturers logo showing.

She had to do a training run today or she would not be permitted to race; she said it hurt but got the run in.

The woman's downhill is now complete; if Lindsay Vonn wants her watch to match her medal as the anthem is played Rolex better get her a yellow DD quick.

My kind of women.
