Roger Federer
Just came across this and thought I'd share it for those who may not have seen it before, although it is two years old... Note how he mentions practicing while wearing his Datejust so yes it is safe!

Thanks for sharing. Hadn't seen that video before. Federer is a great ambassador.

He's my favorite tennis player, and very likely to retire as the GOAT (greatest of all time). He is exactly the type of person a watch company wants as an ambassador. I'd be lying if Rolex commercials during the fortnight at Wimbledon haven't made me see their watches in a new light.

As an aside, I saw today that his career prize money winnings is over $80,000,000.

He is a cool customer for sure! Watches looked well used, not so sure he babies them much.

very cool!

But must be nice "a lot of help from Rolex trying to find [1981 Daytona]." and "gave it to me for by 30th birthday" that is a pretty nice present!

He definitely seems like one of the nicest guys you could meet.
