Haha that's a great idea and I'll take you up on it.

I also spotted an article, about how previous winners of the show are doing, earlier on. It shows LAS around 12 years ago, wearing a Daytona, I'm seeing a theme here!

If you look on their FaceBook page you can see him shaking hands with one of my friends. He apparently visited to replace some beloved watches his sadly lost in a recent robbery . . .
Imagine if he really paid a 50% premium to get this regular production watch. In the boardroom he'd lose all credibility when slagging off contestants for their wasteful inefficiencies.

Thanks OP.
Great idea to update each week

Interesting to see if the watches are shown to camera in the 'You're fired' pointing moment.

He does wear them well. I think BLRO tomorrow, doubt he'll wear his Cartier Calibre.

You can wear whatever you want if you have that kind of money. It’s like the question where does a 500 lbs gorilla sleep in the jungle? Anywhere he wants.

Sort of debunks the whole sell to locals rule.
This is ugly and elitist ....fact hes got one puts me off as hes a proper tool...perhaps thats where the term tool watch comes from...good adverising though

Looks terrible, how loose do you have to wear a watch to have a French Cuff slide underneath the case.

To each their own but you wouldn’t catch me looking like that.

i think he is wearing the watch loose for a reason,,
seeing how low it sits just proves that its for the camera and he is playing to the crowd,,,,,
It would not suprise me in the slightest if he was a reader on this forum,,,,jay

Well he certainly has the time for the camera setups. He hardly does anything on the show now, obviously nothing while they are out and then when in the boardroom the arguing is now much reduced and he mostly just takes the advice of Karen and Claude and doesn't bother trying to fathom all the contestant's BS.

Not the right watch for a suit but when you're Alan Sugar you can get away with almost anything.

Guys, he’s advertising for Rolex. It’s a business. Free watches, free money.

You couldn't miss it last night, those lights really showed off the watch. Also shows off the apprentices' eyes, esp when they are so blue.

He has a large collection, and I'm sure he's not paid over list, he mentioned the AD he got the ceramic daytona from! He replaced is 16520 that was lost/stolen at watch finder.

I've also noticed him wearing a blue sky dweller, and a platinum day date.

Personaly i do not like the look, especialy pure sports bigger models. Suit=leather strap for me. Doesnt have to be a dress watch do. Black (vintage) sub on a leather strap will work fine most of the times.

I see he's in the papers as the number one suspect over the dodgy NDA, he and Duncan Bannatyne. I doubt it's Sugar, doesn't seem the type.

Edit - it wasn't him.

He’s probably getting paid to wear it, or at least getting it for free in exchange for a tweet to say which jeweller he got it from.

I thought Hulks had green face and bezel, Kermits had black face and green bezel?
