I challenge you to name me a superstar on his level in any sport that has a cleaner record off the court and has done more for the community. The man is personally putting over 1000 kids through college and that’s just one of his donations.

I been a fan since the first televised game when he was dunking on fools in a SVSM oversized jersey. The kid is something special. Rolex west coast Rep prob sends stuff to his house for him and his whole family. That’s publicity gold when king James is rocking your product. Knowing the state Rolex is in these days the coral will be renamed the LBJ OP and have a whole new hype beast audience ringing Ads off the hook and the ultra rich paying 19.5 at a grey for one.

Not taking anything away from Lebron, but since I'm a big Warriors and Steph Curry fan, Steph's daily watch is a Sea-Dweller Deepsea.

anthony davis has an insane collection full of rare gem set PM rolexes and tourbillon APs also. all eyes are on the lakers all the time so it's huge publicity and a chance for rolex to appeal to a richer audience as well. to be honest though looking at AD's collection you really have to be a watch guy to have one like that, or maybe he hired someone who really knows what he's doing lol

Lebron is a chump in my book and I could care less about him, what he wears or anything else about him.

There’s opinions and there’s facts. Have you heard about the grade/middle school he helped put together in his hometown. I’m a Laker fan and couldn’t stand him before. Then I read about all the philanthropic stuff he’s done. It’s impressive. Please don’t make this political.

Famous people like LeBron don't have to mess around to get those or anything popular to the marketing teams. They are the reason why everyone else buys them and why people make these forum posts. Famous/talented dude buys same watch as me !!

There are no lists for this man. When he shows up in Switzerland, they throw stainless Daytonas in his path by the crate-full to welcome his arrival like we used to throw ticker tape parades for astronauts returning from the moon.

Wrong.

For Rogerer Federer in Switzerland yes, but nobody knows Leb... (what?) in Switzerland.

Only kidding, prefer Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant . But all 3 are basketball giants!

I haven't seen his collection, but his rainbow Daytona is aftermarket (no diamonds on the lugs).

LeBron is one of the most philanthropic athletes in American sports. I'm not sure anyone else comes close.

just some of the more special ones, but he has a bunch of other PM models. i know his rainbow was aftermarket and i'm really surprised, maybe he's since replaced it with the real one lol

Roger Federer is top for Rolex, but there are more. The keyword is Rolex Ambassadors

I think those celebrities only want those hot steel models to prove they have the clout to get them at retail without playing games or paying premiums on the secondary market. Because normally, they would wear gold watches pretty much 99% of the time to flaunt their wealth and separate themselves from the rest of the plebeians who have to scramble to get them at MSRP. I have seen Producer Michael pulling the same crap in his videos, pretty much bragging in front of everybody that he was able to get the Cermit from his AD while he wears WAY more expensive watches most of the time.
