HONINGTON, UNITED KINGDOM - FEBRUARY 10: Prince Harry is seen wearing a Rolex Explorer II watch during a visit to RAF Honington on February 10, 2012 in Honington, England. The Prince met Afghanistan veterans and was shown new equipment such as sniper rifles, night vision systems and machine guns.

Humble watch for royalty... I figured he would be wearing an AP in combat.

masterserg · 12 February 2012, 07:08 AM

Right tool for the job.

Dr. Robert · 12 February 2012, 07:10 AM

The young man's got class.

Grumpy Badger · 12 February 2012, 07:28 AM

The 24 hour hand matches his hair... Good drills, Ginge!

Fifth Ave Rolex Man · 12 February 2012, 07:41 AM

Nice!

Grumpy Badger · 12 February 2012, 07:44 AM

GMT hand is set for somewhere Zulu -5... I wonder why he's got it set to that? Girlfriend in the US??

MortgageGuy · 12 February 2012, 07:46 AM

Looks good IMO...what great taste

esm · 12 February 2012, 08:09 AM

Interesting. Do you think Harry parties with this watch too?

Psmith · 12 February 2012, 08:20 AM

Looks like the crown is somewhat unscrewed...

hdrazor251 · 12 February 2012, 08:52 AM

He has great taste in watches.

Cabaiguan · 12 February 2012, 10:24 AM

This kid seems to get a lot of flak from the Brit press, but I kind of like him best of all the lot. He's got some balls and isn't afraid to chart his own course. Good for him.

erikscollectables · 12 February 2012, 07:20 PM

Good for him!

I am always a bit surprised how many royals here in Europe wear Rolex watches - it is the same here in the Netherlands.

Were the few rich people I know either wear a cheap watch or a very expensive one of brands less known to the general public like PP/AP/V&C but rarely any Rolex and the royals who could pay any kind of watch often wear Rolex - I personally find that very surprising especially as these watches are so visible and well known to many people

Anyway my Polar says hi to HRH prince Harry :)

You are confused, that is my wrist from my last paint ball outing.

Everyone knows the prince wears Omega.

mailman · 12 February 2012, 11:21 PM

I still have yet to see one in person.

Wrong prince... It's Will who wears the omega his mother gave him.

Up til now I've only ever seen Harry wearing G10 watches while in uniform.

Lion · 13 February 2012, 01:12 AM

At least we know he has good taste in watches the Polar is a great watch!!!

Just speculation, but maybe the royals like wearing the "crown"...pun intended.

Gaijin · 13 February 2012, 05:57 PM

Both of the Princes seem like good men. Great Britain should be very proud. They both talk the talk and walk the walk.

johnbeth · 13 February 2012, 06:10 PM

Nice watch!

Puffy · 13 February 2012, 07:39 PM

Danish royal family all wears Rolex too

travisb · 13 February 2012, 07:42 PM

Thanks.

tomchicago · 14 February 2012, 12:17 AM

that photo looks a bit doctored to me...anyone else?

SS Oyster · 14 February 2012, 02:19 AM

Great watch, but if you are going into combat, I'd go black dial ... much more fitting to wear with fatigues or in the field than a "Over here, shoot at the white dial!" polar.

FX44 · 14 February 2012, 02:20 AM

Good choice

tkc324 · 14 February 2012, 03:26 AM

I think thats the perfect watch for him. Good taste!

The Taliban might notice the Apache he'd be sitting in a little before there eyes were drawn to his white watch!
