Frank Nobilo's watch

What on earth is it? I have been looking at it for a while and while I like Frank, I don't like his watch at all. It looks like it has a bicycle chain for a bracelet and you could fit 3 fingers underneath it with the slack. Anyway, it's my favorite weekend in all of sport. I'll just have to try and ignore that watch.

This is kind of a golfer question, most people who know the announcer would know the watch. I was just watching "Live at the Masters" and he was on.

I think you're describing this chrono with a PVD'd (or ceramic) center-linked bracelet.

The band kind of looks like this Corum found on Ebay. I've seen other pics besides the above of him with a similar band, black face watch:

The center links appear to be different in the pic I found - but not really sure that pic was what Larry saw on TV...

I guess with the nearly 24-hr./day Masters coverage we'll have plenty of chances to see it again.

I just googled "Frank Nobilo's watch" and ended up here. Its been bugging me for a long time, and I finally had enough! I like oversized watches despite now finding myself wanting an AP jumbo...but that monstrosity is way, way to big for anyone less than Shaq. Pretty dang hideous.

I think it might have been Oakley for sure. From his Twitter feed during last years Masters:

Wife and I had the same discussion Wednesday night when we were watching. We both commented on how bad the watch looked especially in a suit.
Duvall appears to be wearing a Daytona black dial.

He's a great dresser. And a successful wine maker as well.

Too bad he has shite taste when it comes to watches. Maybe it was a gift and he feels like he has to wear it.

Watching tonight, he still has the same wipe every. Give him credit, he likes what he likes and he’s a very good commentator.
