Had a look at the Rolex site today, and there is a tribute to Roger Federer winning the French Open. Interestingly he is wearing a white Yacht Master 2, which I thinks looks pretty good! I thought he was a Daytona man.

Does anyone own a Yacht Master 2?

Yep. He put one on after he won the French Open. Very cool.

Yes it's very nice, has such a big price tag though

A lovely watch - and one that's highly under-rated, IMO.

Would seriously doubt if he even bought it.

No chance he paid for it himself

I agree with all of the above

I think Roger is a legend. Although, I voted Paul Newman in a poll recently, I think with Rogers youth, and lack of bad injury history, this guy could be around for years

He could be synonymous with ROLEX

PN was synonymous with the Cosmograph model, what will be Rogers Model

There is a full-page ad in the International Herald Tribune today. Federer kissing the cup, wearing the YMII. I've only tried it on, and it's a beautiful piece.

They give golfers and tennis players watches after most victories. I bet he has, or had, dozens and dozens of them.

True , and no real point giving him a SS Daytona , these sell themselves .

I really like the look of the Yacht Master II and I'm sure he received it as a perk for winning the tournament!!!

chenx15 · 10 June 2009, 10:34 AM

Can you trace which championship did he start wearing one?
