Supermodel Tyson Beckford chose wisely

Hey guys, I don't normally do this but I'm posting some pics I took of Supermodel Tyson Beckford wearing his Rolex Deep Sea. He's a sweet guy and absolutely loves the watch and we had a nice little conversation about it.

Here are some of the pics

awesome pics. Very classy, and in a suit too. Perhaps the head phones are from the studio, i.e. for the interview or he's sponsored. Sometimes you guys worry me.

Product placement on the headphones for sure. Although they're littered with finger prints so maybe it was an afterthought. If he's an audiofile he'd have something like the Sennheiser HD 800s.

Tyson is actually an ambassador for the Monster Headphones brand, which is why I was instructed to have them in some of the pictures. This was not a commercial shoot, or the headphones would be spotless and there'd be more effort to make them stand out more with lighting etc.

He knows his Rolex's and he adores this particular model.

Well they're great photos nonetheless.

I've never heard of him. But he's certainly a handsome gent with a great style. I might have to reconsider my Daniel Craig man-crush.

Glad people like the pics. I'm not trying to turn this into a publicity thing or saying the watch is better because a celeb wears it. Just wanted to share my experience :-)

Great photos - I remember he started his career with the 'Polo' label, and the early 'Polo Sport' campaigns when that line was launched back in the early-mid 90s. I worked for PRL at the time. Cool guy.

That watch sure looks great on him but I must wonder how tall he is if the DSSD looks medium sized on him.

Thanks for sharing

The DSSD looks real nice on the wrist

To be fair does this mean we can now post supermodels (non-gender specific) wearing a Rolex

Should I start with the "What watch? I don't see any watch?" comments?
