Watched his press conference after winning today and noticed he is once again sporting the Polar. Heck of a win for him and a great start to his 2016 season. Kid is incredibly talented and his attitude is second to none. Very humble. Nice to see that as opposed to the arrogance some of them display. Congrats Jordan!

Love Spieth and the polar.

Daytona88 · 11 January 2016, 02:21 PM

He is a class act, just like the polar

DocHorton · 11 January 2016, 03:12 PM

He must love the white face Rolex's, I've seen him wear the Polar and he was also on the cover of "D Magazine" last year wearing a white dial SS Daytona.

Spieth and the polar - both nicely understated.

Duke84 · 12 January 2016, 09:30 AM

I'm a fan of both. I have a polar Explorer II and appreciate Spieth's humility and class.

Boaters · 12 January 2016, 09:36 AM

Spieth rules will break tigers record of 7 wins before 23 ... I believe

droptopman · 12 January 2016, 09:38 AM

Spieth is a class act. I too am a fan of both (Spieth and the Exp II). Refreshing change to see a performer of his level with such humility. He is an amazing golfer, just has zero weaknesses. I think he is going to rewrite the record books over the next fews years. Seems every win he breaks a record.

Does he wear the 16570 or 216570??? The pics I saw looked like the old model but it's hard to tell.

Definitely 216570...no way Rolex is letting its ambassadors wear models they are not producing anymore.

I have seen him wear 216570, 116520 and the 116719BLRO....nice line up!

That is incorrect.

He's a marketing dream for Rolex.

Yes - a bit like Roger Federer in that regard.

Look closely at the GMT hand. While the color is not capured the arrow is clearly the 216570.

brandrea · 12 January 2016, 10:15 AM

He seems like a fine young man, very mature for his age. His taste in watches proves that

Relyt · 12 January 2016, 11:13 AM

Spieth will take all of the records as long as he doesn't let the fame get to him (which I really don't think he will). From what I have watched and read, he comes from a great family who still put education and school first BEFORE golf, even though they knew the talent he had. Its great that he is working an Explorer.

What a humble and upstanding individual.

He's a great ambassador for the Rolex brand. He was on the cover of Golf Digest last summer sporting his white dial Daytona.

GB-man · 12 January 2016, 12:12 PM

Love this kid!

sgmgolf · 12 January 2016, 10:11 PM

I may stand corrected......although those dial plots and hands still look maxi to me. Clearly the GMT arm looks red but the pointer looks rather large as does the 24 engravings on bezel.
Maybe he has both. I know I have seen him wear the 216570 often with the orange GMT hand, after all he is a Texas Longhorn guy.

Ha! Not to mention the smaller plots.

The watch in the picture has a maxi minute hand and a 24-hour hand that comes to a point before the hour markers. It's definitely a 216570.

You haven't been corrected. You're right, they're mistaken.

Clearly you have a different picture than we do. Blow it up, look closely. He has been known to wear a 216570 though.

Here's another picture of his 216570 taken about seven seconds later. Do you still think it's a 16570?

Tried blowing it up, just can't see enough due to the angle.

That's clearly the clasp of a 216570.

Good debate but I think this settles it.

Here's another way to illustrate the difference. Notice where the arrow begins on the 16570 vs the watch Jordan is wearing.

azguy · 12 January 2016, 11:31 PM

In that picture it sure looks like a 16570

lhanddds · 12 January 2016, 11:55 PM

What a pleasure to watch and pull for such a great golfer, hard worker and decent person. He's going to be fun to watch
