I didn't know he was born in Basel, much better he is into watches than banking capital ratios like I was made to be at Uni...

Federer won Miami Open yesterday and was wearing a SS Sky-Dweller. This picture is from one of his many, many Wimbledon victories. You can mainly tell by the trophy + what he is wearing. White is mandatory for all players at Wimbledon.

I love it. Roger Federer is the coolest thing about modern day Rolex, to me. Plus, a friend of mine who works for Nike has worked with Roger quite a bit and says he's one of the most down to earth, nice guys around, which is really the icing on the cake.

Does anyone know what is in his collection, I'm assuming quite a lot?
His resurgence is nothing short of amazing...

I was at this event and was able to see it in the metal after the win. Here he is posing with fans after the win while the SkD poses on his wrist. Long distance wrist shot sniping for my fellow WIS. It certainly has a presence of a true stunner.

As others have already posted pics of Roger wearing the 2012 watch later in this thread, you can check my previous posts ie; "WRUW", for example, and see the watch. It's easier than my going to Photobucket and posting. I am somewhat technically challenged.

in the youtube video posted above, he shares three watches from his personal collection: a Day-Date, a Date-Just, and a Daytona. I think the Day-Date is a platinum DDII (ref. 218206); the Datejust a DJII (ref. 116334), and the Daytona is an '81 vintage (ref. 6263). He has also been recently photographed wearing a GMT Batman at the 2017 Australian Open ceremony. And the April 2017 GQ photoshoot has him wearing a few different Rolex watches, featuring him with a WG Pepsi GMT on the cover (http://www.gq.com/story/roger-federer-cover-story-2017).

I'm sure he has many many more -- including the recent stainless steel Skydweller!

PS: The combination of peak-lapel jacket with sweatpants is a ridiculous look, by the way. But of course Federer somehow gets away with it. . .

He dresses sharp like his twin, Jimmy Carr, too.

Watches we see at his wrists are not from his personal collection, they are given to him from Rolex as they wanted to, looking at countries and marketing.
I think it's impossible to tell something about his personal collection... BUT... take a look at This
