There's a guy on here who photographs his fancy lunches and cigars while wearing a two tone sub.. And it looks deviously delicious while doing so.... I think he's famous at least around these parts?

What I noticed is famous people or celebrities or politicians do wear Submariner but no two tone Submariner with the black dial.

Why is that ?
Geezzzz!

Oyster Perpetual is a stripped down Date Just...no date and 34mm. Doubt that dufus wears them.

Personally, I don't care what movie star "celebrities" wear...and I care even less about Tennis & Golf pros. Zzzzz. ;-)

Federer wears different models every tournament. No big deal for obvious reasons. What I find amazing is Nadal wearing a watch while playing.

Yup. Me too. Even Serena Williams wore her AP while playing.

Since you brought nadal name back up, do we happen to have a member with his latest toy, the rm27-01??

it'll be excellent to have a proud owner amongst us....

I like it, but the Black & Gold TT Sub is one of, if not the least popular model.

Only a pimp would wear a YG Sub.

I particularly like TT black-face and blue-face Subs.
I like gold Subs also, and if I could afford one it would spend a lot of time on my wrist.
I've never met a "pimp" so I wouldn't know what they wear (but it wouldn't concern me anyhow)
Pollies these days are so controlled by their 'image-makers' that they don't have much say in anything.
Celebrities (have a look at some of the people who qualify!) well who cares.

Love my recent SS Sub, wife would be very happy with a TT Rolex, even though she never hankered after a Rolex before. Certainly whether a celeb wears TT or not holds no interest for me, but the prestigious Rolex name and quality obviously does. 😊 I suppose it's all down to what the heart wants and personal taste which, let's face it, isn't what most non A-list 'celebs' are famous for!
