The Olympic watch thread

[Eighteeteewhy]

There's bound to be some watch porn on our TVs in the next few weeks.

I'll start with Amhir Kahns on now. Any ideas?

ETA....Jake pointed it out with a nice close up, bling bling!

Is that a jacob ?

It was awful whatever it was.

You've actually increased my interest in the Olympics. (From reading the main thread on the opening night, it sounds like it is the pile of wk I suspected it would be. Never have I ever chosen a better time in my life to do a complete systems back up than tonight. Been watching Red Dwarf DVD. )

Anyway, please post relevant photos/screen shots.

Not Olympics but I saw a Richard Mille over the weekend in the Formula 1 on one of the presenters.

Mark Foster had a ploprof on yesterday.

Was the Singaporean Table Tennis coach wearing a IWC Portuguese in rose gold?

[Spaceman2001]

What watch was Stuart Pearce wearing during team GB match last night.
Large gold watch on a bright blue strap?

Martin Brundle. It's very nice. Steep entry price to the RM world unfortunately. Phillipe Massa of course wears the RM Phillipe Massa edition.

Ross Braun you quite often see wearing a Milguass, or a Tag. Lewis and jensen wearing tags of course as well.

Wiggo with a Panerai on BBC3 now.

Cav was wearing something I couldn't quite make out when they interviewed him after Saturday's event. Couldn't ever quite get a good look at it but am hoping it was an APROO.

I think he was wearing an AP today in the velodrome

Has been all week, I think. Am sure he was/is an Omega ambassador so would make sense.

Was Thorpedo wearing an PP Aquanaut yesterday? Nothing on his wrist tonight.

Saw Cav commenting on the indoor cycling events today and he was wearing a ROO with rubber bezel and strap.

Think I spotted a Hublot chrono on Lineker's wrist tonight.

Yep. He's had it on all week.

That's what it was. I thought it was a brightly coloured G-Shock.

Same here. The Trini guy was definitely wearing one though.

Damn! Beat me to it! Was going to post Yohan Blake's RM.

I think that Cav has a collection of nice watches- He was wearing a Rolex Daytona 9S/S, white face) the other night; others have seen him wearing an Audemars Piguet at some point too.
Roger Federer was wearing a Rolex for the medal ceremony (of course!) but it wasn't the rose gold one he wore when winning Wimbledon a month back. Del Potro also wearing a bimetal Rolex- dunno if he is sponsored by them as well.

A lot of Hublots on display- suspect this is a bit like the Euro footy championships- Hublot dishing them out left right and centre for publicity.
