This is a $500,000 watch, and he is wearing it at the olympics. Makes no sense to me. Looks like he is going to get fined for not following the rules.

saw Mark cavendish in an AP bumblebee, or think it was, im no expert on AP but pretty sure as i tried one on in london.

I'm sure it's not going to be a $500k fine. = worth it.

Yup. I spotted him wearing that .

 

[tracyl]

Your right, he needs to be fined for having count dracula finger nails! It really is a cool watch though.

 

[wat44]

why would you get fined for wearing a watch? I saw hundreds of athletes wearing them (mostly casio type ones, but still)

Why would you want him scratching your balls in the first place? :sinking:

i noticed the watch during the race and thought it was a pos. i still believe it to be.

You may not like the color or the style but you can't call that watch a POS. One of the most complicated watches created. It's awesome.

One of the most complicated watches created.

Other than the fact that it tells time......it has one complication. It's technically as complicated as a Hublot tourby replica.

THIS watch is complicated!

Yup. That was a pretty dumb post.

@Frig I believe that Richard Mille is known for making unconventional timepieces known for being overly complicated hence the ridiculous price tag. I don't believe the exact specifics of this watch are known yet but look up the split seconds chronograph tourbillon.

Yup. That was a pretty dumb post.

Beemer.. read up. This is not a rolex using an ETA movement getting paid 100% on brand recognition. Richard Mille is real watchmaker.

I'm agreeing with you. :lolcina:

 

[JC7]

Makes sense now. lol

 

[hzardous]

This is one good publicity stunt. I certainly believe the company will be the one shouldering the fine, not mr blake :ninjagone:

 

[wat44]

again - why would RM get a fine and not also casio?

there were PLENTY of non-Omega watches worn by athletes

 

[Wacker23]

I dont know why you would want this guy scratching your balls but i like that watch.
