Each to their own I guess, but I think Richard Mille watches are incredible, and this is a superb example of their craftsmanship.

X2 though not to sure about having the word "Nadal" on a 1/2 mil watch

Agreed. You'd have to REALLY like the guy (or be fortunate enough to have the surname "Nadal"!) to wear that.

But silly sponsor-naming aside, it's a great looking watch IMO, and obviously a serious triumph of technology.

Oh, man, that is one hot watch!

For me personally, whether I would pay half a million for it is completely an academic issue. But if somebody gave me one, I would not complain.

Having "Nadal" on it is a little strange, I admit, but it wouldn't stop me from wearing it.

At least Nadal has a real watch brand and not some cheapo sponsor like Federer.

In fact, I can't imagine Nadal ever caring about a watch, so I bet he did it just to piss off "The Rog."

Just read that his watch was stolen a few months ago out of his locker during a match in Toronto. :popo:

I wonder when it will show up in our buy/sell forum....with crappy pictures from someone's cell phone.

That is a fine looking piece, but at half a million it should be. Not a bad payday for RM either, LE of 50 watches at 500,000 each=25 million...I reckon that would go a long way in paying the rent eh?
