(Pretty hot right?)
On Sunday, I was able to catch his finals match at the French Open before going to work. Where he won for the fifth time.
(Right after his win)
This time however, I noticed something different about him. It was his watch. Usually, tennis players won't wear their watch out onto the court. Not the high profile, professional tennis players. Yes, of course they'll have sponsers and put their watch on as soon as their done with their matches. Yet, Nadal was playing in the finals at Rolland Garros wearing a watch. Come to find out it wasn't just any watch.
Turns out he was wearing a watch made my Richard Millie, a man before Sunday I had never heard of even existing. Here's a close up of the watch he had on:

Now why isn't it just any watch? Because this watch cost 535,000 dollars. Yep, you read that right. Nope I didn't add any extra zeros. The watch is one of 50 that will be produced. It only weighs the weight of 8 pennies and is made of a carbon composite case and lithium alloys.
A bit expensive even for a billionaire, yes. I think the most expensive watch I've ever had has been my 125.00 dollar Fossil watch, which lasted for 5 years before the glass got cracked during a twirling practice. Don't get me wrong though, if someone gave me this watch, I'd wear it haha!
So my question is, even if you had that much money to spend on a watch would you? OR would you actually spend that money on so many more things and good causes? Because really.... who needs a watch that expensive during these hard economic times?
