If they catch the guy, they should tie him to the net, set the ball machine on MAX & pummel him with lead shot filled tennis balls from ten feet away for sixty minutes.

I'll stick with my $150 Victorinox pocket watch. It's accurate to about 30 seconds in six months. That is, after all, the purpose of a watch.

Interesting thread gentlemen.

Having said that, I generally agree with Nodak.

I must admit I do find the majority of posts on this thread to be quite ironical given comments made on another thread in this "timepiece" category. Reference Posts 371 - 400 on Pages 38 - 40 respectively on the "What are you wearing on your wrist today" thread.

PS: I have no personal knowledge of this but having played tennis and being a huge fan, it wouldn't surprise me at all that Rafa was wearing the watch for marketing purposes.

Also, if you haven't seen Rafa play, you really should. He is, by any standard, an amazing athlete and is also very pious and respectful on the court, unlike many other ego driven athletes in this day and age.

The only time anybody needs to know when they are playing tennis, or any sport, is that it's TIME to WIN.
