Collectors argue the need to call watches by names like \"Pepsi\", \"Coke\", \"Batman\" and so on, but what can't be argued is Roger Federer's status as one of the all-time tennis greats. On his wrist in 2009, when he sealed himself within the pantheon of tennis immortality after he beat Andy Roddick in the final for his 6th Wimbledon title and record 15th major men's singles title, was what has become known as the 'Roger Federer', the Rolex Datejust ref. 116334.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffered here we have a full set Rolex Datejust II ref. 116334 with a silver dial boasting purple concentric Arabic numerals, the very same configuration that Roger Federer helped popularise by wearing in his 2009 Wimbledon celebrations. A sporty Rolex with the silhouette to match, this Datejust is a contemporary take on one of horology's most timeless designs. Sure, it's not a sports watch per se, but its more than capable of taking whatever you intend on throwing at it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresented with its box and papers, this example is a full set.

IW3706 Full Set Tritium Dial","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaunched in 1994 and produced until 2005 across two separate generations, the IWC Fliegerchronograph is a no-nonsense pilot’s chronograph that takes a robust and versatile design and imbues it with IWC’s spirit as a tool watch maker. Belonging to the first generation that ran from 1994 to 2000, this example features all of the neo-vintage design details that have led this watch to become an icon within IWC’s catalogue. IWC at their tool-watch-best before they went hard into the sphere of luxury in the 2000s, the IWC 3706 is one of the best neo-vintage chronographs money can buy, especially when you control for cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowered by the automatic Valjoux cal. 7750 movement with both the day and date in addition to its chronograph function, an incredibly legible tritium dial that shouts the time at you (which was swapped for a luminova version in the second generation) and a robust construction, it is a wonderfully balanced joy on the wrist. A relative bargain on the market considering what it offers, its history, its design, its craftsmanship and what it has gone on to inspire in IWC's modern catalogue, this watch is IWC at their very best before they went into the super luxurious world that they have since decided to reside within. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered with its original tritium dial and hands, which have aged to a nice soft creamy colour, this example’s display is a delight. In addition to its original dial, this example also features its original fish crown, a common part to be swapped at service for the later IWC-branded crowns from the post-2000s examples (much like the non-tritium dials). Presented with its original pyramid bracelet (comfortably fitting a wrist up to 7.5”), this example is as good as this reference gets. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied with its original box and 1998-dated, stamped, and serialised original IWC guarantee card (papers), this example is a true collector’s item. The white finish on the box is crumbling, however, as these older boxes notoriously do over the years. The white outer coating dries up and flakes off from the substrate underneath. This is typical and to be expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have any questions regarding the watch, please feel free to message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
