The point is : will RM be able to keep the prices of his watches so high?

I love Rafa, but I think a more modest watch may make him more appealing to the true tennis fan, who appreciate Rafa's game for its beauty, guts and passion. My gut feeling is that Omega could have performed the same engineering feat at 1/10 of the cost (which puts the watch at ~ 53k BTW).

The watch is really beautiful, not to mention the tourbillion complication it has, I think RM has done an excellent job on developing such as watch, having this complication that can resist the high impacts and sudden rushing that Nadal develops while playing a Tennis, is not an easy task to do. Congratulation to RM on developing such as great and resistant watches.

No matter your tastes I don't think it can be denied that this is truly a technical achievement. The sheer fact that a watch of this complexity can function accurately and consistently despite the shocks and impacts it is subjected to on Nadal's wrist is mind-blowing. @el sid - not only was the piece given to Rafa as part of the sponsorship deal but he also helped design it :) Hey everyone, thanks for all your comments, please keep them coming!
