      He is wrong. It's centripetal force in this case because the axis of rotation (the shoulder joint or Nadal's world class forehand) is outside the diameter of the watch.

      Lavar Ball ok but you can have a 200k watch that looks like a regular watch, and you can get one that’s just covered in diamonds. Also not everyone buys watches just bc they’re expensive. They buy them bc of their role in history, as well as their mechanical complications and quality.

    One thing he didn’t mention, the Royal Oak was designed by renowned watch designer Gerald Genta.
    Mr Genta was also responsible for many designs for the big brands today such as IWC, AP, Patek and so on. The Nautilus was designed by Genta for Patek.
    In fact the Royal Oak and Nautilus were designed almost around the same time.

    For time keeping and durability japanese watches is on par with swiss watches... however the feelin of excitement of owning a swiss made watch is undescribable...

    4:44 nice marketing tool :D Thats also why people like chemists, train drivers, teachers and so (who also need (stop)watches every day) are never mentioned in watch commercials. The truth is that its just cool to own such a watch because it subcontiously "makes you a pilot/racecar driver". Redbull and Monsteris using the same marketing tool just with extreme sports instead of pilots and racing. You can stop time with a 15€ casio.

    ok, the orange scheme is not for Nadal's "native Spain" lol. It's an homage to his success at the French Open, which is known for its red-organish clay courts. There are also lines on the watch that clearly represent the lines of a tennis court.
