Nelly Korda \u2013 Rolex Submariner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This entry is an interesting one, because it wasn\u2019t actually Nelly Korda who was wearing the Rolex Submariner \u2013 instead, it was her caddy, Jason McDede. It\u2019s not often you see a caddy wearing a Rolex, so this was a welcome change of pace at the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lydia Ko – Rolex Yacht-Master Ref. 126655<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lydia Ko, a golfer from New Zealand who took home a bronze medal this year for her efforts, was spotted wearing a Rolex Yacht-Master, ref. 126655 while accepting her medal at the awards ceremony.

Devin Booker – Rolex GMT-Master II \u201cPepsi\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Devin Booker has had a summer for the record books this year, one that was capped off during his time at the Tokyo Olympics. After helping to lead the Phoenix Suns all the way to the NBA finals this year, he followed up that impressive achievement by heading over to Tokyo and winning a gold medal with the U.S. Men\u2019s Basketball team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was spotted wearing a Rolex GMT-Master II in the \u201cPepsi\u201d style, which as we\u2019ve mentioned previously in other blog posts, is one of the most coveted Rolexes on the market among collectors today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brian Warwick Goorjian – Rolex Datejust<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unless you follow basketball at the international level, Brian Warwick Goorjian is a name that you\u2019re unlikely to be familiar with. However, a cursory glance of the man\u2019s resume speaks for itself \u2013 the coach led the Australian Men\u2019s Basketball team to medal for the first time ever at the Tokyo Olympics. Throughout the games, he was often seen sporting a Rolex Datejust with a blue dial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annika Sorenstam has been a prominent presence in the world of golf for quite some time, having recently risen to the post of president of the International Golf Federation. During several of the women\u2019s matches, she could clearly be seen wearing a Rolex Yacht-Master. Eagle-eyed viewers also were able to spot that the watch looked a bit worn down, implying that it is likely one of her personal favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
