Waleed Al Saqabi — watch collection

About Waleed Al Saqabi’s watch collection

Waleed Al Saqabi is a Kuwaiti influencer and communications professional who has built a following through content that sits at the intersection of culture, lifestyle, and considered taste. Based in Kuwait, he operates across social media and the broader Gulf communications landscape, where his output reflects a measured, research-driven sensibility rather than the disposable trend-chasing that characterises much of the influencer space. He is, by most accounts, someone who thinks carefully about the things he puts his name to.

The Waleed Al Saqabi watch collection, as documented so far, centres on a Rolex Datejust 41 in reference 126334 fitted with the 'Wimbledon' dial — a muted, olive-toned, Roman-numeral face that Rolex introduced as part of the broad Datejust 41 overhaul presented at Baselworld. The watch was spotted on his wrist inside what appears to be a specialist watch retailer or horological bookshop, with stacked watch reference books visible on the shelves behind him. The setting is telling: Al Saqabi was photographed not posing with the watch but leafing through a serious horological compendium, which suggests a collector who reads the literature and knows the reference numbers rather than someone who acquired the piece for its logo alone.

One watch in our database is a modest count, but the choice of reference is not a modest one. The Datejust 41 'Wimbledon' on a jubilee bracelet occupies an interesting position in the Rolex catalogue — familiar enough to be wearable daily, specific enough in its dial configuration to signal that the wearer did their homework. For a communications professional whose public identity is built on credibility and discernment, it is a coherent choice. We will continue tracking Al Saqabi's wrist as more sightings emerge.
