Watches and BLING....

Hello.

This thread might not be for everyone, but I remember some watch threads and just thought I'd share some picts of my watches.

Sometimes people loosely used the term "BLING" to define nice watches they have.

Just to note that "BLING" refers to anything that is diamond encrusted. An all alloy watch isn't really "BLING".

With that being said, here are some pictures of some of my watches and other pictures of some "bling" watches and bracelets. (My bracelets are custom pieces created by jeweler Chris Aire and Johnny the jeweler).

My watches were bought in San Francisco Centre and some in Hawaii's Ala Moana Mall.

Here are some of the "bling" bracelets that I'd like to share

I really enjoy being able to switch between suits/ties, being very clean/formal, and then the following day being casual w/cashmere, button shirts, jeans, and dress shoes, and then going very urban w/my blingy chains/necklaces and af1s. The versatility and being able to pull off the different looks is what makes it fun. SOMETIMES, I'll slip the "bling" on when I wear my suits as I got to work at the mutual fund company. It definitely opens some eyes there!

The following pieces are from Chris Aire. Chris is only available to make pieces by special appointment only.
Chris supplies custom jewelry to hip hop stars 50cent, and other celebs Muhammad Ali, Clint Eastwood, Jamie Foxx and many others.

I've visited him quite a bit on my jaunts to Los Angeles. He will definitely be the guy who makes my wedding band(which I'm considering in red gold).

Here is the iced red gold jagged bracelet from Chris

Prince cut diamond necklace from Chris

The following pieces are from Johnny the Jeweler in Houston, Tx.
He makes very elaborate pieces for many hip hop stars like Nelly, Mike Jones, Slim thug, etc.

Here is the big bracelet

Here is the mid bracelet from Johnny.

Here is the famous herringbone diamond necklace from johnny in white/canary alternating patches.

I actually know some mutual fund managers who own grillz =)


I DO have a patek phillipe watch, but didn't think it would fit in w/this list of pictures =)

Just as I mentioned in my other thread....come on guys..

I don't mind criticism at all. I think Honesty is GReat...no matter how negative/positive.
Let me know what you think in all it's glory.

Thus the rationale behind my inquiry as to whether or not these are replicas.

I think if you pawned all of those watches and all of those cz's you'd have just enough $$ for a fake zegna suit

The bracelet on that day-date looks really odd. Maybe a fake? Hard to tell from the blurry pictures.

My two blinged-out watches, both from the 70s:

Both are real. I also have several other 14k-18k solid gold watches, which I also consider bling.
