Although they do all like to talk watches it invariably comes down to how much it cost and how hard it is to buy. I also saw a blinging solid gold Rolex yacht master II which actually looked quite nice in a check-me-out way.
They've got some pretty good #csb about watches though, one guy went on the razz in Monte Carlo after a tournament and woke up without his treasured Hublot and sulked off back to Blighty. A year later he was back playing the same competition and regaled the sob story when someone suggested he go to the local popo station which he did and unbelievably it had been handed in and sat for a year. Only in Monte Carlo.
My favourite is a guy who was skint, got staked a play a tourney, binked it for £30k and like a chump blew most on a watch (can't remember what). It soon developed a problem and had to be sent back to Switzerland from the States and at some point in this transaction it got nicked. Anyway a year later he got a call from the cops on the other side of the country "Did you report so and so watch stolen? We've recovered a Watch matching the serial numbers but its a bit different to your description..."
The police had conviscated it from a drug dealer starting a custodial stretch and when it arrives back finds the guy had encrusted the watch with $100k of diamonds. #mustbenice

Out of curiosity what movement is in them MWC's, can't find the info on their website...?
I work in a Mayfair casino and the number of ridiculous man bracelets I get to see on a daily basis is twisting my noggin. Last night I dealt a high stakes poker game where the players were wearing (in order); AP, VC, AP, Rolex Hulk, Panerai, Breitling, AP, Hysek and finally a fucking Richard Mille. I was rocking my Seiko Lord Marvel 🤘
The Vacheron was a £40k complication and the Hysek I found on Google (stock photos). I could barely tell the time on the Mille, struck me as an aesthetic mess. These people are mostly knobs btw.
