$8300 apiece? Some of those diamond bezeled gold ones might need some scrutiny

Oh, it's "The Game" very talented rapper. Initially signed with G Unit and is soon to be with Lil Wayne. I enjoy his lyrics and that was a very nice gesture. I've been around a few high and extremely low profile music individuals and fashion is everything. In a way it's expected and knowing him it is erg likely he had personal accountants handle the purchase ensuring a discount was acquired. Wish I was a friend

each one setting him back about $8,300.
How can the reporter simply divide the total sum by 12 and publish that figure! There seem to be some YG DD in the pics which would be much more than $8k+ each.

Hmmm, hate to ask but ...

Second pic, lower, left corner, is that a day-date? On tt bracelet?

I hope it's bad lighting.

If all of those watches are real, no way it will only set him back 100k.

I want to know the store where you can get a "brand new" day-date with a diamond dial and diamond bezel for 8.300 dollars....

I also thought he was buying 50 Rolex's...
