I personally find them to be very ugly but if you got the money and like the look, go for it

Never owned one and probably never will, they're not really my type. Are you considering one? What model would it be?

Some of the old ones are kind of funky looking, in a good way, but mostly they are crap.
Plus I'm pretty sure Jacob, the owner, is associated with some pretty shady mafia-type people from the middle-east. |

used to like them when I was a lot more younger but not anymore really.. but also I wouldn't describe as ugly though!
point is, there are SO many other ways (brands) to spend my money. |

my opinion is they are for the person that needs people to notice them and that many diamonds on an SS watch doesnt make sense to me which is what most of his watches are. Also I am not sure of their movement but rest assured for the money they cost, you can find a truely classic Rolex

Beach when I bought my wife's engagement ring, Jacob was operating a little booth next to my jeweler in the diamond district. Every time i was there, there was always a hip hop star or basketball player at his booth. I was always surprised how big he got but still only had a booth. Not long after, he had his full blown boutique on 57th st.
He was convicted on money laundering charges for not reporting cash purchases to the IRS and went to jail. It I beleive he is out now |
