Alan Sugar's Watches.

A terribly written article on Alan Sugars Rolex collection.

Haha worse than I thought, I only scanned over it before. The headline piece they are referring to be "up to £90,000" is a BLNR.

I suspect this is the case, it looks like it was written in 5 minutes by a 12 year old.

The first picture isn't even showing the correct Daytona.

He is wearing a 116500LN but the picture is a 116520.

Not many rights in that article.

Lord Sugar has an impressive Rolex collection. He's also seen with Platona and many others. He also wore others for example a rectangular probably non-Rolex watch, perhaps a PP Gondolo.

Funny thinking he might be browsing TRF asking for buying or "is it safe" advice like the rest of us

He's also into his high-end road bikes and has a tweet-relationship with Cav...

Lol, yes its the wrong Daytona and does he not have the Blue SkyDweller and not the Black.
Top piece of reporting journalism from one of the Britains best.

Actually if you read the comments below it gives a good "mixed" indication of the publics view of luxury items.

Yes I thought it looked like the blue Skydweller and not the black but couldn't say for certain from that picture.
