Welcome to the forum. Word of advice, get your watch knowledge here, not from rap songs.

It mostly refers to Patek. Hard to score Patek models can be 100x harder to score from Tiffany. If you get it from Tiffany it says Tiffany on the dial. The value is much higher.

Yes yes aware of the very rare dials. Just want to confirm from the community that there is no such thing as a tiffany bezel, and only dials. Thank you guys!

I believe he might be referring to the bezel of a ring or jewellery as I do not know of any Tiffany stamped watch bezels from Patek. Only dials as you say :)

Either this or he is just wrong. Wouldn't be the first time that rap lyrics make no sense.

Thanks.

That seems to be my reputation around the institution too, oddly enough.

He raps about luxury brands, its in the open discussion forum... seems appropriate.

Back in like 2012 a vintage Rolex Oyster manual wind with a Cartier dial ended up on ebay, I went up to $4000 which I thought was ridiculous, it sold for a bit over. Not too long after it ended back up for sale for $35k and Drake ended up buying it lol 😆

So I had to go back into my Canadian language translation manual and think I may have found the issue.

It's rap, it's supposed to rhyme....sort of.

The level is just too advanced
The bezel is Tiffany stamped
No grip on my hand
I know that I came with a slide from left to right but now I don’t wanna dance

If he used the word dial, then the entire meaning of the work would have been destroyed and fallen along the forgotten wayside of lyrical hell.

Let's face it, he's no Lin Manuel Miranda. Hamilton had 20,000 words and about 144 a minute and they actually rhymed.

"The level is too advanced, the dial is Tiffany stamped" could've been a Simile referring to his dial face as well as a "dial" measuring his advanced level.


But after reading the lyrics to this trash I feel infuriated, dumber and a little upset I've devoted time to this thread.




"Prada and Gucci it don’t go together
Louis and Dior, I swear it go better
He wear my drip, but I wear it better"


Smiley:"What rhymes with better?"

Drake:"Better?"

Smiley:"you so fire brah can't believe i didn't think of that, let's drop this shit!"

Hey, atleast if I was on the radio you could turn me off. a feature I'm sure many would find useful



The rappers i listen to aren't any better FWIW. My favorite rap album was Dr Dre the chronic/2001. I don't think there's a version of dre day appropriate enough to play on air

I have no idea what today’s rappers, or Drake are rapping about. Nor could I understand them.

“Tiffany” stamped on a bezel would look pretty tacky I’m my opinion.

That emerald one was made for him by Virgil Abloh and I’m sure it will go down as a important piece historical as Virgil did not do too many watches. Gone too soon.
