Infantry Vintage Gunmetal Chrono - $1895So, we Corum 285-150-20-B100EB40R Men's watch (Ben & Jeff) each grabbed one of the new watches from SA and strapped it on our wrist for a week.We photographed our experiences and documented peoples reactions - reactions that, for the most part, changed dramatically when they heard A) it was a Swiss Army and B) that is cost $2000.Aesthetically, both watches were pleasing enough.Our colleagues within the watch world and those on the outside had no complaints about either watch stylistically.
This watch is an early 90's Rolex Datejust with replica Breitling Windrider Starliner Ladie's watch diamonds on the bezel and face, but what appears to be an original Rolex two-toned jubilee bracelet.This watch is being auctioned off here in New York by art house Philips de Pury & Co.The auction is the first of its kind and is titled "Hip Hop's Crown Jewels".It will also feature some pretty legendary pieces of metal from the likes of some nefarious characters including 50 Cent, Tupac, P.Diddy, and of course Biz Markie.
