I wonder what those infamous Jacob watches are going for today?

Too damn much,weren't worth no more than 100 bucks even with those bad diamonds

 

[Hey Julian!]

Too damn much,weren't worth no more than 100 bucks even with those bad diamonds

Yeah, back then I remember it was some hip-hop shit and Jacob watch didn't really have the cache of Rolex, but 20 years later it's not in the iconic status. I'd bet they will appreciate especially if you have one certified owned by a celebrity. It's crazy for me to look back and think that shit from that era is now vintage. Damn, I feel old.
