    Wow Chris this is an amazing watch story. Gianni Agnelli was also a men’s style icon. Gianni Russo is wearing a watch that once belonged to Gianni Agnelli? My mind is blown. Forget $200K, Chris. I bet Tiffany can get close to Paul Newman Daytona level money for this watch. Again, great story. Good job, Chris.

    I can’t imagine how this guy thinks? I’m baffled. Can you imagine, he must have a lot of time to think up all these plots and crazy twists and turns. A guy gives him a Rolex watch that’s worth about $70 thousand. Here, take my house Russo, here’s the title. I’m gonna sign over my house to you. Take it, it’s yours! He probably saved the guy’s life during the war, that he was never in. People give him watches all the time but refuses because he loves his Rolex. If you got shot 5 times, he got shot 10 times! This guy talking to him is obviously a farmer. Guys from the city know this guy is all B.S.

Don't forget little Anthony, he was great! At the end they all rose and handed me this watch. When I got back home, in New york; I took it to Don the jeweler and he said it was a fugazi . Believe that? I took it to Rick last year and the best he could do was chum Lee.

    Rolex has never and would never put diamonds on the end of links. The bezel looks ok but it's probably not Rolex made, but it looks good. A jeweler could tell how good the diamonds are or how bad. Rolex uses only the best Rolex settings and diamond. If you're going to keep it and never sell it, it doesn't matter. Neal

    I worked with Russo and he told me he met Pablo Escobar in a restaurant in Medellin to settle a murder he committed defending a young female employee at his restaurant State Street in Vegas which also had a small casino license. He said Escobar recognized his fame from the Godfather and fell in love with him. He let him stay the weekend at his house. Then he told the same story over dinner to more guests and said that he met Escobar in a Church in Bogotá and that he invited him to his house but Russo said he was filming a movie and flew back to Miami in fear that he would have been killed at his home.

      @TheoandHarris Před 2 lety +1

      Not only is it not a Cellini (yes it’s a Datejust) but it’s a model that was produced from the late 1970s through the 80s. Also the crown is not original and there’s 0% chance Rolex put that crown on. Finally, it’s always risky to say Rolex never* produced a particular odd variation of something, but i can almost say with certainty that Rolex never manufacturered a president bracelet with diamonds in the side. Bullshit story, bullshit watch…
