Unemployed Charlie Sheen's Over $700,000 Patek Philippe Ref. 2438/1 Watch
Yesterday, March 1st, 2011 Charlie Sheen joined Twitter. I don't know if this was his first soiree on the site, but in less than 24 hours he had almost 650,000 followers. Amazing. In his third tweet Charlie wrote "The only watch that keeps Warlock time - Class of 1927 ring "Bambino U" Following this was a twitpic of his wrist wearing a watch and a ring on his ringer. But we don't care about the ring. Actually, the ring is pretty cool. It is Babe Ruth's 1927 World Series ring. The one he got after his season setting a home run record. And now it is on Charlie's wrist - a good luck fortune? Doesn't seem to be working as advertised."Warlock time" refers to the statement Charlie made on The Today Show on Feb. 28th, 2011. Calling himself a "warlock." No idea what that means really, but have enough chemicals in your system and you too will be casting spells just to use the toilet properly. In all his drugged out days Sheen has never lost faith or interest in his other vice, watches - more sp

15300ST vs. 15202ST Jumbo (blue vs. blue)
So, I have to admit that I am a complete embarrassment and a fool that I had no clue about the Royal Oak and ROC line until 2017 (And I call myself a watch collector??). After seeing my boy Howie's 26300 blue, I was completely mesmerized by the case, super fine details, the gorgeous blue and was just blown away. While I am a few years late to the party, it is better late than never. I was lucky enough to source both 15300St and 15202 Jumbo and wow... they are just superb pieces and so enjoyable in their own ways. I probably will wear both for a while and see which one jives better and stays. So far, I prefer the thickness and bracelet of 15300 but the darker shade of blue on the 15202 dial is just absolutely sexy. Yes, the cal 2121 movement is awesome to check out too.2 new (late) entrants into the collection that have pushed all the Rolex aside and yes, blue is the new black
