Jacob & Co. Lord Of The Bling Dances His Way Into Jail; No, Not For Selling Fugly Watches
Tragedy ensues in many communities as watch maker and jeweler Jacob & Co. founder Jacob Arabov will be sent to prison for 30 months. The crime was essentially laundering drug money and lying to law enforcement while providing false documents. Arabov's organized crime client "The Black Mafia Family" (this is what they are called and I am not sure if it is a literal statement, but I feel bad for their lack of creativity if it is) seemed to entrust "Jacob the Jeweler" with lots of drug money. Naturally, you'd give illicit money to the jeweler to entrust right? He'll just put your money into high yield precious gems. Arabov did anyone would do, defer to a big client when 100s of millions of dollars are at stake. I honestly feel bad for the guy, stuck between a rock (diamond) and a hard place (more diamonds).

A Day To Remember
Hello, I Just feel I have to share this with all you Omega lovers/collectors.Yesterday I visited the Omega Boutique in Regent Street London. I had the time of my life. The assitant who dealt with me named Ali was so helpful, knowlegible and never pushy. He showed what I the watch I wanted to see over coffee (Aqua Terra Red Gold GMT on an Allogator strap) then When I said I would like to see around the 2 floors of Omega watches they have there, he gave me the personnel tour. I saw some really awesome watches, the likes will never be in seen in my AD in Bristol. I saw all the Museum pieces, limited addition pieces and tried on the Platinum Speedmaster with one Gold sub-dial. ��65,000 worth of lottery winning money on my wrist. What an absolutely beautiful watch this is. They even have watches there that My AD cannot get yet (new Speedmaster 2 sub-dail chrono,) which I have on order in Bristol but still has not arrived, I tried it on of course and was love with it immediately it, It is a
