Scott W. Rothstein wristwatch collection


Scott W Rothstein wristwatch collection
I like the big one in square shape.


Scott W. Rothstein 262 watches collection


Over the years he amassed a clutch of top name Swiss watches. More watches than anyone could possibly wear. And while there are some duds in his collection there a few good Rolexes including one Paul Newman Daytona, some choice Audemars Piguet’s and Pateks and a Harry Winston. There are several rather vulgar diamond covered tourbillons and sparkly show off watches to bid on too.

For those who don't know,  Scott Rothstein is a crook who pleaded guilty to a $1.2 billion ponzi scheme on January 26, 2010. He is now serving a 50-year sentence in federal prison.

As said by FBI Special Agent in Charge John V. Gillies, "Scott Rothstein used a classic approach to mislead investors---an ostentatious lifestyle, a charismatic personality, and guarantees of sky-high returns-all red flags in the world of Ponzi schemes. It is a lesson for all investors to learn that they need to look beyond the hype."

Bernie Ecclestone Hublot wristwatch

No it's not a montage.  It's actually a real Hublot publicity.  A shock publicity.  An excellent publicity by the way!

The 5'2", 80 years old Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone suffered a black eye when he was attacked by four men outside his London office around 10:30 p.m. on November 25, 2010. His girlfriend was with him at the time. The robbers made off with jewelry – and Mr. Ecclestone’s Hublot wristwatch – together valued at $314,000.

Following the attack, Ecclestone sent a picture of his face along with a short note to Hublot CEO Jean-Claude Biver. The message said: “See what people will do for a Hublot.” Since the two have a great sense of humor, they agreed to make an advert based on the photo and message.

This Hublot ad will be a strictly one-off shot, appearing in today’s Financial Times and International Herald Tribune. The ad shows the unretouched “mugged shot”, along with Bernie Ecclestone’s original commentary. The ad also notes that Hublot does not condone this method of acquiring one of their watches.
