Knowing we were Americans, the jewelry designer asked,” do you know Michael Jordan?” Little did he know MJ has a home in my neighborhood on Lake Norman (outside of Charlotte, NC — he is an owner of the Hornets).

He said he created a ring for Michael Jordan’s second wife. It was a butterfly made with all black diamonds. The ring actually fits on two fingers with a little button on the underside. When wearing the ring, if you rest your hand on a flat surface it depresses the button and the butterfly’s wings close. When you release the button the wings open.

He then brought out the identical ring and put it on my girlfriend — however, this ring was made with both white and black diamonds.

Here’s some pics of my GF and me there, the ring, and my TH Monaco (I was actually wearing it and not a Rolex that day).

In store on second level with ring (you can see Rolex sign behind my GF)

Interesting. Any particular reason you bring this thread back to life after 2 years, to tell TRF that waiters and school girls wear SS and gold Rolex in Monaco? If they have money, why not, they too can buy. Perhaps even buy Bovet if they have the cash.

Yeah... I’m just wondering why the owner of Bovet, Monaco is bringing this back alive . That waiters and school girls wear SS and gold Rolex in Monaco isn’t a public service message I think.
LOL

Mónaco is amazing, I would recommend a visit, the food is amazing and so are the people.

Maybe they already have Rolex. Most people are not collectors of one brand. They diversify when they buy watches. That’s more likely.

Will try and get some photos later. Service wasn’t exactly pleasant however ...

Those Richard Mille watches are ugly, IMHO

This was an exciting thread that I was enjoying until I realized it was from BEFORE COVID.
