that looks like a "No" to me. Either way thou shouldn't matter, my assumption is he's made enough money in his life that he would have more than 99.9% off the board members that post here, me included

I think he has worn some iced-out Rolex in the past; but he's mostly a 50mm and up kind of guy

Huge fan. And I don't like much in his genre.

But for certain I've seen him wearing a Rolex in pics, in the past.

Possibly all of us combined (obvious exaggeration for effect, but he's loaded). He's a smart guy, and has invested in himself, his brand, and the guys he has surrounded himself with.

I remember seeing an interview where he said he didn't spring for a Rolex until long after he was well off. He was very hesitant to spend the money. Eminem is not the type to wear jewelry, which was very uncommon during the era he became famous.

Also no, I do not believe that's a Rolex in the first shot.

In the first pic the watch looks like either a Citizen or a Seiko. I'd have guessed Omega Seamaster but the bracelet doesn't look right for Omega.

I've heard that the man is quite conservative in some ways, contrary to his public persona.

Couldn't be any further from the truth, rolex has been worn by just as many iconic hip hop artists as it has professional athletes or businessman... it's a symbol of achievement as it's cream of the crop wristwear... last time I checked " a crown for every achievement" never had any affiliations or stereotypes attached, you make a 100milion selling records or selling bonds it's still 100 million.

Edit:190million

I'm not a big hip hop or rap guy, but I do like a lot of his stuff. He's very talented.

Doesn't look like a Rolex at all to me in that pic though. What made you think it was?

So if someone wears a Rolex they're "affiliated" even if they're not paid to be?

I'd be interested (or disheartened) to see what you feel is the "allowed" demographic for Rolex ownership.

Sure...this very thread is attempting to affiliate / associate Eminem with Rolex by him wearing one, perhaps even owning one..

Why, I don't know because the watch in question doesn't resemble any Rolex that I am familiar with....It looks like a Twisted Metal GShock..

To answer your question..

I would prefer Juicy J or DJ Paul to be wearing a Rolex than Eminem or that Drake character...

Those guys aren't hippity hoppers. They are the real deal.

I bet you didn't see that coming...:)

I like Marshall, but that does not look like a Rolex. Have seen him wear Rolex before. I was watching "the Defiant Ones" last night on HBO. Dre was wearing what I think was a iced out Pearlmaster of some kind.

Eminem is incredibly wealthy, yet lives in a home outside of Detroit that's almost surely below the median cost of a home in California.

The guy is smart with his money.
