The haul included a $30,000 watch, a $20,000 ring, a necklace valued at $5,000, earrings priced at $4,000 and a Prada belt valued at $1,000, police said.

Can someone tell me what brand of watch costs $30K? I don't think a Rolex is anywhere near this expensive. And as for the earings and the Prada belt, let's just say he was at the wrong party's convention.

Unless it is antique... the kind that has matching and registered serial numbers on all pieces... and prolly rfid.

Good luck fencing that one!

According to this website, $30,000 is about right for a Rolex.

The guy might be rich, but he sure is stupid. Must’ve inherited his money. LOL

In the world of expensive watches, Rolex is a cheap brand. And you can definitely find a Rolex for $30,000. But if you want something more expensive, take a look at Breguet, for example.

Ulysses Nardine and some other obscure top brands cost that much. Not that I know anyone who owns such a thing. For a young man to own something like that is a waste of money.

Bizarre. He doesnt sound like the Republicans I know.

If you go to ebay...search Rolex under jewelry and watches then order them highest price first...I found a platinum with diamonds Rolex starting at 69K and the seller says the retail price was $103,000. What you are paying for is the perceived jewelry value and the brand name status of Rolex. A cheap Timex quartz watch probably keeps more accurate time.

Now, here is a watch just a few bucks shy of 700K

And this guy loses a cheap old Rolex. This guy is dumber than dumb. "Go get undressed, honey, while I mix the drinks". ROFLMAO

Probably a designer watch like Patek Phillipe. We are talking watches that are essentially high end jewelry that just happens to be a watch.
