Yeah I would get this sometimes from the retiring nikkas that act like they couldnt remember who I was or competent for the position…

I was cool with it though. Didnt want people to know me yet, I was still learning.

It is very much passive Aggressive disrespect. For a random jeweler to know a C-List rapper he’s never sold to? Stretch that he should know you like that

Just to be clear, I'm not acting like I would crash out if I was 42dugg

I would just correct someone right then and there. It don't take much.

I'm Nigerian, my last name isn't "easy" to pronounce. But when people play around and act stupid like it has 100 syllables or some ticks or some shyt like that, I check it immediately.

the jeweler wasn't lying, 55's a ridiculous price for the anniversary prezi :manny:

here's one which sold for 49 or less today: FS: Rolex Day-Date 40 Rose Gold 228235 Olive Dial - Rolex Forums

and the margins on watches really are thin for grey market dealers, to the point it's made credit card sales unheard of. the authorized rolex dealer who sold them to dugg got to eat tho, their margin's 37.5%.
This.

Just from watching youtube videos of grey market watch deals, the dealers never pay out retail

Our ancestors did not fight and die for our liberty just for their descendants to willingly buy our chains BACK from these devils the second they make it. :snoop:

I'd get my lab diamonds (not moissanite)from China if I was rich over some jeweler who's trying to rip you off.

I saw a video of a young rapper spending 50k on a stainless steel, bust down, datejust 41. That profit margins alone is insane. Jeweller buys a used one for 10 - 15k,floods it with stones. Sells it to a rapper for like 45 to 50k.

Crazy the jeweler is basically telling him diamonds are worthless when explaining the value of plain janes vs bust downs
The fact these bedazzled pieces never appreciate in value, dude basically told him I don't care what you paid I'm not about to eat that lost
So many red flags. The whole global diamond trade is obviously a finesse but the way it manifest itself with rappers is especially crazy

That's why I don't understand why more mfs don't do the all gold like Nip & a few others without doing 2 much 2 it

it's easy to fleece a customer with smth like that cause then they gotta be plugged into the diamond market, have an eye for them, know the value of custom work, etc..... and someone like that isn't the customer base for a blown out dj anyway

when dugg's walking into the store with two pieces as commoditized as the anniversary and chocolate prezis, there's no excuse for not knowing what they're going for and making an offer which exposed him as a lick :pachaha:
