Here’s a shot of Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa at the White House yesterday. She’s wearing a men’s watch called the “Rolex Oyster Special Edition Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona Leopard Mens Watch 116598-SE.”
(On this week’s edition of Pawn Stars, Chumlee meets Vanessa … )
It retails for $51,000, but a quick jaunt to the Univ. of Oregon campus might just yield a more palatable price it appears to be available slightly cheaper on some other websites. (Yeah, good to know.)
The watch has 48 diamonds, 36 sapphires along with a leopard-printed face and band. (Design reportedly inspired by Otter’s private abode in National Lampoon’s Animal House.)
Here’s one thoughtful critique of the watch from esteemed Amazon.com reviewer J.Gonzalez.
“Are you on crack or what? This watch is so nasty I prefer to use a watch from a cereal box. I can’t believe a company like Rolex took the time to make this watch. Probably it was designed by the brainless daughter of the owner of the company. They have to pay me $50k to wear that thing. People will laugh at you if you pull that out. I rather look the stars and verify the position of the sun to tell me the time than looking that hideous thing on my wrist. Go take your 50k, buy yourself a nicer rolex and go on vacation.”
In recognition of Ms. Bryant’s purchase, I prefer to view the fact that she met her multi-millionaire NBA superstar husband as a 17-year-old girl living in a lower middle-class suburb of Orange County as complete coincidence.

Are you serious dude?, if I had 51K for a watch I would use the money to get my house out of foreclosure.
so its an ugly watch, a Bugatti is an ugly car and all Picasso’s are an ugly piece of art,…but what it has in common…. is stuff i’ll never own and stuff I cant afford.
she’s at the white house with an ugly watch
im in a cubicle with no watch

Ummmm, the price for that watch is considerably higher at an actual in store retailer for Rolex, off the top of my head I want to say $75,000 plus. I doubt Mrs. Kobe is buying her gear on ebay or other shady online stores.

She’s got a $51,000 watch, and she’s using a $51 Vivitar digital camera she got at Walgreen’s. LOL

Hardly compares to my $11 million Patek Phillipe Supercomplication.
Ok, I’m dreaming.. but Patek Philippe puts all these pretenders to shame.. They look a whole lot better too.

well, i’d like to comment on the review by the supposed respected amazon person.
he said one had to be on crack to wear such a watch
he also said he’d prefer to wear a watch from a cereal box..
again he alluded to the fact that ultimately, only a brainless person would wear such a laughable hedious piece..
alas he comes out of the closet of bitterness and dissatisfaction and confesses that he would wear this same piece which he has so generously qualified, if he is paid 50k..
however there is a problem: firstly, he is prepared to be all those things he said above in exchange for 50k +having to put the allergedly ghastly watch on; and secondly, he’s also prepared to wear this watch for less than it’s actually worth{51k}!!!
who knows what this man will do if he’s giving 1million dollars?!
go figure*

i meant to say …if he’s ‘given’ 1 million dollars

Forget the watch. Watch two gals if your eyes can handle the assault. Watch TV star and step-daughter of Kojak Nicolette Sheridan, as she simultaneously portrayed Edie Britt in Desperate Housewives and also did her thing as porn star Nicole Sheridan on the tennis court then. For now, watch porn star Vanessa Lane move from playing naked tennis and scenes which manifested her ability to point her butt to the stars, now moving to a possible TV future. Just try Google with the word “tennis” on the same line with each name on separate internet options.

Who cares if Mrs. Bryant is wearing a watch that costs 51K. Their family can afford it. Her husband has worked hard & is a very talented NBA star who is paid well. He provides for his family is a very nice way & he has earned it. Instead of worrying about them, take the time to see how you can upgrade your life or lifestyle. We live in a America & if you are willing to make the necessary sacrifices you can succeed in whatever you are good at. Enough said……..oh & Mrs. Bryant is NOT white. She is a Latin woman
