Platinum Dreams: MJ on a Rolex That's Rarer Than a Loss to the Pistons

Is it better than gold?

Alright alright hold your horses. I hear there's this platinum Rolex Daytona hitting the auction block at Sotheby's. Platinum folks! We're not talking about just any watch here. This bad boy is custom made and rarer than seeing me miss a game winning shot. And diamonds? Come on. I love diamonds. A subtle flex.

Secret's Out or is it?

They're saying only four of these exist. Four! That's fewer rings than I should have had thanks to those pesky Pistons. But seriously a Rolex commission? That's like asking Phil Jackson to run a play for someone other than yours truly. Unheard of! This Patrick Heiniger guy CEO back in the day sounds like he knew how to keep a secret. Was he better than me? No but he knew how to build a brand.

Rumor Has It…

Now there are rumors swirling that Heiniger might have rocked one of these platinum beauties himself. They say he loved platinum Day Dates. I mean who doesn't? But no proof? Sounds like typical gossip. I've heard more believable stories about my 'flu game' than this. Either way its a good story just a myth.

Zenith the Zenith Daytona!

1999 and Platinum? Before they even publicly released platinum models? That's like practicing my fadeaway in secret before unleashing it on the world. Pure genius! This one's extra special though. Diamond set dial? Psh obviously! And this is the only diamond one in its lineage. It is an investment!

Ballin' on a Budget... Not Really

So why all the hype? These rare watches are becoming investments now. And they say it jumped 125% in value in the last decade! I knew I was on to something when I invested in watches! Sounds like watches are doing good. Maybe I should sell some of my watches and get a new car?

Game Changer

More international buyers and younger collectors entering the market. Everyone wants a piece of history. And now a piece of the future. They all wanna be like Mike but now they also wanna tell time like Mike. Smart move I gotta say.
