Drake’s Signature Rolex Isn’t His

A Manhattan Lawyer by the name of James McMillian isn’t a very happy man and it appears that Drake is partially responsible for that. McMillian purchased a brand new rose-gold Rolex Presidental with a diamond bezel in 2009 from West 47th Street Rafaello & Co. If you don’t know much about Rolex, check out rolex history to learn a little more. The watch carried a price tag of about $30,000. McMillian wore the watch for two years until he brought it to the store from which it was purchased to be cleaned. Many celebs purchased including Alicia Keys, Jamie Foxx and Carmelo Anthony have their jewels serviced at jeweler which further convinced McMillian that they could be trusted with his valuables. The services that were being done to the watch were supposed to be completed a week later, however when he returned, the watch was missing. McMillian was told that the store owner, Rafael Aranbayev “loved the Rolex so much he was now wearing it as his own personal watch.” This worried the attorney, but he was assured that it would be available for him to pick up during the following week. People are often wondering how to sell your watch online, and the Rolex is a popular choice, so the concerns seemed justified. Contrary to prior discussions, the watch was not there when he returned. McMillian was then given a Franck Muller watch valued from $30,000 to $180,000 in place of his missing Rolex, but he was also told that a replacement Rolex would be issued to him. It was discovered that his convented watch was now the newest possession of the Candanian rapper Drake. McMillian’s watch had been sold to Drake once it had been cleaned. It is the timepiece that he is wearing on the Take Care Cover seen above. However, an attorney for the jewelry store seems to think that the actions of the store are justified. “I believe the allegations in this lawsuit will be proven to be without merit,” Mark Rosenfeld said.
