LeBron James Goes To Miami: Makes Enemies With Clevelanders & Friends With Audemars Piguet

On the off-chance you're not a sports fan, LeBron James announced last night, in a preposterously self-centered, 1-hour special on ESPN, that he would indeed be leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers and in fact be joining his homies Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade in Miami. Do we, as horologically centered New Yorkers, really care? Not really. If he had come to the Knicks or the Nets, sure, we'd welcome him, but he didn't, so this post is all about BronBron's wristwear choice.
The guy did choose a pretty great watch to don during such an announcement. LeBron was wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Volcano, a limited watch that retails for about $21,000.
We wonder if maybe his buddy Jay-Z has anything to do with his love for AP. After all, the Jigga man has his own watch with Audemars and even donated an AP Tourbillon to charity, which ended up selling to this guy for about $220,000.
So, love him or hate him, respect or despise his decision, you have to give the guy his dues for at least wearing a nice watch.
