pollux1 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 As the topic's title suggests, is there any info on watches worn by INfamous people? I'm sure most of us have an idea what movie stars wear which brand, and was just wondering what the maniacs in the world like to wear!

A small brand that still exists but have taken a downfall in exclusivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
