Can't afford the watches I want, so I just never bought one. I'm in love with the Omega Aqua Terra and the Bulgari Diagono. I've gotten pretty used to looking at my cell for the time.

If you're a true baller, you never wear a watch. You just pay someone to follow you around and everytime you want to know what time it is, you simply ask them

maybe even more....

if you're not planning on selling it, i wouldn't re-do anything.

and wear and tear is, well, normal.

i'd just leave it alone.
