CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - January 13, 2009) - Watches: In a recent entry in the Rolex Forums, Chris in Melbourne reported on his encounter with Flavor Flav in Australia. Taking a break from his hit television show "Flavor of Love" where women compete to be the next Mrs. Flavor Flav, the extravagant rapper who wears a series of huge clocks around his neck was touring with Public Enemy. Known for contributing the hit song "Fight the Power" to Spike Lee's iconic film "Do The Right Thing," Public Enemy was the cornerstone of politically conscious rap in the 1990s. The band became so famous that action figures of Flavor Flav and Chuck D were sold. Chris in Melbourne clearly understood that Flavor Flav needed to complement the clock hanging from his neck with a Rolex luxury watch on his wrist.

In his description of the encounter, Chris wrote: "While waiting (at the Melbourne airport), I noticed a group of young men (who obviously weren't from these parts). Well, I've never seen so much 'bling' on a bunch of blokes in all my life! I noticed one guy wearing a clock (running an hour fast) around his neck. It was the US band Public Enemy… most of the guys in the group were wearing some pretty flashy watches including some that appeared almost totally covered in 'ice'. The pick of the bunch for me however, was an 18 Ct Yellow Gold Rolex Daytona on a honey colored strap that really caught my eye."
In Yahoo Answers, when asked why does Flavor Flav wear that clock, the winning answer was, "He said that he wears it because time is the most important element in our lives so he wears it to represent that belief." Another popular answer was, "The man is reportedly worth 90 million dollars. You'd think he would buy a Rolex!" On the respected music blog site Grits And Porgies, the blogger provided a more philosophical perspective by commenting: "To the untrained eye Flavor Flav may have looked like your typical rapper, sweat suit, sunglasses, gold teeth, and sneakers. But instead of sporting Rolex watches and jewelry, Flavor Flav decided it would be more fashionable to wear giant clocks around his neck." Nevertheless, even if Flavor Flav keeps the clock hanging, he still needs the precision and quality of a Rolex on his wrist. So what kind of Rolex should the rapper acquire?
On the Melrose Jewelers site, there is a Men's Rolex Day Date Super Presidential watch with just the perfect mix of philosophical precision and beautiful bling to meet the needs of Flavor Flav. In 18k yellow gold, the luxury watch has a custom champagne diamond dial with eight round and two baguette cut diamonds. The Rolex Super President is a name given to the Men's Rolex Day Date Presidential with both "Pave" diamond band and diamond lugs in addition to the classic diamond dial and diamond bezel. New "Super" Presidential models as issued by the Rolex factory are very rare. Wearing such a watch is nothing less than remarkable, making the luxury model a perfect fit for a remarkable man like Flavor Flav. After all, such a talented performer needs not only to have a clock around his neck, but also a Rolex Day Date Super Presidential watch on his wrist.
