Yo, what’s up, everyone? It’s your boy back again, ready to share another one of my little adventures. This time, it’s all about how I got into 2Pac’s style, specifically his love for those shiny Rolex watches. You know, I’ve always been a huge fan of 2Pac, not just his music but the whole vibe he had going on. The dude was iconic, and his style was a big part of that. I mean, who hasn’t seen that picture of him, all cool and confident, rocking a Rolex?
So, I started digging into it. Turns out, back in ’93, on October 12th, 2Pac copped his first Rolex. Only set him back 20 bucks, from what I read somewhere! It got me thinking, “If 2Pac was all about Rolex, there must be something to it, right?” So then I went on a deep dive, trying to find out everything I could about 2Pac’s watches.
I learned that his collection wasn’t just about those high-end Rolex watches, he had some G-Shocks in there too. Dude had variety, just like his music. Different styles for different moods, you know? I started browsing, looking at all these different models, imagining what it would be like to wear a watch that 2Pac himself might’ve worn.
My Rolex Hunt
Then there’s this one watch, a 36mm Rolex Day-Date, with a green dial, baguette-cut diamonds for hour markers, and a diamond bezel, all on a presidential bracelet. I saw a picture of 2Pac wearing something similar, and man, it looked fly. Apparently, that kind of watch today goes for around 80 grand! And let me tell you, it looked every bit worth it. But I am not a millionaire so I can not have that watch right now.
This whole thing, it’s more than just about the watches. It’s about connecting with an era, with the style and the mindset of someone who was a legend. I read somewhere that one of 2Pac’s rings sold for over a million bucks at an auction – can you believe that? It just shows how much influence the guy still has, even years after he’s gone. So I continued my search, not just for a watch, but for a piece of that history, a connection to the man and his music.
I browsed through online stores, checked out some local shops, just trying to find that perfect Rolex. And I found it. It was not the exact same one that 2Pac wore, but it was one that he wore and was similar in style and had that same vibe. It was the feeling of wearing a piece of history that got me hooked. Every time I wear it, I’m reminded of 2Pac, his music, and his impact on the world. I felt like I was carrying a piece of his legacy with me. That’s what I wanted. And trust me, it was worth every penny.

So that’s my 2Pac Rolex story, folks. It was a journey, a bit of a treasure hunt, and a whole lot of fun. It’s not every day you get to feel this connected to your idols. Hope you enjoyed the ride. Peace out!
