Godfather Actor Gianni Russo and HIS Rolex Story

[@derekjlight]

The diamonds in the side of the band are amazing.

[@bretthermance52]

(After watching full video) Excellent meeting, Christopher!! Gianni: "Don't run away with it". (after Chris does, can't resist) Gianni; "Boys, just don't break the limb that the watch is on" 😄

[@alextop1850]

I've never seen the diamond in the side links on strap from Rolex was that factory?

[@eyesofascension8678]

Chris has gone from being BitterPoetMadman drinking Four Lokos and 40oz malt liquor to interviewing legendary actors from iconic films. You've come a long way man.

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

Wow Chris this is an amazing watch story. Gianni Agnelli was also a men’s style icon. Gianni Russo is wearing a watch that once belonged to Gianni Agnelli? My mind is blown. Forget $200K, Chris. I bet Tiffany can get close to Paul Newman Daytona level money for this watch. Again, great story. Good job, Chris.

[@tylershuff3283]

His personal one... yes just that reference no be about 300k

[@juju-nl9te]

you dont know what you are saying

[@tml184]

It's all bullshit.

He is a great story teller . Rolex will never do any work or service is anything has been changed bezel dial bracelet if changed they if anything has been changed let alone offer money for it. Nice guy. Neal

Damn Gianni Russo has diamonds in his watch b4 it ever became cool to have a diamond watch...b4 the 70s and 80s...b4 any rapper or musicians....hes had that watch for 60 years....this man is the definition of class!!

He says Mr. Agnelli gave him the watch. Then at the end he said he bought it for himself on his 18th birthday. Well, which is it? My guess is neither.

Lies. Why would Agnelli give his watch to some 14 yr old kid he didn't know?

I’m a close personal friend of Mr. Russo, he never lies! The most kind, loving and inspirational person I have ever know. God bless✌️

What mm is this watch?

[@odeed]

This is great.

[@Suzyfromtheblock]

Beautiful that watch ❤

[@ToMaToEsGrOw]

I went there and to my surprise, the whole commission was there! We had a party. Believe it or not Marilyn Monroe was there stripping as the bands played live. The four tops and temptations too. Don't forget little Anthony, he was great! At the end they all rose and handed me this watch. When I got back home, in New york; I took it to Don the jeweler and he said it was a fugazi . Believe that? I took it to Rick last year and the best he could do was chum Lee.

[@nightowl5475]

I can’t imagine how this guy thinks? I’m baffled. Can you imagine, he must have a lot of time to think up all these plots and crazy twists and turns. A guy gives him a Rolex watch that’s worth about $70 thousand. Here, take my house Russo, here’s the title. I’m gonna sign over my house to you. Take it, it’s yours! He probably saved the guy’s life during the war, that he was never in. People give him watches all the time but refuses because he loves his Rolex. If you got shot 5 times, he got shot 10 times! This guy talking to him is obviously a farmer. Guys from the city know this guy is all B.S.

[@tml184]

He was 14 and did all that to get the watch. No chance.

[@tml184]

So true. He was 14 when he went to Switzerland to get the watch? Laughable.

[@yksikaksikolmen]

The same watch i had on Apollo 19

[@BAB00215]

Is the watch real?

[@kevinconnor3187]

That’s really cool with the diamonds on the side. He was great in GodFather.

[@brandondrew1257]

You have no idea how real his stories are I have researched 90% of what he says and have not been able to find falt yet it's blew my mind because I thought so too at first but the sob is the real deal

@@brandondrew1257 No chance. So many lies and all his time lines are way off. He went to Grace Kelly's wedding when he was 12? Hahahahahaha. He dated her at 10? LOL

Everybody trashing his stories but has anyone ever disproven any of them?

[@tacolover274]

Awesome episode great story great watch great actor under rated for sure

[@b.neallee7042]

Rolex has never and would never put diamonds on the end of links. The bezel looks ok but it's probably not Rolex made, but it looks good. A jeweler could tell how good the diamonds are or how bad. Rolex uses only the best Rolex settings and diamond. If you're going to keep it and never sell it, it doesn't matter. Neal

Did he just say he cant read or write??? Wow and he still because successful...thats motivation man

[@scottbrandon6244]

Is that a Rolex Cellini? Up close it looks like a Rolex Date Just.

[@TheoandHarris]

Not only is it not a Cellini (yes it’s a Datejust) but it’s a model that was produced from the late 1970s through the 80s. Also the crown is not original and there’s 0% chance Rolex put that crown on. Finally, it’s always risky to say Rolex never* produced a particular odd variation of something, but i can almost say with certainty that Rolex never manufacturered a president bracelet with diamonds in the side. Bullshit story, bullshit watch…

[@scottbrandon6244]

@@TheoandHarris I think this was the guy who also said he had an affair with Marilyn Monroe.

Paul newman had a rolex daytona and i believe that watch is named after him .

[@gatorshd]

Awesome

[@pjuggle]

I worked with Russo and he told me he met Pablo Escobar in a restaurant in Medellin to settle a murder he committed defending a young female employee at his restaurant State Street in Vegas which also had a small casino license. He said Escobar recognized his fame from the Godfather and fell in love with him. He let him stay the weekend at his house. Then he told the same story over dinner to more guests and said that he met Escobar in a Church in Bogotá and that he invited him to his house but Russo said he was filming a movie and flew back to Miami in fear that he would have been killed at his home.

[@energyasylum997]

@8:52 Russo saying: “Paul Newmans strap-on, rod and two balls.” Woah , Russo speaking candidly about the late actors toy?!! Jk, just for a little laughter, folks. 🙏🏼😂✊🏾🤘🏼👍🏼👌🏽✌🏽

[@alextop1850]

So Rolex made that as a one off?

[@alextop1850]

?

[@derekjlight]

Just FYI for anyone doubting this story. I watched the Gianni Agnelli documentary and after seeing it, I absolutely believe Mr. Agnelli would do this. The family has billions of dollars and he was a real Playboy and socialite.

[@tml184]

Problem is Russo was 14 at the time and it just didn't happen.

[@tml184]

Another lie: He says he went to the 6th grade. Impossible since he claims that he was in hospital from age 6 to 12 and didn't go to school. He has a grade 1 education actually. Never went to school.
