Sheikh Shariif and his Rolex

[Somalia]

 

Using the photo below as reference, the president’s watch is a variation of the Datejust model by the luxury Swiss watch manufacturer Rolex. The closest model to the president’s, which we found for sale on GrayAndSons.com, fetched for $6,000 on the low end, to $50,000 on the high end depending on specifications–and these may have just been the preowned stock.

 

Take a look and ask yourself why the president of cash-strapped Somalia is wearing a watch that costs more than just about any car you will find in the country.

And how much is this one worth too now?

How should we know, we can't see it, I'm just displaying what he's wearing now.

I wonder how many kids his watch could feed, and how he bought it..

This is big upgrade, taasi waa dhab, balse yaan la degdegin, in hadyad loogu keenay baa laga yaabaa...I once met with the president and markii aaan bannaanka u soo baxay inta Soomaali bac hadyad ah la taagan caqligaaga ayaa diidaya....Ninkan Markuu madaxweynaha noqonayey Soomaali badan ayaa jeclayd and I beleive many still do. I still want our Presdient Sharif Sh. Axmed to retire this time though.

Rolex watches are a standard gift from the Arab Sheicks.

What a transformation he has made.
