On May 14, 2020, Diamond Platnumz posted a picture of himself wearing a watch that sparked a lot of attention, with many people commenting on its high price tag of KES 300 million (USD 300,000).
While it's no surprise that Diamond Platnumz can afford such an expensive watch, given his luxurious lifestyle and wealth, a closer look at the watch revealed that it's actually an imitation of the original Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Massa Red Demon.
According to Kiss100, which dove deep into the features of Diamond's watch, several key differences were found. The outline of the crown on Diamond's watch is black, whereas it should be red. The date window is also divided, which is not the case for the original watch. Additionally, the screws are deep in the bezel, and the right sub-dial indicator is different from the original Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Massa Red Demon.
It's worth noting that the original Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Massa Red Demon is a rare and limited-edition watch, with only a few celebrities such as Drake, Davido, Jay Z, and Lebron James having been spotted wearing it.
