This past weekend I ran into so many ballers in Atlanta. I guess I just happened to be in the right places at the right times.
A few of the ballers I can’t even name because they roll so quietly in the ATL. You would never know these men were ballin’ unless you saw them step out of their Bentley’s or Phantoms — or unless you have a good eye for fine timepieces.
One of the men — who happens to be a friend of mine — knows that I love fine watches. So he brought out his impressive collection of timepieces. I marveled at the APs (Audemars Piguet) and Hublot’s he had in just one case of his large collection (pictured at right).
AP and Hublot are the favored watches of many wealthy stars such as T.I., Jay Z and LeBron James, among others. My friend’s watch collection also contains several pieces from the Aximum line, which is owned by every celebrity and ball player in the world! His collection ranges from $50,000 to well over $200,000 for just one timepiece!
You might recognize his Aximum King Pro (pictured up top) as the same timepiece that Big Poppa purchased for Kim Zolciak on Real Housewives of Atlanta (Kim’s watch is rose gold). The Aximum showroom is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Buckhead. You need an appointment just to view their timepieces.
Visit the Aximum website here.
Apart from the cars he drives, you would never know he had a million dollar watch collection just by looking at him. His clothing is nondescript (Polo button downs, t-shirts, jeans and white sneakers) — and he moves without an entourage.
Here’s a tip on how to snag a True Baller: recognize the AP or Hublot watch on his wrist. He will be more impressed than if you complimented him on his cars. Not everyone can afford an AP — and not every chick knows what an AP looks like.
Knowledge is what separates groupies from women who snag True Ballers — the quiet millionaires who have accumulated wealth that rappers can only dream about.
Visit the Tourneau website and familiarize yourself with the classic timepieces, such as Audemar Piguet, Franck Muller, Breguet, Hublot, Patek Philippe, Chopard, Cartier, and other fine watches that the jet setting ballers love.
Knowledge of the possessions that they prize is the key if you want to snag a true baller, ladies!
:yawn::rolleyes:
Sandra, you know judgin by some of the gravies, some of these ladies betta just take the next nucca that holla at ’em in the McDonald’s drive thru.
You slay me Sandra. You really do.
um, okay more lessons for the smuttbutts to advance from…
TRY THIS SHYT AGAIN

<— BORED
oh yeah, MAN AIN’T SHAT!
Is this post a joke? Ladies…how bout this. Instead of trying to “snag a baller” by educating yourself on timepieces. Educate yourself on how to become THE BALLER. You don’t need a man to do that. Sandra…stop the foolishness.

You don’t like the golddigger 101 lesson Sandy gave?
Sandy have you went back to men now? You said women are the skankiest (in another post that I don’t have the time to go back and find) and now you got a “friend” thats a baller and you giving tips on how to pick him up………is there something you’d like to share? j/a #pleasedontbanmeagain
@Corp,
Nope, I’m all about NOT snagging any damn body… when u snag…it sounds so ho-ish!
@Jazzy…oh u better tell me now! WHAT POST IS IT
@JD
That’s right! It’s always better to have it on your own. Plus, once you get it in your own right you’ll be in a circle of “ballers” anyway that you can pick and chose from. “Ballers” hang with “ballers” and if you’re broke,busted and disgusted they wont be giving tyou the time of day anyway.
Those watches are ugly
@ His
Whatever do you mean? *puts hands behind my back and twists from side to side like a school girl with a juicy secret*
@His…I gotcha

@Jazzy, pls give me a another hint…just say one word and I will look for the clue! I got nothing thus far
#Determined
@ prynsexxx: You got it all wrong. I still LOVE the ladies, and I’m not giving tips on how to snag my friend (his lady would kill me). I’m giving tips on how to snag other ballers who keep low profiles and don’t dress flashy. Sometimes the only way to identify them is by the watch they wear.

My brother told me years ago that you can recognize a real man a.k.a baller by his mannerisms, watch brand and ring as some non-flassy ballers have nice pinky rings to compliment their expensive time pieces.
Oops….”non-flashy ballers”

Okay then they might live at HER momma house in that case. Together. With their two kids. Momma might even be nice and let them have the master bedroom.
I got an over active imagination….
Ballers are cool and all, but I’ll stick with my hubby with his 3 degrees (not earned online) who is currently working on his doctorate and who is an educator and gives back to his community. He may not be “balling” but our bills are paid on time and he takes care of me like a queen.
Ladies beware of men who throw away their hard earned money on a plethora of expensive jewelry, clothes, whatever. Generally they are in debt up to their eyeballs. That’s a bad thing.

Beware of nigras who are impressed by your superior gold digger skills. Whether its you or him running through his money its irresponsible. Tell him you want to see what his savings account looks like not his cot damn watch.
PREACH Bird!!!!!!!
TI, jay-z, and lebron. none of their women probably had a knowledge of such watches…. bobble-head beyonce may have but according to her she was like 17 when they hooked up. we all know what tiny is good at and savannah, well need i say anymore. that girl probably knows seiko.
I agree with #53 and #54. Hubby of 17 yrs is not a baller but genuinely loves me and the kids we had as a married couple. He used his brains and not his wallet to woo me. If this guy can buy cars and expensive watches, why not make an honest woman out of his girl???
Question: what’s wrong with an online degree?
And hisssssss at this entire post! Didn’t anyone teach ya everything that glitters ain’t gold? I never can understand why a woman elects to depend on a man to come up. What’s wrong with obtaining your own? Besides, money doesn’t buy happiness; it just gives you a lot more options.

Nothing is wrong with an online degree, but sometimes educators unfortunately get a lot of negativity for having them especially if they are administrators. That’s all.
SR, why did you edit blackbarbie? inquiring minds want to know. i think it’s probably slimm.

i should have bought a watch instead of my house!!!
@sandra The watches are still ugly and when have I ever said I wanted a “baller” chile boo that doesn’t impress me at all
This is tooo funny..lol
LOL @ jazzyiest
@ Daisy:
It’s okay for you not to be impressed by those watches. This post is for the women who want to snag a rich baller.
What he should be impressed with is that I overlook that high a** watch and wanted to get to know him…. That what can separate a woman from groupies.
YAAAAAWN. I’ll take the cash… you can have the watches. I be more impressed with a nice portfolio that can set u up for life than time pieces that impresses a thief. You can eat with cash, you cant eat a watch. Truth!!!
Oh and dont sell me the “can sell the watches for millions bizness…”. Those markets fluctuate and are not always there just like the job market and housing markets. …just sayin.

*le sigh* I didn’t say he could sell his watches for millions. I said he could sell his million dollar watch collection. I don’t care how much the market fluctuates, those watches will always be worth something to serious watch collectors. I bet he can get at least a quarter of a mil for his collection. That’s a lot more than some of us will earn in a lifetime.
I think is funny that these women chase the same guys, and the numbers arent in their favor. Not alot of those “ballers” guys in Atlanta.. HALF of them are GAY.. . These be the same guys that will beat her azz and treat her like shyt.. But its okay, he gotta a nice watch!! lol… Most “ballers” be lames anyway.. Thats why its so easy for these women to game em…

Unless u plan on working at McD’s for the rest of your life… *snicker* For an average person, a good middle income level is like $70-80k/annum. Checking out ur quarter mil that takes under 4 yrs not a lifetime.
Maybe we all take something different from this post, what I think sandra is trying to say is that if you want a “baller” then this is a subtle way of noticing one from afar, THEN all the other things, like his degrees and investments can come after you recognize he IS a baller, if that is what you are looking for. If you can’t use the info or if it doesnt apply to you, make a mental note and use it later…..

It seems to me that you’re talking about thugs. Those types of dudes spend excessively on nonsense like clothes and cars that depreciate in value the second you crank them up. Those types of dudes don’t appreciate an AP unless it’s dripping in diamonds. And any true watch connoisseur knows that aftermarket diamonds on a watch actually decreases the value of any expensive timepiece.
You right Sandra, I would say they are thugs but still that what these type of women are looking for.. They accept whatever way a man wanna treat them jus cuz of his material possessions, ALOT not all of them.. But I feel your point..
@ ATL_Reese: This post is not for those chicks. They are chicken
heads. They wouldn’t know a Breitling watch from a Seiko. 
Damn….I’m feeling like a low-key groupie because I can actually recognize an AP, Cartier, Chopard, Breitling, Hublot, (the occasional Mueller) off the back. (My ex and my current are REALLY big on watches. They both collect.) Have you ever heard of Corum, Sandra? My fiance’ has been going on and on about acquiring a Corum for his collection and I want to get it for him for xmas but that price tag……..yeah……..it hurts. (He of course wouldn’t want the lower-end ones.)
Also- I HATE when men take classic timepiece watches and diamond them out with “accents” or add anything the original manufacturer did not put in. Makes them look them look tacky and low-class.
And sad to say…but Sandra is right (Shoot me.) A man’s watch tells you a lot about him- class, stature and bank account wise. If you are trying to “snag a baller”- run from anybody with a Joe Rodeo or a Jacob. Bat your eyelashes hard at an AP or a Chopard, though.
And Sandra- don’t go giving advice that may backfire for those who aren’t truly “knowledgeable” on these things. There’s nothing worse than hearing a chick ask: “Is that an Addy-mars Piggett? Or a HUB-LOT?”
She’ll get embarrassed and you know it….
Also- if it ticks…..not real, not quality, not Swiss. He’s lying.
