NOT TRUE: Axl's Versace Watch

She's also told everyone where to find his watch - in his house

Some people just don't get it, you don't mess with Jarmo and Beta. Jarmo is with them on tour all the time and Beta is Axl's "Mom", period. You don't see to many pictures of Axl without Beta to far behind, just making sure her boy is OK and being treated the best. In case you haven't realized, this is a tight knit proud Brazilian family running the "behind the scenes" of this GN'R tour.  Fernando, Beta, Jeri, Vanessa, just to name a few and there's a lot more. Most of us know but if you don't, now you do. I wish I had something cool to say in Portuguese but I don't. 
But they all do a great job of taking great care of the band!

I can never figure out how to read those watches, they look so complicated. I'm happy with a simple one with one face & 2 hands, although I do have one where the second hand is a little spider moving around.

That's tacky to attach Axl's name to a watch that was gifted in the memory of someone who was murdered, and use that to help sell it for more money. I don't think Donatella would appreciate hearing Axl selling a gift off, either.

Julien's is pretty reputable, but from time to time, what might seem to come from a legit place, or be legit, turns out to be an elaborate hoax. The watch itself isn't a hoax, but this is along the lines of giving someone a nice gift, and seeing it out at a yard sale a couple of years later.

Unfortunately this sort of thing is happening on a large scale, all over the world. I'm glad in this instance a poster was able to confirm the genuine nature of the item by coming on here, but not everyone has the honour of asking someone who is as close as you can get to Axl personally. (Thanks to Beta N' Jamo for that)

On a side note, Axl's watch looks lovely... and I would love to have one just like it. But I'm afraid I'm saving my money for future GN'R shows / tours, so I'll have to make do with a Sekonda watch for now.

Darren Julien is not overly caring about the alleged deception

Say what you will

I did    But in all fairness they've been really good with their time.  Maybe Axl should leave his watch home all the time.  On the other hand, did anybody check to make sure the watch was still at the house?  Somebody may have lifted it.

Are you serious??? Do you really think that i would post what i posted if I wasn't sure of what I was saying? Jarmo will post the pic of his watch. 

You didn't have to do that.  I wasn't questioning your word.  I can say within reason my stuff is where I left it at home without checking.  I would hope Axl could say the same but after having seen the pictures of those people snooping through his bathroom, it occurred to me maybe he can't.  I'm sorry if you guys had to check up on your stuff just to be sure a guest to your home didn't take something.
