Icon10 Which Rolex model did Madoff send to his family?

I've heard that Bernie Madoff mailed his family several Rolexes (as well as other jewelry to his family when he was on bail. But the question remains......which Rolex models did he have? This question keeps me up at night!

LOL @ directioneng

That could be true, but seriously. I was thinking maybe a rare President or a Daytona. A conman of his statue would not settle with a TT or SS Submariner. At least I imagine so.

I believe that at least one of the watches was confirmed to be a vintage Paul Newman Daytona. I believe the other watches ranged from Cartier to Tiffany to Paiget.

I think we all know that already.

You don't get 150 years in prison for using your own money.

It wasn't mine! He may be a conman but he has great taste!

Thanks for the responses, it gives me an idea of what kind of watch connoisseur he is.
