Hasbulla “Mini Khabib” Magomedov is a Dagestan native who’s exploded in popularity on social media.
He became popular with MMA spoofs posted to Tik Tok, and now, he’s got millions of followers.
With all of this success, the man needs a Rolex to celebrate and signify his status.
Today, we’re taking a crack at celebrity watch spotting in this brief but entertaining article.
A Datejust
Not every client gets to sit on the AD’s counter while making a purchase
With a trip to the Dubai Rolex AD, Hasbulla snagged an appropriately sized Rolex Datejust with a dark gray dial and smooth bezel.
The reference here is the Rolex 278240 with a Roman dial on an oyster bracelet.
Not only is this piece representative of classic Rolex design, but it differs from the usual iced-out atrocities we see on many celebrity wrists.
I’d personally wear this watch any day of the week. The sporty appearance of an oyster bracelet with a smooth bezel contrasts the classy look of a Roman dial. Still, the watch’s versatility is unmatched with a gray dial that’ll match a host of different straps and attire alike.
With a retail price of $6,850, it isn’t completely unattainable. Yes, a discussion on Rolex market prices is a whole different pile of weeds I don’t wanna get into, but something this timeless for under 7k is really a no brainer.
If you can find this piece at your AD, and want to match your favorite MMA fighter, then it’s just an easy choice. 31mm might be small, but to me, that oyster case carries so much more presence than you’d initially expect.
