While Rihanna, 24, tweeted a photo of her gorgeous new timepiece, the singer’s controversial on-again boyfriend Chris Brown purchased the men’s version of the same watch.

In the past Brown has posted photos of his extensive collection of Rolex chronographs. Story Source: Daily Mail. Photo source: Twitter: @Rihanna READ MORE
