Those who picked up the haute timepieces included Denver Broncos players Julius Thomas and Bradley Roby,pro boxer Victor Ortiz, Olympic swimmer Ed Moses and NFL star Terrell Owens.

The GBK Lounge also hosted a poker tournament benefitting the Model Citizen Fund.  Poker pros, athletes and actors competed to raise $60,000 for the charity. The winner of the tournament was Tim James, who took home a $10,000 Daniel Bass diamond encrusted necklace.

Respectively, the 3rd and 4th place winners got to choose from a three night stay to any of the Mayan Palace Resorts or a $3,000 bed from the luxury bed designer Maxim Mattress.
