Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz's luxe watch flex at Wimbledon
You may want to agree with it or not, but Wimbledon is far more than just a game. Debatable as it may seem, but who takes the royal box and how they flex their quiet luxury never goes unnoticed nor off-script. At this tournament, tradition isn't just followed, it's flaunted. Sticking to the dress code is a must; elevating it with intention is where the real art year, elegance hit Centre Court the moment the Princess of Wales made her entrance. Dressed in a bespoke blue midi and wearing her signature Cartier Ballon Bleu, Kate Middleton proved once again that timeless style is always in season. Kate Middleton on the Centre Court.

On either side of her were two men who had just battled through four gripping sets, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, each sporting their own wrist game as sharp as their serves. One left with his first Wimbledon title, the other with the runner-up shield. But both made it clear: in modern tennis, the scoreboard isn't the only thing worth Sinner Jannik Sinner with the Wimbledon trophy. (Photo: Associated Press) Jannik Sinner made history as the first Italian man to ever win the Wimbledon men's singles title in the tournament's 148-year run, defeating two-time defending champ Carlos Alcaraz. With the Princess of Wales handing over the winner's trophy, the moment couldn't have been more to his winner's glow? Sinner was spotted wearing a Rolex Daytona during the felicitation. The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in 18k Everose gold came with a sundust and bright black dial, a sleek Oysterflex bracelet, and a bold black Cerachrom bezel featuring a tachymetric bracelet is built with two flexible metal blades wrapped in high-performance black elastomer, designed for comfort with inner cushion panels and an Oysterlock safety clasp. The style is apt for winners, we say!Market price: Rs 36,04,308 Rolex Daytona 'Tiffany' in 18k yellow gold with turquoise dial.

(Photo: Instagram) Alcaraz might not have lifted the winner's trophy, but he sure did steal many hearts. After a fiercely contested four-set final against Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz congratulated his rival warmly during his runner-up speech, praising his exceptional game and the support system behind him. That speech did leave his fans in Middleton honoured him with the runner-up plate, and that's when we spotted Alcaraz subtly flexing a Rolex Daytona 'Tiffany' in 18k yellow gold, complete with a striking turquoise denying that the turquoise dial makes a bold statement. The colour brings to mind Rolex's past releases, like the Oyster Perpetual from 2020, the Everose-gold Sky-Dweller from 2023 (albeit in a deeper tone), and of course, the iconic platinum Daytona with the ice blue Price: 1,02,98,024 Rolex Daytona 'Tiffany' in 18k yellow gold with turquoise dial.

Oasis spat with Edinburgh Council is more fun than going to their gig
Gallagher hit back with 'I'd love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council. Bet there's some real STUNNING individuals.' It's always great when celebs resort to caps; it reveals they are really irate. And we've all enjoyed the Oasis brothers' long-running spat, suspecting it's little more like a 15-year-old mump and that the pair would kiss each other's scratchy faces and make up just as soon as the ink was dry on the £100m performance contract. Read more But why do we really enjoy these feuds? We clearly love the theatre of it all, the unscripted (or sometimes scripted) bitching, we get to see the celebs with a real clarity; we see where their heads and their hearts truly are. And this insight helps determine our remote relationship with them. Don't we all love to see someone agree with what we've been thinking, when their truth coalesces with our truth? (Had to agree with Gallagher on this occasion. Local politics is politics is hardly overpopulated by those defined by a clean, healthy living regime.) And who could criticise Sir Rod's once machine gunning of Michelle Mone? "I think Michelle Mone is a nasty piece of work, I really do," he fumed. "She is a manipulative cow.' Except perhaps Mone's accountants, lawyers and family. As humans, we've long existed thanks to our learning what makes others tick, whether they have a Rolex Daytona personality – or that of a hastily made bomb. Wasn't the best part of Celebrity Big Brother centred on the times countless feuds feature? And isn't it great to be caught up in the heady discourse of debate, which almost becomes a TV game show in itself, whereby the terminal whiners with issues can be set up in front of a camera and proceed to whack each other about the head with rhetoric - and sometimes a little bit of bile. Remember the war of words between the US literary giants Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal, prompted by Vidal's unflattering comments about Mailer's book The Prisoner of Sex. Of course, we didn't enjoy it so much when the spat turned physical when Mailer later headbutted Vidal. Six years later, Mailer lamped him again, prompting Vidal's immortal line: 'As usual, words fail him.' Bette Davis (Image: free) And we won't forget the acid tongues of both Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, the movie stars who hated each other more than they hated losing the Vaseline on their spotlight. Crawford once put rocks in her pockets in preparation for a scene in which Davis had to drag her across a floor in the film Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Then Bette Davis taunted; 'Joan slept with every male star at MGM except Lassie.' Okay, I know what you're thinking; it's undignified to surrender to a little schadenfreude. But isn't seeing the more human side of celebrity useful, in that it that stops our aspirational fires burning to the point you can smell singeing? And don't we sometimes simply crave for a truth, which happens to coincide with our truth? Yes, Elton may have been a little unkind to label one-time chum Madonna a 'fairground stripper,' but who can argue he was wrong to take a pop when he described the Material Girl as a 'lip-syncing miserable cow,' who was charging a (then) whopping £75 to see her mouth the words to backing tracks? Read more Yet, you had to admire Madge's miaow of a reply, after turning down an invite to sing at Reg's wedding. 'Madonna wishes Elton all the best and hopes married life will make him a happier person.' Yet, we aren't always treated to clever bitchery, which is often about self-aggrandising behaviour. Did Louis Walsh have to continually refer to his former protégé Ronan Keating as 'the former shoe-shop worker? Did Mel Brown really have to claim a lesbian tryst with fellow Spicer Geri Horner? Could it have been about Brown's need to shift book sales rather than come out with her truth? Of course. But let's enjoy the little spats, nonetheless. They are wonderfully reductive, sometimes wise, often waspish. It's conflict, but not REAL conflict. And when the Beckhams or the Sussexes fall out with their families, we can take comfort that it's not just us muggles who are capable of that.

Palm Beach Police: Man hired via Uber stole $40K Rolex from Worth Avenue jeweler
What began as a traffic stop for not wearing a seat belt turned into an arrest for grand theft and several other charges for a West Palm Beach man accused of stealing a $40,000 Rolex watch from a Worth Avenue jewelry store. Palm Beach Police took the 26-year-old man into custody early in the morning of June 11 in the 200 block of Royal Palm Way, according to an arrest report. His charges include grand theft, unlawful use of a two-way communication device, failure to register a motor vehicle, attaching a license plate to a vehicle to which it's not registered, giving false identification to a law enforcement officer and driving with a suspended or revoked license, court records show. The man pleaded not guilty to all charges and remained at the Palm Beach County Jail on June 16 without bail, according to jail records. He is being represented by the Palm Beach County Public Defender's office, which as a policy does not comment on open cases. Palm Beach Police have been looking for the man since March 22, when LaMuse Jewelers on Worth Avenue reported a missing $40,000 blue Rolex Daytona watch, an arrest report said. The jeweler had hired an Uber courier the morning of March 19 to deliver the watch to JC Martin Jewelers on Forest Hill Boulevard in Lake Clarke Shores, but the watch did not arrive at its destination, the report said. When police reviewed the requested fare on the Uber app, it said the route was about 8 miles and should have taken 24 minutes, the arrest report said. When police checked license plate reader data, the license plate number registered to the Uber account had not been detected in Palm Beach on March 19, but was seen in Margate on that day, the arrest report said. Police contacted the person who registered the Uber account, and he said that he did not complete any jobs for Uber that month, but let his half-brother, the West Palm Beach man, use the account beginning March 5, according to the arrest report. Uber's Community Guidelines, to which all users agree when signing up to drive or deliver for the company, do not allow account sharing, the company said. According to Uber, it has increased account audits to look for fraudulent activity. Users who suspect that the person who delivers an order isn't the same person registered with the app should report the account to Uber, the company said. "Account sharing is strictly prohibited on the Uber platform, and we take violations of this policy seriously," an Uber spokesperson told the Daily News. "We banned the involved driver account and stand ready to support law enforcement with their investigation." A Palm Beach Police detective went to the West Palm Beach man's apartment and saw the man sitting in a white Mercedes-Benz sedan, then get into a BMW. Both cars had the same license plate from New York, which issues plates in pairs to be placed on the front and back of the same vehicle, the arrest report said. The white Mercedes with the New York license plate was seen in Palm Beach at times that coincided with the Uber courier pickup March 19, the detective found. Town surveillance cameras showed that when the man left the jeweler March 19, he carried with him the sealed FedEx package that contained the Rolex watch and placed it on the passenger seat of the Mercedes before leaving town, police said. The man's wife told police that her husband was with her at a doctor's appointment on the morning of March 19, and the man told police that he was at a barbershop in Boca Raton that morning, after which he boarded a plane to Puerto Rico, police said. On June 11, a Palm Beach Police officer pulled over the West Palm Beach man just after 6:15 a.m. because he saw that the man was not wearing a seat belt, an arrest report said. The man was driving a brown BMW, but the temporary Florida license plate on the car was connected to a white Ford, police said. The man gave the officer a fake name, then provided a Social Security number that was registered to another person, the arrest report said. The man's wife drove to the scene and gave police the man's Florida ID card, the arrest report said. The man does not have a driver's license — it was revoked in 2024 for five years because the man was declared a habitual traffic offender, according to the arrest report. The man's wife also identified surveillance images of the man that had been taken outside of the jewelry store the morning that the watch was stolen, police said. The report did not say what happened to the Rolex. In addition to the felony charges the man faces, he also received a ticket for not wearing his seat belt, court records show.

Man robbed of $30K Rolex after meeting woman on Broadway, police say
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A woman was taken into custody Thursday after she allegedly stole a $30,000 watch after being invited to a short-term rental in Nashville. According to arrest documents, officers were sent to a short-term rental in the 900 block of Southside Place on Thursday, June 12 to respond to a theft call. | READ MORE | The victim allegedly told police that he and friends met two women at a bar on Broadway and invited them to come back to where they were staying. Once they were at the short-term rental, the victim said he placed his Rolex Daytona, which has a value of $30,000, underneath his hat and went to bathroom.
