If you ask any Ric Flair fan to mention any of his promos, they will probably recite the iconic, “Rolex-wearing, diamond ring-wearing, kiss stealing, wheeling dealing, limousine riding, jet-flying son of a gun.” The origin of the very first component of this catchphrase isn’t a secret to fans. Almost everyone who closely notices Nature Boy’s signature style statement is aware of his wild obsessions with the classic watch brand, Rolex.
Despite Flair valuing his watch possessions no less than any priceless assets, he had to lose some of his favorite accessories in the course of time.

All these things, style, and charisma-related are naturally associated with the glamorous WWE, but there are some historic ageless figures who took the stance to another level over the years.
Nature Boy Ric Flair was a crucial one among them. Despite being in his mid-seventies, the WWE Hall of Famer keeps his love for fashion intact. The most iconic part of his style statements throughout his career was probably some of the supreme diamond Rolex watches worth $13,000 that he regularly sported. He has a lot of stories to share about his most prized possessions. One of these was somewhat sweetly melancholic.
During a recent episode of Chris Van Vliet’s show, the 74-year-old revealed how he lost four of his eight favorite watches. “I had like eight, I have four left, I gave one to my daughter that I wanted when I died or when I was real sick. I gave like my Hall of Fame rings to my sons-in-law and Ashley wanted that watch more than anything, was the one that Shawn Michaels gave me and then. I’ve lost like four over the years. In what we call escapades. Girls like to borrow my stuff, then they’re never to be seen again,” Nature Boy joked.
Interestingly, he also lost another two of those coveted watches while partying wild with The Undertaker.

Ric Flair is, of course, much more than a party guy, which his wrestling accolades and records say pretty well. That said, the evergreen fun-loving Hall of Famer used to be so lost in another world while chilling out that sometimes he forgot to keep his belongings safe.

The same thing happened during his night out with The Undertaker and former NBA player Horace Grant. Flair mentioned he lost two Rolex watches that night while divulging the amount of fun they had. “I lost two Rolexes with him and Jack Daniels. Well, one I heard I threw into a bowl of spaghetti and told some chick I had 13 at home….I’m in Baltimore. And I was with Taker and Curt Henning and Horace Grant.… I guess I got hammered,” he said in an interview with Joe Rogan.
