Jay-Z has been roc-a-wearing Richard Mille replica watches since before Blue Ivy was but a twinkle in his and the Queen B's eye. His most famous fake watch from the hyperbole-inducing brand has to be his custom, $2.5 million dollar, sapphire Richard Mille 56 that reportedly took over 3,000 hours to make. Nicknamed 'The Blueprint' because of the notoriously tough material and Jay-Z's sixth album, the fake watch is about as eye-catching as they come.

Clad in all-white, he was captured on A$AP Ferg's Instagram lighting Ferg's cigar with a bright-green-and-white fake watch on his wrist. While clearly a Richard Mille, the exact model was a little harder to narrow down, but luckily, I work with a bunch of eagle-eyed folks with Library of Congress-level amounts of fake watch knowledge stored in their noggins. "Think I found it," Logan Baker Slacked, "and it's better than you could have expected."

Normally the RM 26-01 has a diamond-set case, but this case is a brilliantly eye-catching green with a similar white gold panda, but more blinged-out bamboo stalks. Update: it is, in fact, custom-made just for Hova, so maybe that Panda is out there and available for you to snatch up.
