About Buck Shotz’s watch collection
Buck Shotz is a rapper who has been building a profile in the hip-hop space, cultivating a following through social media and music releases. His Instagram presence, operating under the handle @buckshotz, has become a window into his lifestyle — and increasingly, his taste for serious wristwear. Like many artists coming up through the rap world, Shotz uses his platform not just for music promotion but as a running visual diary, and his wrist has started attracting attention from watch enthusiasts alongside his core fan base.
The Buck Shotz watch collection, as far as Watch Paparazzi has documented, currently centers on Rolex — and not the entry-level stuff. A wrist shot posted to his Instagram showed Shotz wearing two watches simultaneously: a substantial yellow gold piece and a heavily diamond-set companion, a pairing that signals a collector interested in both technical substance and visual weight. The identifiable piece in that shot is the Rolex Yacht-Master II reference 116688, crafted in 18k yellow gold. This is not a casual purchase. The ref. 116688 is powered by the in-house Calibre 4161, a movement Rolex spent over a decade engineering, featuring a mechanical regatta countdown complication — a genuine technical achievement housed inside a case that also reads as unambiguously bold on the wrist.
What makes this sighting interesting is the combination of choices. The Yacht-Master II is a watch with legitimate horological depth — a mechanical regatta timer that functions on a sailing race course — yet Shotz pairs it with what appears to be a diamond-set piece, suggesting his collecting approach balances mechanical credibility with the visual language of rap culture. It is a combination that reflects where high-end watch collecting and hip-hop have intersected for decades, and Shotz appears to be a participant in that tradition with genuine knowledge behind the choices.
