Raymond Weil used to be one of the iconic designer brands of the 1990s in Nigeria. It was a favourite watch brand for Nigerian drug smugglers and fraudsters living in London, New York and other American cities (drug peddling used to be much more popular amongst Nigerian criminals, before 419 was later discovered as a less hazardous and more “respectable” way of making dollars). No worthy drug peddler (they were also socialites that dominated the Lagos scene) was praised in a song without the mention of his Raymond Weil watch. Nigerian crime lords have moved on to other wristwatch brands. So, Raymond Weil has reverted to a brand for regular, hardworking folks ( successful 419ers are said to have amazing work ethic).
