Hedgehog Posted 12 April, 2013 Posted 12 April, 2013 With all the signings going on and the fact that all the players are wearing these watches, is it the same one passed around for photo oppurtunities? have you googled their price, I did and you are looking at a grand a go. Don't think they will sell many in the Saints shop, if at all.
John Boy Saint Posted 12 April, 2013 Posted 12 April, 2013 Doh! Sign a contract get a watch, Eterna are supplying at cost which in reality is bobbins v retail so a "freebie" is mere dust in the grand scheme of things. Anyway a grand a go is small potatoes when it comes to Premiership footballers. I have a TAG Heuer that even the TAG sales folks in a few stores including Harrods have got moist at which was only £900 (thanks to an insurance claim) and they have £4k and £5k + watches behind the glass. I saw a stunning Brietling in Harrods at £14k so a grand Eterna is a bit Ticky tocky Timex by comparison.
Pilchards Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 They do good fakes down the Hythe market for a tenner, you never know if they are the same as those in the photo shoots?
Turkish Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 You really think a footballer on £50k a week and a chairman earning £1.5m are going to walk around in £50 casios form Argos? £1k is nothing for a watch.

Andre Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 I don't mind about the watches, but I am now concerned we're over-paying Jack Stephens. I don't think he, or anyone else at the club, actually had to fork out to buy them for themselves... I thought that much was obvious.
norwaysaint Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Yes, you're right. You're a very smart guy. I can't believe I actually thought we were paying Jack Stephens £50k a week. It's only lucky you were there to help me realise how foolish I was. Thanks mate.
The Kraken Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Yes, you're right. You're a very smart guy. I can't believe I actually thought we were paying Jack Stephens £50k a week. It's only lucky you were there to help me realise how foolish I was. Thanks mate. Its probably a good idea if your intention is to be patronising and glib to actually read the original post that people are responding to, before acting the goon. With all the signings going on and the fact that all the players are wearing these watches, is it the same one passed around for photo oppurtunities? Otherwise you end up looking a bit daft, and wading into a thread just for the sake of an argument. The only person that mentioned Jack Stephens was, erm, you. Just saying.
sotonist Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 I'm now concerned that MoPo has become chairman.
Andre Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Yes, you're right. You're a very smart guy. I can't believe I actually thought we were paying Jack Stephens £50k a week. It's only lucky you were there to help me realise how foolish I was. Thanks mate. Perhaps my sarcasm was overlooked...
RobM Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 I'm now concerned that MoPo has become chairman. It looks like him, but it's actually Cortese in a Pochettino mask.
John Boy Saint Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 I wonder if we will get an Eterna watch when we extend our contracts to watch Saints by renewing our Season Tickets?
Window Cleaner Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 I wonder if we will get an Eterna watch when we extend our contracts to watch Saints by renewing our Season Tickets? you might get a voucher for 50p off any Eterna model of your choosing with a minimum value of £2000
lloydie Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Wierd we never had this when Omega were a sponsor, of sorts.
RobM Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 They weren't a sponsor, were they? They were just 'timing partner' or something equally as meaningless, they never paid for sponsorship as such. Eterna would have paid specifically for the exposure they're getting and will be supplying the watches. It's designed to get us talking about it and to increase brand awareness. It'll never work...
Spudders Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Jesus, is someone gonna complain about the price of sunseeker boats next? A grand for a swiss watch, whatever next?
RobM Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Audemars Piguet, nothing more to say. Patek Philippe might have something to say.
St Chalet Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Branding is everything for watches. Rolex watches have to be the ****est at keeping time yet idiots keep buying them.
stknowle Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 You really think a footballer on £50k a week and a chairman earning £1.5m are going to walk around in £50 casios form Argos? £1k is nothing for a watch. As ever, good point well put

Saint Without a Halo Posted 14 April, 2013 Posted 14 April, 2013 Seems their sponsorship is working as everyone has noticed the watches and you are all talking about them!
eurosaint Posted 14 April, 2013 Posted 14 April, 2013 I wish they did clocks as well, then maybe we could replace the one below the directors box which they took away ! I look straight across at it and have missed it big time !!

I look straight across at it and have missed it big time !! They do............ There is a chuffin great big digital one top right hand corner of our nice new LCD screens at both ends of the ground!!

John Boy Saint Posted 15 April, 2013 Posted 15 April, 2013 Warning! Highly perfumed, bling wearing, expensive watch attired Chav in the house. Just trying to fit in with the Saints own Gok Wan - Turkish and his blue print for football attire....................... Bit of a worry though that even from San Francisco you can smell my aftershave (better sort that out!)........................... But most worrying that it has taken until I am 48 before someone has called me a Chav: Ooooooo-errrrrrrrr!
Turkish Posted 15 April, 2013 Posted 15 April, 2013 i didn't realise that Eterna also make hand dryers as well. they had them in the bar i was in the other day. I obviously hang out in the classiest establishments.
Barry Sanchez Posted 15 April, 2013 Posted 15 April, 2013 Patek Philippe might have something to say. He would but not much, they are crap compared.
Barry Sanchez Posted 16 April, 2013 Posted 16 April, 2013 For absolute class and not childish bling I point you to Van Cleef & Arpels and A.Lange and Sohne.
