Hedgehog Posted 12 April, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 12 April, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 13 April, 2013 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 13 April, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind about the watches, but I am now concerned we're over-paying Jack Stephens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Posted 13 April, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 13 April, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

lloydie Posted 13 April, 2013 Share Posted 13 April, 2013 Wierd we never had this when Omega were a sponsor, of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted 13 April, 2013 Share 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...

toe_punt Posted 15 April, 2013 Share Posted 15 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. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
