£700,000 worth of watches.
I suppose he's not to worried about contract negotiations then.....The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Why not?
Ronaldo just negotiated a £4m a week salary I'm sure he probably had watches worth well in excess of £700k.
Pretty shallow take on a once in a generation sportsman.0 -
Complete aside, but what does a £400k watch do? Is it made from diamonds?0

Thanks. This might be one of those things I will never understand. Looks like the sort of watch my kids would wear.kingstongraham said:

UAE are all wearing RM watches are they not? Pogacar def is and some others as well, but maybe not all.
Alaphilippe also wears one during races.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230 -

at £4m a week I don't think Ronaldo cares.
A lot more people also worship Ronaldo than actually know who Cavendish is..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

What is your point? That because he has a £700k watch that he doesn't care what he gets paid, or doesn't care if he doesn't get paid to race again?0

Never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.1 -

On the BBC Twitter feed last night I noticed the comments criticising Cavendish for owning expensive watches. I shook my head at that being the focus of the story for them.

Should greyhound trainers and champion breeders get honours? Should the head of Paddypower get an MBE?
Where is the line drawn?
