Its not everyday you serve a Premiership Football player..

As some of you know I work in a jewellers...


... After finishing my lunch today, rushed of my feet! I went along to help out my next customer, only to see it was Jermaine Pennant, Premiership Football player! He was sporting a BEAUTIFUL RG Daytona Turns out I begin to chat about watches with him.. a real good chap with supreme taste in watches

Geez Dino, nice to know you have a great time with that man!

So tell us, how did the Daytona look on his wrist?

Probably wont have it long, this is the man who left a 911 porsche in a long term car park at Heathrow airport for months, because he forgot he owned it.

Is the 'Premiership League' some sort of pre-NFL combine?

You should have asked him why he didn't square the ball to Gerrard in the closing minutes of the 2007 CL Final
