We should protest national anthems at college games to show our dissatisfaction in their watch choices.

I see no alternative.

Saban is too busy winning.

I kind of figured any display of wealth was probably a bad idea for a college team. Last thing they need is to be accused of accepting large gifts.

Robbyman said it earlier. Many are missing the sponsorship point perhaps:

Nike buys the shirt/uniform contract via sponsorship so they wear their logo.

The answer may be sponsorship. Fossil makes logo watches for NCAA teams. The school may be getting some funding via exclusive wristwear by the head coach. Every part of your body in sports is a potential billboard.

Saban's watch was given to him by his family for a Christmas present.

Lotta middle class anxiety in this thread. Woof.

Another great post from someone who needs to seriuosly reconsider life's priorities.

Valenciawatchrepair · 24 February 2018, 09:02 AM

lol. I couldn't care less what Saban or these other coaches wear.

Mods, please close this thread. Did not anticipate the visceral reactions.

Didn't see any real visceral reactions? More bafflement.

Valenciawatchrepair · 24 February 2018, 10:02 AM

Wha? Why does a thread need to be closed? You got some differing opinions. No big deal.

cdnwatchguy · 24 February 2018, 02:28 PM

First, the cult of celebrity has always mystified me. I really do not care whatever a famous person wears/does/eats etc.

Second, is there a requirement for someone who is wealthy or famous to show their wealth in a manner that you recognize and appreciate?

In the town I used to live in there was a multi millionaire I knew who always wore rubber boots and a denim jacket, drove an older pickup truck. Not even sure he ever wore a watch. He spent a great deal of his money supporting local initiatives and charities without fanfare or calling attention to himself. I guess by the OP's yardstick he was a failure

Product placement most likely.

I was hesitant to get a Rolex until I realized nobody would notice. Love it or hate it Rolex is known as a status symbol to non watch people.

I have small mortgage payment in a very modest home. I only own a Rolex because I am a watch geek. The general pubic does not recognize non blingy watches. Most would not recognize common models of any nice watch brands which is good with me.

I don’t want to have a conversation with coworkers or anyone else for that matter why I bought a watch that cost several thousand dollars.

Edit: I am an accountant so probably a bit conservative.

superdog · 26 February 2018, 03:42 AM

I kind of feel bad for the OP.

What a dopey collection of thoughts.

I cannot comment on all of the responses. I can say that Nick Saban has been the leader in college football coaches salaries. No matter what watch he wears, all division 1 coaches owe their salary increases to him.

Rashid.bk · 27 February 2018, 07:19 AM

Didn't read the whole thread but frankly this thread is a bit silly, one, and two very snobbish to assume people of a certain demographic "should wear" a luxury watch, but what even makes it worse is not any luxury watch but a Rolex.

Besides, is it not possible that they are endorsed by Fossil to wear that. So maybe not so stupid or "weird".
