Okay but what about the scrambled eggs?If anyone is wondering / looking for another reason to be envious / curious about his choices he's wearing a Rolex DateJust 41mm - looks like the oystersteel and yellow gold, about £13k. Something along those lines anyway - there are variations in the metals used.
It's an interesting choice - the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel are a decision he's made that make it catch the light and standout a little more than had he gone for the smooth bezel and oyster bracelet which are a bit more discrete. It's also an interesting choice because while it's a Rolex (slight yawn in that footballer-with-a-Rolex is a cliche) he's not gone for the much more common among footballers Submariner or Daytona.
The Submariner is a dive watch, looks the business, and is for many the "classic" Rolex while the Daytona is a bit of a legendary watch - if you buy a Daytona you likely have a bit of an interest in watches and their history or just a load of money and want a Rolex chronograph. Solly has a Daytona for example that's cost him 2 or 3 times as much as this DateJust. So the DateJust is arguably a bit of a refined buy and being very simple it's also one that's a bit understated and not typical for a professional footballer. I'd even suggest it's quite a classy choice compared to many.
