Soccer star sports a $500k Rolex! 🤑

Some like a little bling on their Rolex!

He should be careful, he falls over so often he could easily lose one or more of those stones.

I enjoy wearing some bling on my wrist and finger, but that is not to my liking. Good for him. He's got it and he has choose to flaunt it. I hope he has a security detail tailing him and his Lady Ga Ga look alike girl friend.

Oh. Well then I changed my mind. Go ahead and swear away in front of women especially women you don’t know.

That's quite an odd yard stick within which to measure class, which many women (and many men too) i'm sure would totally disagree with.

No that’s just one way of measuring it. I apologize but I assumed most would understand that.

So what else is new? I dunno, I won't say he looks like a (>^%. Someone just needs to invite him over for a sixpack or two, couple of cigars, and some dip. Help the guy.

He has the most Insta followers of all and I hear he makes more from that than from his football contract, no wonder every kid wants this "career".

Haha, I didn't even think of that. He probably doesn't want a $10k+ link sitting in his drawer at home.

But to comment on some of the other posts, here... I don't think we should judge him on his choice on how to spend his money. He literally makes 10s of millions of dollars a year. $500k is a drop in his lifetime earnings bucket. If I made that I'm sure I'd have some diamonds sprinkled on some of my random possessions. To each their own. Ronaldo is a footballer of a generation and I applaud him on his talent and dedication to the sport.

But Ronaldo, your watch would wear so much nicer with a link or two removed!

that watch bracelet is probably all stretched out already, it's white gold and he is wearing it so loose on his wrist, what a clown.

That’s what I was wondering too.

Is that a thing in some parts of the world?

In America usually only the girl wears an engagement ring

Then once married, both male and female wear wedding bands

Didn't see this and put the same article up in the Open Discussion. But I was thinking about what type a man wears rings like that? The watch is one thing, but really?!?!?
