Charles Godfrey has $125,000 worth of watches stolen

[Ja Rhule]

The gold Ralex with Roman numerals? Nope, haven't seen it.

Whether this story is true or not, I don't give a damn what anyone says. If I had millions of dollars, I'd buy some ridiculous things too.

You ever seen that show "Oddities"? I'd shop at that place like it was freaking Target.

Some have a built in calculator

Don't forget moon phases. Because everyone need to know when people will act a fool.

I don't get all of the hate on Godfrey. Yes that is absurd to spend that much money on watches but i'm sure every other millionaire athlete splurges on some type of luxury item, we just happened to hear about Godfrey's misfortune.

I think basically people just cant understand the different life style signing a 40 million dollar contract can bring to you. 125k is like spending 100 dollars to them. It's not like he does this every day. Hardy on his 6th round rookie contract bought a bentley no one on here called him a idiot. Let the man live.

Pretty sure people called Hardy an idiot then....

and most of these guys don't receive there "contract" figure.....only a fraction of that. 125k isn't like a 100 bucks when looking at most players.

That "lifestyle" you boast people don't understand is why 78% of NFL players are broke in their 30s.

I can get that at Wal Mart for 20 bucks.

For that kinda money, they need to have a built in masseuse.

Kellen Winslow case...

SOLVED.

78% of those people arent making the 40 million.i bet a large part of those who go broke are the sutton's and hortons who never make big contracts and are never really secure. Say he doesn't get all of that contract say half 25 mill. which is still more than 99% of us will see in our life time. Even if he's only left with a million that is more than most people will make. Those are the extreme cases you hear about im sure most players the decent ones have some kind of fallback. I think players like at worse own a car dealership when they are done.

lol it doesn't take much to go broke.

There are some pretty wealthy/rich folks on this board. I am hoping to be there in a couple of years. Who knows.

 

Whatever my wealth is, it is difficult to fathom spending such a percent of my net worth on watches.

 

But that is his business and his money. I get the feeling he will not be in the Observer business section in 2015

What precent is 125k of 25 million?

What precent is 125k of 25 million?

Godfrey didn't make 25 million this year. He won't see that 25 million overall here. Likely just close to the guaranteed 12.5. Most of which he already got from 11-12. They tax that too like a mofo.

Technically, I think Godfrey actually received 1.7 M as a Panther this year. So what is 125k of 1.7M (again, that money is taxed not take home cash) seems like a better question. Both leave out lots do other things though.

Again, this is all hypothetical since Godfrey says it is all false. But he can spend 5 million on cars if he wants....his money.

Cheap, high quality watches?

Breitling Emergency 2, and Casio Pathfinder. But then again the Breitling has two emergency transponders built in and the Casio has compass, temp, barometer, altimeter, and is solar powered. I like to be outside.

Not really. Unless they are very rare they don't appreciate in value at all.

 

There are MUCH smarter investments out there to be had if that was what his intentions were.

 

I have a Seiko gold nugget watch that's worth more than double---perhaps 3X---it was when my wife bought it roughly 18 years ago for $400.
