Tom Brady leaves NFL Thanksgiving viewers in awe of his stunning $500,000 watch on Fox's coverage

Tom Brady may not have been celebrating Thanksgiving with family on Thursday, but he still had plenty to be thankful for as he called Fox's NFL matinee from Detroit.

As many fans noticed before the Lions welcomed the rival Green Bay Packers, Brady was sporting a roughly $500,000 Rolex - a watch that can easily reach seven figures on the secondary market. 

‘Bling, bling for Brady,’ podcaster David Gee wrote on X. ‘The @NFLonFOX broadcaster is giving thanks for his watch collection no doubt. Diamonds are forever.’

‘Brady’s watch is outrageous,’ a fan added.

Another joked: ‘How many pilgrims died to make that Tom Brady watch?’

Believed to be a Rolex Day-Date 36mm ‘Rainbow,’ or something very similar, the time piece has a fully paved diamond case and bracelet with rainbow-colored sapphire hour markers. The watch is almost identical to a piece Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce wore before his team’s win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

And this is hardly the most money Brady has ever attached to his left wrist.

For last season’s Super Bowl broadcast, Brady wore a special Yellow Sapphire Caviar Tourbillon worth $740,000. That piece had 49 carats, along with 338 brilliant-cut diamonds.

Furthermore, in October last year, Brady put a large part of his personal watch collection up for auction, with 41 items selling for just over $9million.

The Swiss watchmaker has traditionally been associated with tennis. Earlier this year, the brand made waves by inviting President Donald Trump to sit in its VIP suite at the U.S. Open in Queens.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (Democrat, Massachusetts) asked the watchmaker at the time if it was trying to curry favor with an administration that had imposed a 39-percent tariff on Swiss goods.

Whether Warren’s suspicion was accurate or not, Trump did cut that tariff down to 15 percent earlier this month.
