It's pretty sweet.




Though I'll say that if it weren't a Tom Brady-branded watch and if it didn't have that "12" in the subdial, it's otherwise not all that bad-looking.

Clearly they've not put much thought into it though; they had quite a few really good opportunities to integrate the '12' into the watch, but just decided to slap it into a subdial. This drips of cynical cash grab to me

Yeah that was not a very good move and make the watch look like something you just threw together during a night out. Overall a very cool watch and if I were looking for a 01 this could very well be "it", but that 12 looks quite ghastly IMHO.

LOVE the "12", but wish the piece had a few more visibly "Patriot-esque" accents besides the colors. I do realize that's hard to accomplish without making things gaudy and tacky. And the 12 is near the 12 position. It works for me. If it were otherwise just printed on the dial somehow, maybe not so much.

Scheidenfraude is not an admirable quality.

I'll take the lost-perfect-season-due-to-a-helmet-catch debacle in exchange for those 2 SBs against the Seahawks and Falcons at the goal line and in OT, respectively. Close call, but I'll take it.


Watch and enjoy. I sobbed with pleasure as I opened it.

The blue watch only has his uniform number design near the 12 position. Don't hate. Love it. The blue restricts what you can wear if you wish to sport it, of course, but that's true of any piece in that color.

I memorialized opening it:

Although Tom Brady is my favorite player and the Patriots is my favorite team but I have to say, this watch looks just awful! IMO of course!

Congratulations on the watch @CWJohnston
I cleaned your posts; so that the quotes are properly defined.

Yeah the "12" is a nice detail, I just whished they had integrated it better up there instead of slaming it unto the subdial. At the same time, i get that it's impossible to move them around as you please and this was probably the best option they had.

In the end it's still a really cool watch and I wish that I had both the wallet and the wrists to wear it!

Bringing up this old thread because to sweeten the pot on the watch, TH is selling fifteen of them included in the purchase a number 12 jersey autographed by the goat himself. Same price as the original release. Check out the pricing for Brady autographed jerseys. I ordered one but since they wont ship until the 4th I'm deciding whether or not to cancel.

It is a nice watch. Tried one on at my local AD. It is cool that his jersey is 12...makes for a nice watch.

The current release comes with a #12 Patriots jersey signed by Tom and included at the price of the original watch.

..plus "don't crack under pressure" is being phased out/ de-emphasised. That stayed around too long
