Can someone identify this watch??

This photo of this watch was taken in 2019 - so I know it's at least that old.

I would like to know what it is. Unfortunately, I don't have a better photo.

Looks like something with an open heart type design, but I just don't know.

Anyone?? Thank you!

Bump to try again?? This watch was worn by a celebrity, so it's kind of bugged me for a few years now that I don't know what it is...

Anyone?

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?



Thanks!

Interesting.

The 9 looks like a Bell & Ross. But from memory I don't think they ever made a dial with only the "9"?

Longines also makes a dial with a large 9. But has the 12 and 6.

Almost looks like it has a heartbeat dial or is that some kind of marking? Bulova has a lot of heartbeat dials.

I had the opportunity to meet Drew Brees a few years ago and this is what he was wearing. I didn't pay attention to it at the time, although I had about a half hour with him. He spent most of the time exchanging stories about our kids and he threw a football with my son.

This was the best picture of the watch I had from that meeting.

I figured it might have been some sort of Panerai as he has been associated with them before.

I would have NEVER thought to look at a Diesel as Colorado Kid did.

Mystery solved...

Outstanding work figuring this out.

Like I said before -it's bugged me for several years now - especially that I didn't think to ask him about it.

Thank you!!

Ok, so this has led me down a path and I can find other pictures of him wearing the same watch.

Are you sure this is a Diesel Rasp?? That open heart at 4 o'clock is throwing me. The strap could be changed of course, but the logo at 12 o'clock and the font on the 9 seems different.

I definitely think you are a LOT closer than I have been in the four years since then.

This may be a dumb rabbit hole to go down, but it's fun!!

Thanks, now it will be a little bit more easier :) To be honest, I'm not sure in a Diesel If it would be so easy, then there would be no such a huge interest about this watch. Fe:

On these pictures, I also see a two crowned watch, which is not a Diesel for sure. So I made a research, because now I'm interested in it too, and probably I found a solution why it's a mistery: This watch seems to be a Nixon x Barneys Holiday Collection 2008 with a custom dial. It's just plausible because it was a very limited series, so maybe he could order this version. This watch contour perfectly fits the pictures, if we can add a custom strap too. In this case, and in the price range of ~$8000@ year 2008 it seems to a plausible solution for me:

Oh wow, didn't realize it was Drew Breeze wearing it. Yeah, I kinda doubt he'd wear a $50 watch. Unless it was a paid endorsement thing.

I spent a good few minutes looking through all the Rasps and don't see one with that khaki dial and open heart. Or blue mark or whatever that dot is. Search continues.

So looking at a bunch of photos of him over the years he seems to wear this one a lot but also a lot of Panerai. Wonder if Panerai made him a #9 watch as that was his number.
