As the World Series ended and the winter meetings approached, Aaron Judge's free agency became an unstoppable topic of conversation in MLB town. Finally, the 2022 AL MVP agreed to a massive, lavish contract with the New York Yankees worth $360 million over nine years.
Prior to his first appearance as the Yankees captain, the slugger made his first purchase with his yearly $40 million salary. As a result, Judge arrived at the official paper signing wearing a pricey Rolex that cost more than $200,000 and cost more than three expensive Conor McGregor watches combined.

The $200,000 watch found its way to the GQ Sports list of the:
“rarest, wildest, and most covetable watches spotted on celebrities.”
The "Eye of the Tiger" watch was released in 2019 and features a bezel set with 36 diamonds and a dial set with 243 or more diamonds in a tiger-stripe pattern. Judge, a $360 million, 62-homer man, recently became its proper suitor.
The American League's top home run hitter in 2017 and 2022 wore this Daytona watch on its rubber Oysterflex bracelet to the Yankees' formal signing, where he was introduced as the team's captain.
