We feel you, Jason. The green dial Rolex GMT-Master II makes us emotional, too. We wish you all the best, # 62. Photo courtesy AP Photo/Matt Rourke.

Philadelphia Eagles Center #62, Jason Kelce, announced his retirement this week, wearing a green dial Rolex GMT-Master II to honor his Eagles. According to the website Time and Tide, Kelce was wearing a now-discontinued yellow gold Rolex GMT Master II with a green dial and black bezel. The watch currently sells for up to $95,000 on the resale market. 

The watch is quite sentimental to Kelce. The retiring Eagles Center said during an episode of the "Green Light with Chris Long" podcast that the green dial Rolex was specially commissioned for the team after the Philadelphia Eagles won the 2018 Super Bowl.   "Super Bowl rings aren't fun to wear. First of all, you feel kind of like a douche, a little bit, I feel like, when you're wearing it. It feels like you're like, 'Oh, look at me! I won a Super Bowl!'" Kelce shared. Kelce also admitted that the ring gave him a blister because it's big and clunky on his finger.  "So we all decided — along with a couple other guys on the team — let's just have Rolexes made commemorating the Super Bowl," Kelce said.
