Prior to Monday night's game between the Browns and Jets, Odell Beckham Jr. was spotted (once again) with what appears to be a very expensive watch on his left wrist:
According to Cleveland.com, the timepiece is not the same nearly $200,000 one that caused a stir in the Browns' Week 1 beatdown at the hands of the Titans. Instead this one is acrylic with silver accents, and also appears to be a super pricey Richard Mille. WKYC reports that the watch looks like a RM 56-02 Tourbillon Sapphire and is worth around $2 million.

"It is a player safety matter for both the player wearing the item and other players. The matter will be addressed with the team and the player."
Just a few days after Cleveland's Week 1 drubbing, Beckham indicated that he would indeed don another one in the future:
At that time he also said he hadn't heard anything from the league:
