World Cup 2022: Harry Kane wears 600,000 euro rainbow watch to support LGTBIQ+ community

If this World Cup has been characterized by anything thus far, it's the huge controversies it has generated regarding human rights and freedom of expression in Qatar.

Several European teams wanted their captains to wear a rainbow 'One Love' armband as a sign of solidarity with the LGTBIQ+ community, but that decision changed when FIFA announced that those wearing one would be shown a yellow card and be fined.

Following the decision, players haven't remained silent and have looked for alternate ways to get their message across.

Germany had all their players pose in the pre-match photo with a hand covering their mouths as a sign of protest. Now, England's Harry Kane has made his own gesture.

Harry Kane's rainbow Rolex

Following FIFA's ban on the 'One Love' armband, Kane has found an alternate way to show his support.

The England striker is now wearing a rainbow watch, a Rainbow Rolex Daytona composed of 36 sapphires and 56 diamonds that make up the LGTBIQ+ flag.

The piece is currently valued at 630,000 euros, though it was available for 150,000 euros a few years ago.

This new piece has now gone viral, but many are wondering if this new gesture will result in any sort of reprimand from FIFA.
