Roman Pearce sits beside Han in the frame on this record, arms crossed, and the watch catching what little light the scene has is gold from lug to clasp: a chunky chronograph with three registers on an integrated gold bracelet. Tyrese Gibson has played Roman since 2 Fast 2 Furious, the ex-criminal childhood friend of Brian O'Conner whose double act with Ludacris's Tej carries most of the franchise's comedy, and in Justin Lin's F9 (2021) the two watch publications that wrote about his wrist both named an IWC Portugieser Chronograph, reference IW371610. That reference is a two-register watch with subdials at twelve and six, sold on a leather strap. Whatever is on Gibson's wrist in this scene, it is not that.
The likelier answer comes from Gibson's own collection. Rubber B's profile of the actor's watches lists two Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronographs, a 42 millimeter reference 26470 and a 44 millimeter reference 26401, and a gold tri-compax on an integrated gold bracelet is the Offshore Chronograph's signature architecture, with the full rose gold 26470OR the closest match in the catalogue. The scene is too dark to read the dial, so no printed reference can settle it; what the frame does show, three registers and a gold bracelet, rules the Portugieser out.
