Legendary former professional football quarterback Tom Brady was filming this week with Dude Perfect, a YouTube channel best known for its fun content that involves trick shots and stunts. Tom Brady joined the team for a game of Balloon Duck Hunt where they tried to pop balloons with a football.

The upper and lower jaws hold the ruby of the tourbillon cage, while the back of the skull becomes the center bridge, and the bridges double up as the crossbones of a pirate flag. Price on request.
