Film star association like Paul Newman or Steve McQueen only make watches more desirable I think.

It's a bit different though, no? McQueen's and Newman's Rolex watches were worth the same as any before it was found on their wrists. This one is one of a kind, and had incredible provenance PRIOR to Brad Pitt receiving it. I don't think the engraving devalues it, but I also don't think it will appreciate in value due to his ownership. The watch is so incredibly valuable in its own right, Pitt doesn't matter. I can't believe she engraved it with their character names from an upcoming movie -- so disappointing for a watch like this to be marked with some random movie that, for all we know, could totally bomb.
