Rolex

Well now blue DJ's will be unobtainable too...

 

The blue dial make sense to symbolize Biden's Democratic party and to provide improved contrast for his older eyes. (I want one for my older eyes too!) I agree with other comments that the jubilee bracelet and smooth bezel don't look good together (oyster/smooth, oyster/fluted, and jubilee/fluted are good, but not jubilee/smooth). Aside from the unobtainable "entry level" OP 41, the DJ has a quite useful date, so it really is an "entry level" functional Rolex. Too bad Biden didn't wear an Omega given his collection of them. He could've further elevated the brand by doing so, and the Rolex/Omega battle would've become interesting again. It will also be interesting to see if he embraces American watch brands such as RGM or Weiss after this 'kerfuffle'.

Honestly the noise around this is so silly.

The guy is 78 years old, has worked hard and paid his dues. It’s funny, I don’t think there this negativity about his cars. Granted the 67 Corvette which I’ve seen most was a wedding gift apparently from his father (in 1967), but he does own other vintage... 

Not sure about working hard...

...becoming a multi-millionaire while being a life-long 'public servant' does not sit well with me. That goes for both parties.

+1 ...politicians of all stripes clearly serve themselves, not the public.

A politician's first priority is to get reelected, not to act as a public servant.

I wasn’t making a political statement; I have no dog in this fight.

My personal view on term is that it should be one and done, no such thing as a career politician. That introduces other issues though. My point was, the President of the United States wearing a Datejust should only be of interest to maybe us on this forum... 

Wrist spotting

The subject what presidents wear on the wrist is amusant. The Vulcain story, when Truman get his Vulcain Cricket the staff and friends changed Pateks and Rolexes for a Vulcain watch. The work Jack Heuer did to get a Heuer on the wrist of a Kennedy. A Heue...
