Men who guide the destinies of the world wear Rolex watches

A simple but classic slogan from May 1957 Rolex advertisement.

It's true!

Although nowadays, wearing a solid gold presidential isn't viewed with respect. Rather, animosity.

Respect should come from the life one leads in order to acquire - not their financial position to instill jealousy.

The only significant recent political figure to wear a rolex recently has been Dick Cheney.

His was a YG Presidential - in many ways - it was appropriate =)

Says the datejust changes automatically "at midnight" I learned the other day that this is not the case it changes 5 minutes after and apparently this is above average performance
