No, as he says “You can’t imagine how many of these cycles I have seen and endured” and his D-D shows it... suits him well.

He is an awesome guy! I love his energy policy! Promoting natural gas over oil!

Awesome - that piece looks amazingly beautiful with that aging. And who wouldn't want to be an oil tycoon. I just watched 'There Will Be Blood" for the eighth time over Thanksgiving (love that film)... and am completely enamored with the oil industry history as a whole.

And look at that watch. Stretched, dented, and scratched. Just as they should be.

But still enduring and going string - not unlike the man himself.

He could have 20 Rolexes, if he wanted... I know nothing about the man, but I would bet that is his only one and he loves it. Probably a 6 million 1980 serial #

That's a true wheeler dealer right there.

I love seeing a guy's watch like that. One you know he's worn for decades and given little thought to another. More than once Ive seen an old DJ, or DD that had a bracelet looking ready to come apart at any second. If the situation is appropriate, I will ask about the watch, and every time I have, Ive come away with a good, if not great story. Usually something about a milestone, or a gift.

The safest place for your watch is on your wrist.
