It was a gift from his Secret Service detail. Jorg Gray sells them.

More recently JorgGray6500, and before that TAG-Heuer sports model(not sure which one) according to Google!

Seems like the president would be giving watch gifts to the Secret Service, not the other way round. Who is taking a bullet here?

Actually, I'm justing trying to get 16 posts so I can get out of purgatory.

If you look at the history, of the President's of the United States it was Rolex watches.

I don't know if its true but i read George W Bush had a Timex Indiglo and
that one of his daughters gave it to him as a b'day present(as if they were trying to make excuses as to why he wore one)

Can anyone confirm that??

IMHO there is nothing wrong with a Timex and no apologies are needed to wear one,i'm sure it kept good time and was reliable!!

Fredke · 29 January 2010, 07:54 PM

That's funny what you say, Everose, about having an excuse to wear a Timex. In France, President has been in trouble because of his Rolex... they called him the "bling-bling" president...

everose · 29 January 2010, 08:14 PM

I just got the feeling they wanted to say it was a sentimental gift......as if they were embarrassed about it....but i could easily have misinterpreted it!!!!

I cannot remember where i read it!!

True, but not sure how he got the Timex. Bill Clinton wore a Timex as well as they had a facility in Arkansas. Although now he has an impressive collection of high end watches.

I always thought Bill Clinton was a Hamilton man!!!!!!!

Thanks Dan for the info

The JFK images Omega uses......is that because JFK wore Omega(i thought he wore Rolex)...or is it because of the Moon Landings association?????

It's rumored that JFK was given an engraved Rolex DD from Marilyn Monroe but gave it to an aide who was ordered to get rid of it. Many think the serial number doesn't correspond with the date it was supposed to be gifted. He did wear an Omega, seen in a famous inaugural picture, now in the Omega museum.

He also wore a classic Cartier tank. It went on auction awhile ago.
