Well, when Clinton and Obama came to office they didn’t have money. Joe did.
A Misokoshi Speedmaster is my daily wearer (Though honestly, I haven't worn a watch in a while).
A Datejust or Speedmaster are not really expensive watces. They are well within the reach of most moderately affluent people. It's not as though he made a show either way, either by wearing a Casio or a rainbow Daytona.
Modded Speedmaster or a true Mitsukoshi?
No, I agree, but I think there has been a bit of a stigma about wearing a Rolex or even Omega for several pre-Trump presidents.
Obama might not have been WEALTHY when he entered the White House, but he had been in the Senate making > $150k for a couple of years, and his wife was making over $400k at her law firm. He could have had a nice watch if he wanted, he probably just didnt really think about watches.
Fuck off back to your qanon circle jerk support group.
Both. I have a modded one as a daily beater, and man, it is beat, and then a safequeen real deal that I was lucky enough to get. I just can't bring myself to wear that or my Daytona.
Maybe it's my personal bias showing, but I think that Omega does not carry the same baggage as does Rolex.
I got lucky and someone very reputable offered me one at an unmistakably F&F price based on my posts here. It was not a gift, but the price made it a not-not a gift, either. I guess that there are some perks to owning this place. I honestly don't mind having a couple of "safe queens". On the daily, I wear (carry?) a few older Omega references that are covetable but relatively affordable (Mitsu mod, 105.005 and145.017)). My comfort level seems to round out at the $3000-$6000 mark, and above that, I've very much in the "put it away quickly" range. I suppose that that's a personal comfort level. It would just feel weird for me to wear the Zenith Daytona, which I think is apparently around $30K (probably lower since it's been worn a bit). Wearing the equivalent of a not so bad used car is already stretch. It's hard to think of wearing an item that costs as much as a newer car, and not worry about mucking it up. Obviously, ymmv, as people seem to regularly wear watches that are higher than the US median salary.
I'm going to let this stand just so that I can say one thing: no politics in the thread please. If you want to hear even my political opinions, you will have to get yourself over to Current Events.
The exact reason for my post...
