I think the next president should be a Submariner.

Do we have your vote?

I've always wondered what my bluesy would look like with a president bracelet on there and that settles that

Maybe if it didn't have the SS casing

Maybe if Hillary dove more, Bill wouldn't need interns...

Would that qualify?

I was thinking something similar. But there are no Sub officers running! McCain is a naval aviator, and his dad was a Sub officer.

Bush's Dad (the former President) was also a Navy Aviator. He flew an Avenger torpedo bomber, and took a submarine ride after going down in the Pacific. Does that count?

I believe former President Jimmy Carter was a submariner during the war as well. Sorry, I should know that one for sure, we're both from Georgia!

If you were to put a serti dial on that one, it would stray about as far from the original Submariner concept as you could get.

I agree that it looks kinda odd. I also would love to see it on an all YG sub. Might not look so bad.

Not very aesthetically pleasing (imho), but having a gold case would probably make a world of difference.
