This article NYT published today has gotten lots of pushback on Twitter, causing “Rolex” to become trending #1 on Twitter, which is quite a big deal.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/22/f...lex-biden.html

Let’s not discuss the politics, but I do agree that the article is crap and sub-standard for NYT. A man who has achieved enough to become president of a country, deserves to wear whatever he wants, even if it’s a jubilee with a smooth bezel.

The most irresponsible article by NYT.

Agree with you! Free country, that includes Biden’s freedom to wear whatever he feels like wearing

sheesh...as if it was a Rainbow Diamond Daytona

It wasn’t that long ago when a Rolex adorned the wrist of US presidents. Something to plan and work hard for - an aspirational piece.

What’s the big problem with him wearing a DJ? It’s not like trump didn’t wear vacheron/pateks...

Imagine if he wore the new 126610LV or the Nautilus... the Twitter world would implode!

What next attack his 1967 Corvette his father gave him, which he still has.

What a stupid article. Jealousy at its worst. Many presidents in the past have worn Rolex. Obama wore a custom made piece given to him by the secret service. Likely not as expensive as Biden's Rolex, but the fact that it was limited edition and so few pieces were made, plus only available to SS agents, that makes it pretty darned special.

Did you see the video of him at the end of his 8 years as VP when he finally got it out of storage? He hadn't driven it in 8 years and still couldn't drive it out in public, but they drove it around in a parking lot with his signature Ray Bans.

JodyHighroller · 23 January 2021, 12:19 PM

Must not be anything else to write about. Simply a ridiculous article.

i think that is totally reasonable. if i had his money i'd have some ridiculous watches lol

Maybe you can only wear a nice watch when you are the former President:

Watch Spotting Former President Barack Obama Seen Wearing A Rolex Cellini
This marks the first time Obama has been seen wearing a luxury mechanical watch – and while it's a Rolex, it's not your average Rolex.

Thread #12 about Biden’s watch, or is it just #11 ?

Very cool show. I saw a fun one where Jay and his crew invited one of the Porsche engineers over and they dissected the PDK in the 2009 Porsche 911 when that first came out. It was pretty cool to see the inner workings of it.

Jerry Seinfeld did a cool episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee where he picked up Obama in a sweet 1963 Corvette Stingray and again, they couldn't leave the grounds so they just drove around the circle drive in front of the White House!

upsidedownbelt · 23 January 2021, 12:28 PM

What a piece of garbage that was. Totally pointless. Biden isn’t wearing a dime store watch, but he also isn’t wearing true luxury brands, he is wearing a Rolex. So...

During his term in office, Obama actually wore a custom made watch that was given to him by the secret service. That's far more special and rarer than a Cellini, since only agents had access to the pieces.

Yep, Biden has a nice old vette, the episode I saw he drag raced Jay in the newest version and while Biden did a nice burnout the new Vette was much faster then his older classic model

Statement from Biden:

“I wear a Rolex because it’s a solid dependable tool watch and I don’t care what anybody else thinks. My watch makes me happy and I go out of my way to make sure nobody else can see it.”

Sound familiar?
