Did anyone see President Obama on Letterman last night? Obama's watch looked to be stainless (maybe wg?) with a black leather band, but I couldn't determine what kind of watch it was....it did look elegant.
Anyone catch that? Thanks!

I was watching the office a hour earlyer and saw a commerical with obama being on lettermans show, but i did not see the watch. Also just to throw this out there "How does he have time to go on the letterman show,shouldn't he at in the white house signing more bills?"

Eddie,
It was a gift from his Secret Service detail during the campaign. Mike, a fellow TRF member, has one and I was luck enough to check it out at the Vintage GTG.

Just adding on to Dan's info. It's made by Jorg Gray. The model is a 6500 Chronograph. Here is a link if you'd like to check it out.

He's back to wearing the Tag Heuer professional diver now and then as well, which is a thousand times better than the SS Chronograph.

He has good taste , i wonder if the president is a WIS......

datejust1 · 24 October 2009, 05:51 AM

He also wears a Tag Heuer 2000 on a leather strap
