Biden’s watch

Is Biden wearing a DateJust in this photo with his dog?

The face could be a SkyDweller, but the bracelet appears to be a Jubilee

It’s a datejust, I kinda hoped would wear a daydate. But still pretty classy.

It's a DJ, blue dial. Hodinkee has an article up on it. Another thread here was on it yesterday too.

Wondered how long it would be before this was spotted.

I thought it was a DJ41 with rhodium dial, jubilee and smooth bezel.

Biden wanted the Pepsi so he decided to establish some purchase history with his AD. Unfortunately they didn't have the DJ41 on fluted so he just bought the smooth bezel and felt lucky to get it on Jubilee in the 41mm size, otherwise he would have had to buy a DJ36 black on Oyster. He put a 40% deposit down for the Pepsi but his AD doesn't know when she'll get one in. They only received 2 last year and she didn't say where he is on the list.

Exactly!! Let's see if his left cuff tightens with the 6 digit BLRO in 2023.

I do wonder what would be the scenario if he rolled into an AD back in Nov and Dec like “yeah I’d love to get a Pepsi to wear to my inauguration in Jan”..... ? Like what’s the ad gonna say? “Sorry we have 3 local business owners, 4 guys named Chad, and an elusive surgeon ahead of you, plus you need to buy 200k in Ladies Datejust.....so sorry

Or is it just a “um.....we’ll work on that”. No doubt Rolex would have one at that AD within 24hrs.

To mark the milestone of being elected the 46th President of the United States, he decided to celebrate with a Rolex. He had a different watch in mind, but the AD did not have this available for new customers. However, she knew to call the White House when one comes in and his name is up, though she has no timeline for when that will be.

After purchasing a smooth bezel DJ41 Blue on Jubilee because no fluted bezels were in the case, he was overheard saying to an aide, "My AD said..."

It is good to see him wearing what he likes and not just some low cost brand to look humble. Good taste in watches.

Biden’s watch

He could not get any watches from the AD. They said he was an omega customer and he did not have any purchase history. Rumor has it that he had to get one of those china knockoffs

Just watched President Biden on TV signing a bunch of Covid executive orders. You could easily see the shiny Jubilee bracelet with one quick glimpse edge on of the crystal with the Cyclops eye.

I’m curious as to why what watch Joe Biden (or any particular individual) is wearing is a matter of interest to you guys?
