Is That a Rolex on Biden’s Wrist? Recent presidents not named Trump have tended to wear Everyman timepieces such as Timex and Shinola.

President Biden may cast his arrival in the White House as a return to business as usual at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but there’s at least one way he’s breaking from prevailing presidential tradition: he wears a Rolex.

At his inauguration, Mr. Biden laid his hand on the family Bible wearing a stainless steel Rolex Datejust watch with a blue dial, a model that retails for more than $7,000 and is a far cry from the Everyman timepieces that every president not named Trump has worn conspicuously in recent decades.

To many, a president wearing a luxury watch might not seem unusual. Shouldn’t the leader of the free world wear a power watch befitting his position?

To be fair, none of Mr. Biden’s watches scream “luxury,” at least to watch connoisseurs who are acclimated to the thin air of Swiss watch prices.

His Rolex Datejust, for example, is considered an undisputed classic, but in another sense, almost could be regarded as entry level for a brand with head-turners that quickly climb into the five-figures.

Once Big Guy figures out that his watch is "entry level," he's going to want to trade up.

Maybe Hunter can "procure" one for him.

I LOVE SHinola watches. Waiting until I can afford one. Great story behind them. Made in Detroit.

Rolex is just an overpriced watch. You lose it and you've lost 7k.

I have a $25 Timex I can swim with, get dirty, etc....and if I lose it I'm out $25 bucks.

Maybe it was Hunter's, and the Big Guy did a Putin and asked to try it on and never gave it back.

It pays to be the head of a crime family.

If you want to compare parents who raised nutty kids, Biden (who likes to swim naked in front of his Secret Service detail) raised a pedophile drug addict son and a promiscuous daughter who used sex for self-esteem.

Plugs and his wannabe queen “doctor” Jill remind me of the Obammys AND the great quote from Gone With The Wind....Mammy speaking to Scarlett and Rhett when she is trying to act so rich and sophisticated......”Yous nothing but mules in horse harness”!!

A whole article just to defend the Illegitimate President’s choice in watches and to explain why something expensive isn’t really that expensive.

Yeah, a Democrat is now in charge and the media is back to kissing ass and playing defense.

I'm surprised that Scranton Joe didn't get mugged on the Amtrak wearing a watch like that.
