Barack's Obama Watch

I received a Pubic Bank Visa Credit Card mail-order catalog on Obama's watch. Something really interesting, cuz i never knew what watch Mr President wears all this while and in my wild imagination it must be some sort of expensive Swiss Made such as Omega, Rolex or perhaps Patek.



I was wrong. The watch that he wears is a custom (Secret Service) logoed watch produced by an unknown company in US called Jorg Gray. The watch and the company was heavily criticized in this blog --> http://www.watchblogs.com/general/the-un-american-origins-of-barack-obamas-watch/

From what i understand the movement in this watch is based on JAPAN Movement by Citizen.

In my humble opinions, its surely not a Swiss Made marque with automatic movement or tourbillion, but it is a decent looking watch. And the best part is that the watch is wear by The First Black President of The United States of America make it really.... errrmmm unique.

The quoted price in the mail-order was RM1200 and it comes with an engraving "The President..." on the back of it.

I was seriously thinking of buying it....but does it worth it??

Yeah, it´s a very good watch.
I am a watch fan. i have many "swiss made" however for some reason I like this one more than others - may due to its simple pure style which is easy to use at any occasion - may be due to Barack :-)
