Presidential Watch Sunday: An Unprecedented Look At The Presidency

Presidential Watch Sunday

An Unprecedented Look At The Presidency

"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past." –Thomas Jefferson (Third President Of The United States from 1801-1809).

Welcome to the eighth installment of Presidential Watch Sunday. I would like to thank the White House and Pete Souza (The Official White House Photographer) for giving us unprecedented access to photos of the United States Presidency.

This first photo is of First Lady Michelle Obama with President Obama on July 4, 2009 on the national mall in Washington D.C., as they enjoy the fireworks.

This next photo was taken on the South Lawn of the White House as the Foo Fighters play an Independence Day concert for United States military families.

Earlier in the day, on the Fourth of July, President Obama is photographed kissing a baby while greeting United States military families.

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are seen below greeting American military families at the White House on the 4th of July, 2009.

In this next photo we see U.S. military families enjoying the 4th of July festivities on the White House South Lawn.

This next photo is profound if you think about it. President Barack Obama admires a portrait of former United States President Abraham Lincoln in the Oval Office on June 29, 2009.

Family Man

In this next photograph taken in the Oval Office on February 2, 2009 we see President Obama relaxing on a sofa with his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha.

Original Air Date: December 8, 1965

Today's episode of I Spy takes place in Tokyo Japan and we got a superb wrist shot. I mean this wrist shot looks like it was taken today!!! I am so stunned by the wrist shot from this episode of I Spy it makes me wonder if this is the first Rolex wrist shot it history. I mean, the whole composition is perfect, with the Mercedes steering wheel in the background behind the Pepsi GMT Master!!!

Also, Robert Culp and Bill Cosby's style is unmistakably cool!!! I mean, I have never seen two cats that look cooler!!! From the slip on Vans with the pegged khaki tan jeans in the opening scene to the ascot and shades in the pic below!!! Super coolness!!!!

Carmel By The Sea Rolex GTG

August 7th, 5pm

Hi Everybody!!!

Sheldon Smith of Minus4Plus6.com and I have organized the second San Francisco Rolex GTG and this time it will be taking place in Carmel, California the week before the Pebble Beach Concourse d' Elegance on August 7th, 2009.

When: Friday, August 7th at 5pm.

Where: Carmel, California

Cost: $40 Per Person + Drinks.

All are welcome to attend and have a great time discussing watches as well as see some extremely rare Rolex watches. There is always great discussion and commentary as well as a great dinner. If you are not familiar with the term, GTG stands for Get Together.

Update:

This is Truly going to be an event of historic proportions. We will have on display, some of the rarest Rolex watches on earth including the actual Rolex DEEP-SEA SPECIAL that Jacques Piccard had attached to the outside of his Bathyscaphe Trieste when he set the absolute world depth record in 1960 when he traveled to the bottom of the Marianis Trench (35,800 Feet) in the Pacific Ocean. (This extremely rare watch and historic watch is rarely seen in public).

This event will also have four of the most coveted Rolex dive watches in history, including Jacques Verpeaux's JANUS IV COMEX SEA-DWELLER as well as the original SINGLE-RED SEA-LAB SEA-DWELLER and a Patent Pending 1665 Double Red.

Eric Ku, of 10PastTEN.com will emcee the event walking us through the various vintage models. After the viewing, we will go to dinner to share Rolex stories. (Kind of like Summer Camp with ghost stories, except Rolex stories for Rolex enthusiasts.)

We have a reserved private meeting room as well as a special menu, and everyone covers their own meals and drinks. Dinner should be appoximately $40/person.

The event is limited to 40 people, including spouses. To RSVP or learn more, please contact Sheldon Smith: sheldon@minus4plus6.com
