Wrist Shot Of The Day: Andrews Rolex Chronograph On a NATO Strap


Andrew's Rolex Chronograph On a NATO Strap

That's a pretty tight look: the black dial with the simple bezel on the black NATO with the 1000 Units Tachymeter Scale on the dial along with the pushbutton chrono pushers. Gives the watch a vintage military vibe. Very cool!!!!

Flipper Friday
Season 1 [Episode 14: Danger]
Original Air Date: December 19th, 1964

It is really interesting to see how people used to speak to each other. In many ways it was a whole different world. Hap Gorman is a pretty funny dude, and one of the most interesting things about Flipper is how often Porter Ricks dives into the ocean wearing his uniform with his boots and gun ;-)

Rolex Hotness: Tara Reid


Rolex Hotness: Tara Reid
Yellow Gold Daytona

Seinfeld Moment: What is the deal with hot blonde chicks wearing their yellow gold Rolex watches upside down!?!

To see some more upside-down yellow-gold hotness with the upside down Rolex click here. I think more than anything this proves that women like to wear men's Rolex watches as bracelets. It's the whole Tool v. Tiara thing...

Rolex Coolness: Chuck Yeager...


Rolex Coolness: Chuck Yeager

I am working on another huge story that has to do with The Right Stuff, so I thought I would put up this picture of General Chuck Yeager in his Air Force Jet. Really cool stuff and to think Chuck has been wearing a Rolex for 62 years!!!!



This next photo of Chuck Yeager wearing his big crown with no crown guard Rolex Submariner with the orange triangle marker behind the lume pearl on the bezel is one of my favorites!!!

Presidential Watch Sunday: An Unprecedented Look At The Presidency



Presidential Watch Sunday
An Unprecedented Look At The Presidency

"It would be naive to think that the problems plaguing mankind today can be solved with means and methods which were applied or seemed to work in the past. –Mikhail Gorbachev.

Welcome to the ninth 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 two photos are of President Obama meeting with former leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbechev in Gostinny Dvor, Russia on July 7, 2009.

Click on all images for much more detail



In this next photo President Obama is in the Oval Office with former White House Communications director Ellen Morgan with her family on June 24, 2009. The are having an apple break. The White House is filled with bowls of fresh apples for a healthy snack. United States founding father and politician Benjamin Franklin said, "An apple a day helps keep the doctor away."


Football Fun

President Oboma is not only a huge fan of watching football, but loves throwing around the football. He seems to be attached to his Super Bowl football since he is always playing with it. In the photo below, President Obama is photographed with assistant Eugene Kang in the Oval Office on June 24, 2009.


It seems the President is always holding on to his football and in the photo below taken on June 24, 2009 he leans on his Super Bowl football while talking on the telephone.


It almost seems like the football is like Linus' (from the Peanut's) security blanket for President Obama. I think it is very cool!!!


In this next photo we see President Obama playing catch with the football with Trip Director Marvin Nicholson in the outer Oval Office on June 26, 2009. President Obama's Personal Secratary Katie Johnson watches them tossing the ball from her desk. It looks like President Obama has a lot of fun in the White House, which is really the whole point of life if you think about it.


In the next few photos President Obama steps out into the White House Rose Garden to take a break and throw the football on June 24, 2009 with his assistant.
