An Unprecedented Look At The Presidency

Rolex Watches In The Oval Office

Today on Presidential Watch Sunday on Jake's Rolex World we are going to take a look at some recent photos of famous people wearing Rolex watches in the Oval Office of the White House.

The last president of the United states that wore a Rolex President (Day-Date Model) was President Lyndon Johnson as seen in the photo below pictured with Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall.

In this next photo (below) we see President Obama meeting with U.S. General, David Petraeus who is head of the U.S. Central Command, in the White House on June 23, 2010.

General Petraeus is wearing his trademark stainless steel Rolex Submariner in the photo above and below.

In this next set of photos we see President Obama meeting in the Oval Office with Bono from U2 who is an anti-poverty activist.

Bono is a fascinating man and very quick-witted. He is an admirer of President Obama, and I remember once I heard Bono say that Obama had once been spelled with an apostrophe "O'bama" as if to suggest Obama was an Irish name.

In the photo above, we see Bono wearing his now trademark Platinum Rolex Day-Date. I say, "now" trademark, because he used to wear a stainless Rolex Datejust.

Academy Award Winner For Best Actress

L.A. Laker's Game

Rolex DEEP-SEA

So we all know it has been very popular for women to wear men's Rolex watches for the last decade and even longer. It is interesting that as the size of Rolex men's watches get larger to see women wearing them as well. In this next set of photos we see Academy Award winning actress Charlize Theron at a recent L.A. Laker's game sporting her Rolex DEEP-SEA.

Congratulations to the L.A. Laker's who recently won the NBA Championship. I really like this L.A. Times photo showing Kobe Bryant as the Laker's won the championship on June 17, 2010.

Rolex Moon Watch Evidence Update NASA Apollo 14 Pepsi Rolex GMT Master

Update: A reader wrote in and asked if this story was about the Pepsi Rolex GMT Master Moon watch I wrote about months ago? No. That Rolex GMT-Master Moon watch belonged to Ronald Evans and went to the moon aboard Apollo 17, as did Jack Swigert's Rolex GMT Master aboard Apollo 13.

First Rolex Moon Watch Proof!!!

Pepsi Rolex GMT Master Moon Watch

NASA Apollo 14

I have been exploring in the NASA archives and I want to give you a significant update, which, for the first time in Rolex history, proves unequivocally, a Rolex GMT-Master was worn on the lunar surface of the moon!!!!

When I first started talking about how NASA Apollo astronauts wore Pepsi Rolex GMT Master watches to the moon and walked on the moon with them, some people thought I was crazy, but today, for the first time, I will prove it beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt.

This first NASA photo is of the NASA Apollo 14 Lunar Module parked on the Moon surface which delivered Dr. Edgar Mitchell and Alan Shepard to the moon surface and returned them to the Service Module.

Apollo 14

Lunar Module Moon Lift-Off

February 6, 1971 18:48:42 UT

Lunar Module Pilot: Dr. Edgar Mitchell

Rolex GMT-Master

The following three photos show Dr. Edgar Mitchell and Alan Shepard as they take-off from the Moon surface to return to the Apollo 14 Command/Service Module in the Grumman-made Lunar Lander module named "Antares." During their moonwalk, Dr. Edgar Mitchell set the all-time record for the longest moonwalk at 9 hours and 17 minutes.

In this first image, we see Alan Shepard putting on his oxygen mask and if you study his facial expression you see a bit of trepidation. After all, he has just experienced the most euphoric experience of his life and he is likely exhausted phyically and mentally–kind of like the way you feel after a full-day of great skiing or snowboarding. He likely realizes if the Lunar Lander does not take-off, they would be stranded on the moon and die.

In the next photo we see Dr. Edgar Mitchell as he prepares the 33,000 pound (15,264kg) Lunar Module (LM) for takeoff–since he was the Lunar Module pilot. We see Dr. Edgar Mitchell wearing his Pepsi GMT Master on his right wrist and we get a clear view of his Rolex Oyster bracelet. He is wearing an Omega Speedmaster Chronograph on a velcro NASA Spec Black Nylon Strap on his left wrist.

In the past, Dr. Edgar Mitchell recalled that he wore his Pepsi Rolex GMT Master on the moonwalk, but there has never been any photographic proof to confirm this fact–until today!!!!

This next photo shows Dr. Edgar Mitchell and Alan Shepard very enthusiastically shaking hands in a euphoric and jubilant moment of exultation as they succesfully take-off in the Lunar Module to return to the Service Module from the moon surface!!!!

This next NASA photo was taken of Dr. Edgar Mitchell and Alan Shepard after they returned from the Moon and were still in a 15 day quarantine in the MSC Lunar Receiving Laboratory at the Lyndon Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Notice, Dr. Mitchell is still wearing his Pepsi Rolex GMT Master on his right wrist.

In the future, I will be publishing much more information on the Rolex Moon Oysters, and to learn much more about Apollo 14 and the Rolex GMT Master watches they wore you can read the article I wrote three years ago.

Men Who Guide The Destinies Of The World Wear Rolex Watches

Several months ago, I wrote an article about Rolex's "Men Who Guide The Destinies Of The World Wear Rolex Watches" ad campaign which ran from the mid 1950s to the mid 1960s. Today, we have another ad from 1956 which I believe is the earliest known ad of this type.
