The wrist-wear of president replica Rolex has always fascinated us – and when I say “us” I mean basically all watch-loving brethren around the world – because we know why we wear a fake watch, but the concept of the most powerful man in the world taking the time out of his day to choose a particular wristwatch seems so amazing. My old friend Eric Wind has been keeping a running list of all presidential timepieces here, but this morning we have a new replica watch to add to the list, and it belongs to our most recent ex-president. Mr. Barack Obama, less than a year out of office, is now a Rolex man.
But we’re not talking rolex Submariner or Daytona here, or even pulling the ultimate presidential move in wearing a “President” (Day-Date). Nay, former President Obama is a Cellini man! He was spotted wearing the white gold time-only Rolex alongside Prince Harry at Toronto’s Invictus games over the weekend, and my friend Jeff Stein has done some image grabbing to make sure we wouldn’t miss it.
The watch itself is a Rolex Cellini, a 39mm white gold wristwatch with white dial. The price is very cheap, which made it by far the most affordable replica watch Obama has been spotted wearing. As a matter of fact, as Jeff Stein has written, you could buy his entire five-watch collection of watches that he wore. We all knew that eventually Mr. Obama would be seen in something a bit more refined than his usual Jorg Gray – Jeff himself has long posited that he could tell Obama was certainly a watch guy – and his democratic predecessor Bill Clinton famously wore a Timex in office only to become famous as a serious collector of Panerais, Zeniths, JLCs, and even Langes!
