Re: Yes, He Wore the Secret Service Watch

Was Biden wearing an Omega?

: Indeed, the question of "which watch?" has been an
: important topic of discussion here in the US of A.

: I have checked the photos, and can confirm that he wore the
: "Secret Service" watch, both for the actual
: inauguration and for the balls, during the evening. The watch
: looked a little strange with the tuxedo, at the balls, but it
: looked perfect while he took the oath, with his left (watch)
: hand on the Lincoln Bible.

: Of course, I was hoping that he might switch back to the TAG-Heuer
: for this historic day, but he stayed with the Secret Service
: watch, which he has worn for apporximately 18 months. I suppose
: this one has become the "lucky watch".

: Here is an item of trivia for you: there are exactly 12 of these
: watches, produced with the Secret Service logo; Obama has one,
: and I have one . . . maybe we start a registry to try to find
: the other 10? Unfortunately, the knock-offs have already arrived
: (selling for $325), but they cannot have the actual Secret
: Service shield.
