Mitt Romney's Election Time Wrist Watch
In November of 2012 the United States will hold another presidential election and if you are like me you are wondering, "what watches are the candidates wearing!?" Fortunately I don't vote based on watch preferences - which would be silly in this country because the watches our candidates wear are actually political signals these days. And by the way, my interest in the watches politicians wear is purelynot political.President Obama has been wearing the same watches for several years - being the Jorg Gray JG 6500 watch that I reviewed here. Obama is fiercely loyal to the watch having worn it since he was campaigning back in 2008.

Speedy advice
OK having a decent collection of Rolex and looking to add some variety ive always been intersted in the speedmaster moonwatch, (ive got a PO and cant fault it) Now im not really up to speed(no pun intended) on the models nor the pricing, i like the idea of the plexiglass as a vintage point of view.I went into one of the local AD's last night and got offered one for about $3400usd with the massive omega box(loupe,straps ect...)Is this a decent price or am i paying for packaging... after all you dont wear the box lol! its very cool but its going to live in the cupboard with all the other ones.Should i look for an older second hand pre special packaging? or is this a decent price for this set?just looking for some knowledgeable opinions cheers

What Leather Strap for DJ 36mm or DJ II (41mm)?
What recommendations does anyone have for a leather strap for either of these watches?I am trying to help a friend find a nice automatic watch with roman numerals and a date and a brown leather band. Its not that easy to find, so I thought one option is to find the right watch and then add the leather band. I'd love to see any pics of a SS DJ with brown leather band.
