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.

Fortunately the case stayed off the pavement but a hole was eaten completely through the crystal during the slide. I had the crystal replaced and wore the watch daily for about 10 years. While I was living in Birmingham, Alabama, I met a serious watch tinkerer (bought a Red Sub from him) and he offered to restore it for me -
