AND
As mentioned above, the current US President wears that famous $50 Timex, which some thought had been stolen from him in his recent Albania trip (there was a thread here on RWG, during my first week as a newbie).

Not sure what I expected, perhaps something plasticky and clunkier, but this is okay.
Oh, and though all the "celeb watch" lists say that ex-PM Tony Blair always wore a $30 Swatch, like this:
I think that's incorrect these days.
In a February issue of Newsweek, which I read awaiting a doctor's appointment, he was portrayed very clearly wearing a
GMT Pepsi Rolex...in his bare feet.
I wonder if he only wore the Rollie privately...
