Will that be Cash or Credit Sir..?

Does Senator Obama really wear a Zenith Classic series wristwatch [vintage or modern] ? (which via their marketing, they even have a “rock star”line series)

If so I think the $150K for Gov. Palin’s Travel wardrobe is only pennies per item, compared to the 5K (st/steel) to 17K (18kt) price tag on one wristwatch.

Let just say for arguments sake, that the watch brand is moot… the fact that the wristwatch is retail price is of higher value than my 94 BMW 325 coupe is a bit scary, I know it’s Halloween, Can I say that he’s(Senator Obama) got the treat, and we’ve been tricked..

I remember when Gov. Bill Clinton ran for President and he wore a Iron man Timex for the campaign and most of the first 4 years in office.

– – ok if you think this is just fluff to pull you away from the other real issues, just remember when it’s 3am and that telephone rings, the wristwatch on the nightstand could be valued at the same price as you child’s college tuition, or your families yearly insurance premium, or better yet, the value of the watch really isn’t 5k or 17K, but just because it’s SWISS made, content of 18kt white gold.. But Senator Obama, felt the need to purchase it anyway, maybe it’s a his way of “SHARING THE WEALTH”, The MSRP is what the market will bare, and in this case a trip to a well heeled jeweler will offer the full line up of Zenith wristwatches.

[short history of Zenith founded in 1865….1969, became the first chronograph in the world equipped with a winding crown with central rotor…. time travel to present century, 1984 became part of the Movado watch co. , and as of this writing now a  subsidiaries of L.V.M.H group [LVMH Moët Hennessy • Louis Vuitton S.A in 1999].

Last an final word on this, is he may have many watches, as do I, but I am not running for the highest office to be held by an American citizen., you are very welcome to correct me on the Brand name of the watch, as I’ve love to be wrong and find out it was a vintage Timex, that had “US Time” signed inside the case back, since Timex was a US made watch at one time..(sorry about pun)
