#1 US President George W. Bush is a very modest person: he wears a 50-dollar Timex Indiglo watch.

Heh, for some reason this just makes me like Bush all the more.

#2 Heh, spot-on AzCat. I prefer men (and women) who've gotten past compensation mode. Every watch is right twice a day, but I'll bet that little Timex works just as well as the watches of the challenged guys... Heh, he's known for his punctuality. They're known for, um, other things.

#3 I wanted to throw in a comment that they probably got their watches from some dude in an elevator.

In reality, I doubt any of them actually got their watches for list price... do you really think there's $ 500,000.00 worth of stuff in Silvio Berlusconi's wristwatch? What does it have, a dilithium crystal?

#4 Some people like me destroy watches. GWB may be one. Why pay more than 50 bucks for a watch that will last a year max do to how you treat it, your body chemistry and how much static charge you carry?

"This is not my beautiful house..." very good.
