    At the end of the day @66Mustang, he could do the job wearing whatever he likes as long as he does a good job for those who voted him in, and everyone else. Those things will become an issue for the masses if he doesn't.

    I agree with you, I’m not taking the opposite view was just wondering what others thought as for some reason the watch caused quite a bit of controversy.

    To be honest, is a $7,000 watch really all that significant when the president also gets their own plane and the presidential car costs hundreds of thousands of dollars?

    It could be argued that one of the, if not the, most powerful people on earth needs a good watch as it’s important he’s always on time :D

    The Dalai Lama has apparently very very few possessions, as you might expect, but one thing he does treasure is a watch. I have no idea if it is an expensive watch but nevertheless it is something that he values. 

    So president Biden having a watch is not a big deal, Rolex or not. In fact I’d expect him to have a Rolex and at least one very expensive suit ?

    Glad to see the back of trump, a petulant man child, good luck to the incoming president, he has his work cut out for him, i missed him wearing a rolex, nothing much to say about that, but i can see it getting peoples backs up, but for me its just a watch

    Has anyone watched the inauguration? If so, what did you think?  I caught some of it during my break and enjoyed the pomp and ceremony of it all.  I also thought Amanda Gorman's poem was beautifully written and exceptionally delivered too.

    We recently discussed our hopes for Joe Biden's presidency and I wondered if you welcomed today's transition of power?  Let me know  :)
    I for sure did watch it. I love the way that America is so 'over the top' the singing of their national anthem and America the beautiful just gave me goosebumps, the reading of the poem from that young lady Amanda was just amazing too :) if only we did things that way in England!
