Jorg Gray JG 6500: The President Barack Obama Watch Review

You can read the text in the image, but the gist of it is that it details the watch as being a Barack H. Obama commemorative edition watch. The important part here is the unique serial number. It is very rare for watches in this price range, 0r this volume of production for that matter, to have unique identifiers. It is a nice touch for a collector's watch, and something Jorg Gray is proud to tell you.The watch itself is styled mainly after traditional aviator watches. This is seen in the hands, hour indicators, and contrast of black and white colors. You'll notice the 12 o'clock marker as being that of the "typical" pilot watch.Only a few select models held the Secret Service logo, and they quickly sold out from the Secret Service's gift shop. You may still be able to get them there, but I wouldn't venture to Washington DC just for the chance. The Secret Service didn't want the logo being on the special watches being made to fulfill the demand for the Barack Obama watch - it was just not the purpose the intended for their branded watches. I understand their perspective, but it would have been cool to have a true copy of what Obama has - a minor point though. Another difference is the message on the rear of the watch that is laser etched into the caseback.
