Eric's Pick
This exact watch was featured in the Hodinkee's popular "What's Selling Where" / "Bring a Loupe" column from December 12, 2014. President Barack Obama was in Missouri on July 30, 2014 and while he was passing a vintage watch shop called "Cool Vintage Watches" in Parkville, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City, he stopped in to take a look. Once inside, President Obama browsed many watches and tried on this exact watch, which he praised. This is a great opportunity to own a Rolex that was admired and worn briefly by the 44th President of the United States.
