The Breitling Watch Source Forums

By looking at the photos below, could someone please tell me what watch they think the U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson is wearing?









Thanks!

Looks like a Timex Ironman, not quite sure of its age, but it appears to be an older model. Maybe mid 90's?

Its a shame, that a man in his position has no style to get himself a decent watch but has such a piece of crap on his wrist instead.

An executive at my company wears a mickey mouse watch. He has gold Rolex watches as gifts (companies awards program) but only wears that watch. It was a gift from his father when he was 9, last gift before his father passed away. Maybe its the same situation ?

Could be Altair. Another possibility is that he just isnt into watches like we are. Everyone has their guilty pleasures, maybe he views a watch as just a source of time, but at the same time he could have a deep love for sailboats, or cars. I would find it hard to write a check for a ferrarri if I had the money, but you better believe I would run to my nearest Vacheron or Patek AD and pick out something of equal value with no trouble.

To each there own I suppose. Still, I do think its kind of embarrassing to wear such a watch everyday if your work attire is a suit. I get that you dont want to spend a ton on a watch, but it should work with your wadrobe regardless of price.

If he sold maybe twenty five of his 3.2m GS shares he could get a really nice piece...

Inspired by another recent post...
Maybe he and his secretary plan an 'intimate' moment in a hot tub straight after the meeting. He probably left his Breitling safely at home, his investment too valuable to risk during vigorous unvestment.

I had that watch! For all you timex haters I thought it was pretty cool when I bought it, early 90's. FYI: the software doesnt work on anything besides Win98. Oh and you need a CRT screen.

I was 12 when I got that watch. It amazed me that my watch could talk with my computer.

chance- it was walmart but i paid $50 for it thank you. Probably one of the more expensive watches walmart sold.

Sorry flyboy not very good at quoting wal mart prices. I probably would have been proud of it at 12 years old too. I think I was rockin' the wild colored swatch's with the rubber bands that went over the crystal back then!

I didn't mean to come off as offended chance. I just re-read my reply and it sounded alittle harsh. I only meant it in a jokingly manner. but ya the watch was pretty cool for its time. Come on having your phone numbers and calender on a watch was something else for me.

No offense taken. Im just havin' fun
