Joe Biden = Bond Fan?

So I was reading the coverage of the Obama-Biden (Joebama?) announcement yesterday in the local paper and in the photograph that accompanied the article I recognized a VERY familiar watch. It seems that Biden was wearing the Omega Seamaster Professional...AKA The Bond Watch.
So you think he's a forum member? haha.

It is well known that John Kennedy was a huge fan of Fleming's work. He read all of the books, had a private screening of a movie and even read some Fleming the night before he was assassinated.
I was just wondering if the Bond phenomena had factored in to Biden's purchase. Hence the pondering of whether or not he a forum member.
That's all folks.

No, just mentioning a political figure will not get the topic closed. If the topic turns into a partisan slugfest, though, it will get the boot. So, without telling anyone who I plan to vote for, I'll say that just wearing an Omega Seamaster doesn't automatically make someone a Bond fan--but it does usually mean he has more money than the rest of us!
Bond fan or not, I thought it was nice to see a politician with a little taste. God, I'm sick of seeing politicians wearing timex's, cheap gaudy ties that aren't even knotted properly, and shapeless sack suits.
A agree. How many times do we have to see a Timex or Casio strapped to the wrist of a prominent person wearing a suit who is trying to come off as the "everyman?"
The tie thing is funny. I grew up in Milwaukee and Don Nelson who coached the Bucks in the late 1970's to mid 80's was famous for his wearing of the Ralph Marlin fish tie...I don't recall his watch of choice though.

That's right, he also has the same initials as Jacques Boitier, so maybe he is a SPECTRE agent in disguise ?
I don't know about that...I think I would rather spend some quality time with Agent Triple X (Anya Amasova) rather than Deca X.
Incidentally, I actually met Agent Triple X about 10-15 years ago at Summer Fest in Milwaukee. Ringo was playing in town with his All Star Band. She was probably late 40's early 50's and still looked great.
