Arrow I'm looking for a very special watch!

Everybody's looking for new watches, everybody's buying new watches, everybody has vast collections of wonderful, very expensive watches and I want to join in on the fun.

The watch I've selected, the one I want more than anything in the world, is one I've only seen once, but it looked like something I really needed to own. I've gotta have one.

Thing is, I don't know what it is and hope that someone here who really knows fine stuff can help me identify this particular timepiece and point me in the right direction.

I have a picture if that will help . . . .

Please, Please, someone, help me out.

The two-tone strap made me think of Rolex and after a quick Google, I learned that he owned quite a few ones. So I would guess it's a Rolex day date with a steel and gold (or white gold/yellow gold) strap.

According to sources he wears a yellow gold Rolex day date most of the time.

I guess the Feds didn't notice it on his wrist when he ran into tax issues.

Yeah, I bought me one of those Rolexes last time I was in New York. Got it from a guy who had a Rolex stand out on the street at 179th.

I got mine for only $79.00 and it worked great until the battery died and I've gotta get another battery soon cause I can't tell time without my Rolex.

I'd send it to Rolex so you know it is done correctly and with the right battery.
