Joe Biden Wears the Same Watch as James Bond
Joe Biden wears as an Omega Seamaster 300m watch, which watch experts speculate James Bond wore in at least one recent 007 movie. It's water resistant up to 300 m beneath the surface, which will be great when he and Barack take a male-bonding trip to Hawaii and go scuba diving together. The watch usually retails for around $2,000. [Luxist]
