It is really a traditional Day-Date in every way possible except that the day of the week is written in Spanish,it tres cool in our eyes.

It's a shame too, because white gold can easily be mistaken for steel, and to us, the Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Chronograph Calibre XTA320 watches ability to don a watch of extreme importance and not have anyone know it is the way to roll. Now the President was never made in steel by Rolex, but Tudor did make one for a very short period of time, so white gold is as close as you're going to get to a "sport" President. This one also happens to be a German market watch, as you can see in the picture. Our favorite of the bunch, for sure.
