Streamer Adin Ross Just Gifted Donald Trump a Special (and Potentially Inappropriate) Rolex Watch

It looks like many more people will become watch watchers — possibly even those responsible for enforcing federal election laws. On Monday afternoon, Donald Trump went live with popular streamer Adin Ross in a supposed interview with the former president. But the exchange between Ross and Trump quickly devolved into an unboxing video of the latter. During the interview, Ross offered up some seriously expensive gifts, including a Tesla Cybertruck wrapped in a photo of Trump shortly after the assassination attempt. What else was given to Trump? A gold Rolex Day-Date, which, along with the Minecraft-enabled vehicle, may violate Federal Election Commission rules.

Around the 46-minute mark of the interview — which Ross filed under the “Just Chatting” category of streaming platform Kick.com — the streamer presented Trump with a watch. “I hope you like watches, Rolexes,” Ross said, handing over the recognizable Crown box. We know Trump does indeed like watches. The former president has been frequently spotted with a Vacheron Constantin Historiques 1968 and a Patek Philippe Ellipse on his wrist. He’s also been known to wear a Rolex Day-Date while playing golf, which clearly shows a lot of his knowledge of that particular model.

Trump seems to have a very specific understanding of the Day-Date. Looking at his new Day-Date, he said, “This is a great watch. This is a good company. Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and all the golfers and all those guys.” And yes, the Day-Date is popular with golfers — and a lot of other athletes — but the funny thing is that Trump leaves out a very key piece of the Day-Date’s history.

The Day-Date is known as the “presidential” or “presidential” watch. President Lyndon B. Johnson wore the watch during his term, prompting Rolex to run ads calling it the “presidential watch.” Presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Trump have all helped bolster Rolex’s standing over the decades. But Trump’s association with golf is particularly apt, considering many have accused him of spending more time on the golf course than in the Oval Office during his term.

The key concern with Trump’s new watch is that it may violate election laws. The Federal Election Commission, the body responsible for enforcing those laws, states that individuals cannot donate more than $3,300 to the campaign in an election cycle. That limit includes gifts. It’s hard to pin down the exact reference to the Day-Date that Ross presents to Trump in the video — it appears to be a rose gold watch with a green-gray dial — but there’s not a single version of the model retailing for less than $3,300. Most Day-Dates start at $40,000.

Trump isn’t the first president to face a watch dilemma. In 1969, President Nixon famously rejected a gold Omega Speedmaster watch the company made for him after it accompanied NASA astronauts to the moon, citing its high value. Trump, for his part, seems to accept gifts with glee. “I’ve got a few gifts for you,” Ross said before handing over the Rolex. “Oh,” Trump replied. “Good.”
