Rolex Day-Date: Marcinko sidles up to an OMON colonel and clocks the brand-new gold Rolex President on his left wrist, reads it as the mark of a man on Viktor Grinkov's payroll, and greets him by it later. The President is Rolex's own name for the Day-Date on its bracelet; the text gives the gold case and no reference.

Source text: On that wrist was a gold Rolex President watch. (Richard Marcinko and John Weisman, Rogue Warrior: SEAL Force Alpha, Pocket Books, 1998, Internet Archive scan, page image 422; Internet Archive)
