Wonderful! My son had the same watch as our gift for his 18th birthday last year. Congratulations on getting the watch in time. My son’s watch arrived only the week before and I was beginning to panic. He’s no watch guy but he loves it!

For my son's 18th birthday ...

There is still a certain time until then (April), but it's comforting to have already secured this „important“ present for an important day. For me this Airking is one of the most relevant Rolex watches and a star who is still flying under the radar. Func...  

I know the feeling..

Surprised a kid (to me😂) after a national championship martial arts victory with a Seamaster 300...you have to photograph the smile...ear to ear! I like the Air King current and retro at the same time...

LOL!!

No offense, but at 18 I was no more ready to own, or appreciate a Rolex,

I hope he is, that is a nice watch. Congratulations to him on what will be a day for him and family to remember.

I understand what you mean. But...

he is normally very down to earth and humble. Until now, he has never wanted an expensive watch because you have to work too long for it and many people could never afford it. It would be uncomfortable for him. But since he suspected (How??? My second nam... 

He reads this forum?

Congratulations. I completely understand you. My boys are 7 and 5 but I want to do the same thing with them. If they are not ready at 18 I will just wait. My own story is that I got a Tag Heuer when I turned 18. I had wanted this particular model since I ... 

What a wonderful emotional story about your TAG HEUER.

This shows how important and emotional such a present might be. No, I don’t hope he reads this forum. Otherwise he would recognize what a madman I am about watches... 🤡

Lucky kid and nice dad 👍🏻

Thank you 🙏

Wrist shots will follow in a few weeks.

In some respects

my son is much more mature than me. Then I feel like 7 next to him. Hahahahaha

LOL!

I have to correct this.

 
 By: MTR : February 12th, 2021-09:53
In MANY respects.

Why? 😜

Thank you dear FabR! ☺️

Yes, pics will follow. From his wrist, of course. 😎

Great watch...

 
 By: mdg : February 10th, 2021-15:45
...it will be an heirloom for him. I got my son a Rolex for his 30th recently but had to give it to him a few months late. No matter...it's the years ahead that count : )

Hahahaha

 
 By: MTR : February 12th, 2021-09:55
That changes when the years pass faster and faster.

Yes, will do so!

You must be very proud of him.....

An exceptional, very generous gift to him Thomas...

Thanks a lot. I will tell

him in April. ☺️

I will do so.

 
 By: MTR : February 12th, 2021-09:59
But as I wrote already I am afraid then he will recognize how mad I am about watches. And perhaps that might destroy his young innocent soul. LOLLL

Passion

full of madness. 😎

I know. And so....

May I suggest you get the back engraved . I did it for my son’s Batman and it looks fantastic ..

That’s an excellent idea!!!!! Thanks a lot.

I will check this with my AD. Cheers Thomas

You are a great loving father!!!

 
 By: MTR : February 13th, 2021-09:21
I am really impressed. Thank you for this inspiration. It looks and reads wonderful. I am already thinking of what I will write on the case back. And now I realize that still a lot is possible in terms of space. May I ask what‘s the size of your son‘s wat...
