You should be proud father.

You son has a good taste and clear mind. He knows what he likes with a reason. You are right that Rolex is probable not an under-the-radar name, but your son has chosen a model that is discrete in looks with no compromise in quality. I salute his choice and your decision.

What our children teach us

 
 By: 11111 : January 24th, 2019-11:01
My youngest son is preparing conscientiously for the IGSCE's and we intend to give him as a present his first watch after the exams regardless of outcome, as he is working hard. He was not, to my knowledge, horologically interested. His older brothers cho...  

Congratulations

bachelor of medicine. In the graduation party she will get a Datejust with blue dian, Jubilee bracelet and some diamonds. We think the same way. Best Kari

Thanks Kari

I will buy a Patek. My problem is that daughter #3 is also in the med. school and faughter #1 will graduate from a UK university next summer. Bad for me, good for Rolex & Patek. Best Kari

The pain will ease...

.. once you see them on their wrists. I think it does take them a while to discover what goes from their parents into presents like these.

Ii do not think the expect anything.

I’m still paying their studies, flats & living. Small kids like my daughter #4 are so cheap! Lyckily only one of the students have the driving license. Buying two more cars would finally kill me financially. Best Kari

LOL!!

I can feel your pain. I have two others in university in the UK at the moment and I can totally feel your pain.

UK secondary education exams

Truly they don't. One may think they are somewhat distracted, but they are not.

By the way:

I bought the same watch with Jubilee bracelet and blue dial for myself just a week ago. Still I have a few ’more impressive’ watches. Rolex is on my wrist just now while travelling. And I appreciate it a lot. The smooth bezel is great. Best Kari

Most certainly did A matter of Time

Plain Oyster Perpetual..

 
 By: 11111 : January 24th, 2019-12:36
.. but I am hoping for a no date 40 or 41 mm with the 3235 cal., if possible with double baton markers at 3 and 9. This would be perfect for me.

Good one! There is also another crazy option...

40 mm, no fat lugs, brushed bracelet... ...  

I have seen it in photos

 
 By: 11111 : January 24th, 2019-12:43
I am sure the green seconds hand and logo and the yellow symbol must be great looking in the metal. Alas, my watch piggybank is now at an all time low. I showed it to the youngster, but he preferred no numbers.

Ha! :))) [nt]

Although I am not sure he knows what he is getting himself into. After this there is only one way, and it is usually up.

dont worry in this hobby

 
 By: Gelato Monster : January 26th, 2019-03:51
you can go way up, down, sideways you can always find unique excitement and happiness

A great choice that will last several lifetimes! Congrats to your son

And, not to hijack the thread, but I have two daughters graduating from college in the Spring and we’ve gotten them each something very similar To what your son chose that we will present at their graduations in May/June. We told them they could each sele...

That watch will never go out of style.

Indeed..

I agree
