Rolex

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...  

To you, for bringing up a son with such methodology and thought. Congrats to him on picking a watch that will stay with him a lifetime

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

Those are wonderful choices of watch and career. I wish your daughter success and fulfillment. She has chosen wisely. Best Benjamin

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

.. 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.

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

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

What are the ISCGE's?

All in one go. They do need to work hard.

Big congrats to both of you! Cheers D

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

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

I keep repeating this to myself Dangerous place

Luckily for me, I have a difficult trigger.

Most certainly did A matter of Time

.. 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.

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

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.

.. it will happen. In good time. Be well and keep posting those wonderful photos. Benjamin

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 a... 

excellent starting choice wish him all the best on IGSCE

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.

you can go way up, down, sideways you can always find unique excitement and happiness

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... 

I wish you daughters well in their academic endeavors. Best Benjamin

That watch will never go out of style.

It is a wise choice
