Meaningful lineage from my late mother’s oyster perpetual to my op land-dweller !
When land-dweller came out I had a feeling it seemed like my late mother’s one and only Rolex because of the fluted bezel. Only now I realized both were from the op line !
With humble beginnings, my father in his 70s finally bought my mom a Rolex with his retirement savings, even though she did not ask for it. He appreciated that she married him although he was poor. It was a BIG deal for them because it was a lot of money for a watch from their perspectives. Prior to this watch, my mom wore inexpensive quartz watches. When she received her Rolex, she hardly wore it because it was simply too precious for her. Naturally at my wedding she had the courage to don it.
After my mom’s passing my father gave it to me because I am his only one out of three children with daughters.
Issue now is which daughter to pass it on to ? A most difficult decision for me! Suggestions ?
Do you have such lineage watch stories ? If so, please share !
There are lines between the home combs although hard to see

Congratulations on both counts!
Continuing the legacy with your mom’s cherished watch and also scoring the Land-Dweller! I purposely stay away from visiting my AD regarding this watch, but I have very high respect for Rolex due to the technical aspects of this movement and the overall p...
Hi Zsolt, thanks for your kind comments ! It is a
40mm and the honeycomb looks amazing in the metal 👍
Very nice to have a family heirloom
to pass down one day. If it were me, I’d find the same watch your mother left you and buy it so both daughters could have the same model. The only way I can think of to be fair on who would receive your mother’s actual watch is a coin flip or something si...
Great idea in buying another one so all is
even and fair ! Thanks for thinking outside the box 👍 Wish your AD will be calling you to allocate the LD💪
Thank you for sharing your story, Gordon.
Like Steve suggests, I think I would buy two watches similar to your mother’s one and give one to each of your three daughters. I don’t know if you can afford it but if you can, it seems like a good way to go for me. Congratulations on acquiring the LD, w...
Yes Emmanuel, the LD looks 👀 great on the wrist !
Fortunately I only have two children 😃 If I had three, I will have some explaining to do !🤣
If you have two, then everything's fine! 😊
And, yes, the LD is very nice on the wrist. 36 mm was the best fit for me. Cheers, Emmanuel ...
No, because I already have my Alpine Eagle and don't wear bracelet watches often.
But the LM is really nice and it speaks me more than many other Rolex watches.
What can I say Gordon….
PP, AP and now Rolex VIP 💪🏻👏🏻 Got to teach us how to score these highly sought after models at such a short time frame 😊 Big congrats 🎊. PS: No need to worry which daughter to pass the OP to. When the time comes, the ones that appear in your heart will be...
