I was very surprised when I visited my parents today, and my dad handed me his vintage Datejust and said "Have this! I don't wear it anyway. Please wear it"
His DJ was hardly worn except for weddings, and it was in pristine condition with full box and papers.
I had helped him service it a few years ago, and while I admired the tapestry dial, the two-tone combination was a bit too retro for me.
Stunned as I was to receive it, I promised him I wouldn't just put it in the safe, and that I'd wear it.
So here it is, with full box, papers, even the initial purchase receipt, but importantly, imbued with a whole lot of heart. Thanks Dad!
