College grad gift for son...pics inside

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=276800

Decided to go bnib for my sons college graduation gift. Today was the day, I think he really likes it. Been smiling for hours. Sorry about the ipad quality pics.










And of course the wrist shot. His new and my red sub, side by side.
