My son's graduation !! with a surprise gift!!

So my son graduated last week and he graduated Magna Cum Laude!! We would have been proud of his accomplishment either way but graduating with Honors was a good moment for us....Of course we knew he stood a good chance of accomplishing this so to reward his hard work we decided to introduce him to the world of Rolex....well almost. We gave him the Blue Tudor Heritage Chorono Blue. He and I had been window shopping at a Rolex AD and he really liked the Heritage Chrono. He tried it on and it really looked good on him. Below is a picture of his gift followed by a family portrait.

Beautiful man good for you. Excellent trio.

Can you tell me where you got that band for your wife watch ? Just picked up a DD 36mm for my girlfriend and I'm thinking this might be excellent.
