That's an awesome bike. I've ridden the Specialized Roubaix a few years ago in Belgium. Our team had a one race deal sponsored by them. Those bikes really soak up the harsh cobblestones. I'll definitely post pics when I get the Madone.

You can't not love the blnr. Great gift op, all class.

TimeOnHand · 14 September 2016, 10:29 AM

Well Done mate!

SemperFi · 14 September 2016, 11:12 AM

Good for you Chad and congrats to your Dad.

Niiiice!

Hairdude1 · 14 September 2016, 01:49 PM

Very nice

gossbeau · 14 September 2016, 01:58 PM

Warm story Chad! Way to go

Rare to see a Rolex be "passed up"

DeeTee · 14 September 2016, 02:12 PM

Good man!
Bought my dad the same watch for Father's Day for putting up with my ass

thedave · 14 September 2016, 04:10 PM

More often than not I think of my dad when looking at my Rolex. We didn't have much growing up, but my dad often talked about owning a Rolex. I could buy it for him now, but he's no longer with us. His love of watches, despite his income, is a huge part of my life.

This is a fantastic gesture.

BBL · 14 September 2016, 05:49 PM

Love the stories of children and parents and how Rolexes are entwined to make their closeness more special.

1William · 14 September 2016, 08:49 PM

Congratulations to your father.

RMC12 · 14 September 2016, 08:52 PM

Excellent! Congrats to your Dad and to you for being a good guy!

HA!!! I was actually the "good" son. My older brother was the pain in the ass. Well, I'm sure I had my moments.

Thank you everyone for all the nice comments. If he wasn't so opposed to flying, I'd try to get him out to Vegas next spring.

mtime87 · 15 September 2016, 02:17 AM

Very nice gesture ... Congrats

Rolex addict · 15 September 2016, 10:15 AM

Got a nice surprise!!! I've been looking for a new style bracelet for my 16622, but it has been very difficult. For a while, my AD said they couldn't get one. I got a call today that they have one for me. Picking it up tomorrow, so it's almost like a new incoming for me. I'll post pics once it's installed.

tkerrmd · 15 September 2016, 10:28 AM

Very nice my friend!!

Droolex · 15 September 2016, 11:03 AM

I'd love to do the same for my old man some day.

RichM · 15 September 2016, 11:14 AM

Very thoughtful Chad.

bjw · 15 September 2016, 11:41 AM

You're a good son. Congrats to dad!

Investr · 15 September 2016, 12:10 PM

Good stuff Chad!! Take a look at the Specialized Tarmac and Venge as well. Enjoy!!
