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.

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. |

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

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. |

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.
