Getting Dad to love his Rolex again

[John Doyle]

Amazing thing you did for your father-in-law and I'm certain he was extremely happy with the thought! I guess when you live a full and content life, these material things matter much less than before and although we believe it's great to make memories with a watch, what ultimately matters is the now and present regardless of what you are wearing - clothes, accessories or whatever.
Plus it's very possible that he wants to pass it down at some point, and prefers to keep it in pristine condition as opposed to wearing it.
