Gave Mom her first Rolex for Mother's Day/her 60th B-Day

I think I actually left her speechless. It looks perfect on her and as a woman who wouldn't spend more than $200 on a watch, but always admired my acquisitions, it was high time she joined the club.

I guessed her wrist size perfectly too, and it makes me so happy to see her wearing it around with pride. She has been awesome to me all my 30 years and being able to show how much she means to me was priceless.

Wrist shots! She has the White Datejust with Romans, I'm rocking my President.





In closing, maybe we should make this a gifts thread! A gift watch you got or one you got another, nothing feels better than sharing the wealth sometimes.

Kudos to you. I think we all get wrapped in acquiring watches for ourselves, so it's fantastic to see you do something in return for all the awesomeness you've received.

The fact that she's admired your acquisitions (some mother's wouldn't) makes the gift on her 60th even more special.

Good on you
