I'm just starting to understand what Rolex stands for, and I'm truly amazed.

Rolex oyster perpetual date

Great story and a great watch, I also inherited my love of high end watches and Rolex specifically from my grandfather when I inherited his GMT (daily worn for 33 years until his death) and my great grandfather's Omega Constellation. I have already started my little brother down the same trail by buying him a vintage Omega Seamaster for his high school graduation this past summer.
