Rich-
Congrats and Happy Birthday. I don't know who is more excited about this.....you or your Dad. Really a great gesture and I know how appreciative you are for having it. Great party on Friday night too. Glad I got to see you when you were in town. Enjoy that OP Date from......1978? Cheers, Steve |

it is so great to read your story and think of yiur Dad's generosity and your genuine gratitude to him! You are both lucky to have each other and to share something tangible too like that beautiful watch.

I have my dad's Oyster Perpetual as well that he gave me back in the 90's.
Reminds me that I need to wear it the next time I go to visit my folks. Still have all the original documentation, hang tags, and receipt ($202.13 in 1971)
