Gonna engrave a Daytona Ceramic?!
Well we won the National championship few weeks ago. My son on my pit crew saved us over a minute in the pit stop. We won by less than that.
thinking of engraving the Daytona C I just gave him?? with this to remember the year and our great relationship... thoughts??

Absolutely.
Engraved watches are time honored gift. It's one of the reasons that Rolex keeps their case-backs clear and flat.

I think it's a great idea. That's the way a Rolex should come from a father to a son.
Congratulations on the win |

Huge congrats. I'm not big on engraving myself, but if it makes you feel good in commemorating the win, then definitely go for it. It would capture the memory in time.

I think that is an awesome idea!! And, if you don't like it you can always get a new caseback and engrave again...
And congrats on a great team win!

Congrats, that is awesome!
Also, ENGRAVE THEM BOTH!!! Anytime you need a little extra motivation or just reassurance that someone is there for you, you can take it off and look at that. |
