As a graduation gift to my son as he's becoming a doctor, I gave him my 1st Rolex bought in 2001: A Yacht Master. He loves it. My daughter another doctor got the DJ from her mom.

Which did you give to your son/daughter or to be gifted in the near future?

Giangos · 4 January 2018, 09:16 AM

That's great, you are no doubt proud and I'm sure they are great kids and future role models. My kids are young but I hope I can do the same. With 5 of them I'd better work hard in the meantime!

Beautiful! They both are lucky to have you as parents. I am about to finish up med school myself. Interviewing for ortho residencies at the moment. Tell them congrats for me!

Planning on giving my son a Hamilton Khaki Air Race when he graduates with honors from Middle School.

I bought my first Rolex recently as a gift to myself for obtaining my MBA.

You done good. My son wants my 116619 and my daughter wants my Patek 5711.

Hi dad......:)

True story, I swear; While waiting for our flight out of Tokyo Sunday night, we were just walking through the Omega store and my 5 year-old son asks the clerk, "Rolex arimasu ka?" Earned himself an ice cream cone for that little quip.

brandrea · 4 January 2018, 10:32 AM

Nothing yet, my kids are into cell phones

Romeojk · 4 January 2018, 10:41 AM

I wanted to but had to put the $$ toward school loans, maybe a DJ in a few years for her, she's a good kid

That is a nice gift for each one... Congrat's on their Achievement!

Kiddodoc · 4 January 2018, 10:58 AM

Great gifts for great accomplishments. I plan on giving our eldest son an Exp II after he finishes his masters.

Congrats on raising great kids.

We paid for their undergraduate in full. They did loan for their doctorate but that was to give them some responsibilities to finish up and earn their way....

After much research and lurking on TRF, I just bought my first Rolex today, a 14060M from my son’s birth year. I plan to gift it to him when he graduates college. He’s in 10th grade now, so I have a little time to enjoy it myself first....

tamiya · 4 January 2018, 11:58 AM

Question for all you Rolex gifters...

Would you have thought to gift a Rolex if you didn't already have one yourself?

You might as well buy Rolex and lock it up in a safe vs putting it into a savings account with the measly interest rates these days...

Naturally, I had to translate that and this is what I got.

I thought there must have been a mistake and did it again.

Then I remembered the problem with the letter "L" in Japanese.

TimeRookie · 4 January 2018, 12:41 PM

I gave my son an Omega Planet Ocean with the orange bezel. My daughter has 3.5 years to go. I’ll likely get her an Omega as well so it’s fair. I’ll be telling them to work hard enough to buy their own Rolexes. They can decide between the Rolexes I have when I die 40 years from now.
Or maybe when they get married.........

He should have said, "Rolex ga arimasu ka?" He's 5 and still learning grammar. Literally, it means "Are there Rolexes?", how it is understood is, "Do you have any Rolexes?".....with emphasis on Rolex.

DoctorA · 4 January 2018, 02:42 PM

My son is only 14 but I hope to pass my first Rolex on to him!

KAHN · 4 January 2018, 02:43 PM

My Son loves it.
