Congratulations Mike, two special events in one - a Son's graduation and the handing down of a Rolex between generations.
Looks like you were keeping it BNIB ready for him


Cheers

Congrats Mike!

Your son is a very brave man!

I am still young but wish someday to open my vault up too......

He should have picked that vintage 16800 that we've talked about....LOL. ;)

Congratulations to you Mike, your wife, and your grandson!

That is a great career he's chosen for himself - my cousin runs the same rounds as your grandson as a member of the Chicago Fire Dept!!!

Firemen do it hotter!!! (or so he says)

Mike, please pass on Nancy's and my congratulations to your son!



P.S. I just graduated from Charcoal Briquette BBQ'ing 101. Since I'll probably be supplying your son with lots of business, do I get to pick a watch too?
