A gift for dad

I had set out on the search for a watch for my dad months ago. I’ve looked at every model under the sun trying to find the perfect piece. I was beginning to think I was going to have to go with my plan B. He’s not getting any younger lol. But today I got the text and I’ve certainly never been this excited about a watch for myself. I will circle back once I give it to him. God Bless!

Congrats, great choice!

Exactly the same configuration I got for my dad’s 70th birthday. It hasn’t left his wrist since (he is 74 now).
