I'm starting to have an Influence on MY DAD.

Up until about a year ago I dont think he would have even considered a Rolex. This past weekend he purchased another one and He LOVES it Much.




He's a huge lover of YG as every piece of jewelry he wears has it, so this matches his rings and bracelet perfectly, plus he is dark skinned which I think always makes the yellow look much better. His arm looks a little like JJ's with all that fur.

I have tried to get him to join TRF but he's content with reading my posts and looking at some of your watches.

Thanks for looking and have a great night/day.

Well if my dads turns white like yours it will be very close but yours is definitely longer. You may be in need of a little sheering.

You having influence over ANYONE is scary, Bruno!


Tell your dad we send our collective CONGRATS! Watch looks kick-ass!

Very cool Bruno, I think this is happening with my dad too. Took him to the Omega Boutique to get my Seamaster pressure tested, he found his grail.

What a beautiful Watch, I love it.
I figure its just another thing for a father and son to do/have in common together. The more the better. Sometimes when we are hanging out or just eating a meal together, I break out the Iphone, log onto TRF, go over to the For Sale section and we look at all the watches together. Because he is into all watch brands he likes to see the prices and such..

If I ask nicely he would but I wont. When I got my PAM. he tried it on and I told him he could wear it if he wanted to but he thinks its too big. He only goes for 40mm or less but he does like it on me.

Bruno mate (& Mr Bruno Senior?) it's truly a great watch......

but an even greater 'point' in that you & your Father share your love of watches together.

I have two sons aged 16 & 10, & none of us are into the same sports or anything but we still go to all the (UK) WWE events together & I'm sure they'll eventually get 'into' watches too.

As you said my friend..... "the more the better".
