Explorer II (White Dial) Z Serial.

I briefly attempted to sell the watch, but most of the potential buyers wanted it for less than it was worth.

Decided to give it to a deserving guy who is just beginning his professional career. I know he will wear it well; just as he does everything else.

Nice.

Tell him you get first right of refusal if he decides to sell it.

I can't wait for the day I can do the same for my son

I was wondering where that beauty went.

The watch has found the right home. No price on the forum can match that! Well done.

That is fantastic, I can not wait to able to preseant my daughter with her WG daytona purchased on the day she was born. I look forward to that day in 17years and 7 months. That must be fantastic feeling.

Good man. I too kept my first Rolex in the family(blood). When my brother graduated from law school, I gave him my Sub/date SS. At graduation, I removed it from wrist, congratulated him, and placed it in his hand. True story.

NICE gesture!

How old is your son?

Perfect!

I was 20 when I got my first Rolex!

Alcan · 1 November 2007, 07:30 AM

Very nice move, Mark!

Some day he might be here showing the next generation pictures (or probably holograms or something by then) of the fantastic vintage Daytona his Dad gave him back in the day!

Maz25 · 1 November 2007, 07:33 AM

Your a cool dad, that's really nice of you to give your son a rollie.

DS/B MINI S · 1 November 2007, 09:39 AM

Simply Outstanding

mike · 1 November 2007, 10:26 AM

Well done! He will treasure it always.

I did the same thing when my son graduated from college. It's with him now in the army.

Letsgodiving · 1 November 2007, 11:48 AM

That is a great gesture! He will be an old man some day and remember that with immense pride.

Hey, I'll be following in your footsteps in about 2 years.
