"INCOMING" I gave my 76 year old uncle the Rolex off of my arm ( pic Heavy )

[Time Collector]

My uncle has been a very hard worker for all of his life. He put 5 kids through college and even started a college fund for all of his grand kids. The thing that makes this so incredible is the fact that after 27 years with Du Pont in Linden,N.J. , he lost his job because Du Pont was closing their dye operation and he had to start all over. The dye operation was shut down in part because they tried for 12 years and could not get a permit from the State of N.J. to burn the leftover hazardous material and put it in the air. As a result they laid off a great deal of people and the sad part was that if you were not 55 years old or older they offered you a severance package instead of retirement and for my uncle it came up to $ 16,000 after taxes and 2 years of medical, not much with 5 kids starting college. He never said a word, he took that money and opened up one Laundromat at first and through hard work he was able to obtain many. He is the type that will give you the shirt off of his back to help you along. He has been admiring my Rolex for over 2 years and he always said " if you ever get tired of that watch, I will hold it for you." Well, I called him to wish him a happy 76 birthday and he jokingly asked " are you sending me that Rolex before I die" and then it hit me that we should show the ones we love how much they mean to us while they are alive. So I boxed it up and sent it off to him next day mail. His son called me on face time because he wanted to see me when he thanked me. He was crying and kept saying that he could not take such an expensive gift, and my reply was" this is the retirement watch that you never got from Du Pont". He has had it for 2 days now and my aunt says that he sleeps in it. Sorry for the long intro. But I was lucky enough to get a fully sticker, couple of days old new watch from our guy DavidSW which just arrive 10 mins ago. My old watch was the same as the new one.
