Rolex and Fathers Day (Sunday) in the UK
-
On Sunday its Fathers Day in the UK. Although my Father passed when I was fourteen, he is the reason why I am probably a Rolex aficionado ... Here is a pic where I am "busy" fiddling with his rolex.  Needless to say 60+ years on, he may not be with me but his Rolex is and still ticking ...  _

Great story and even more greater Rolex...Your Dad's Rolex...!
My dad was never into watches and still doesn't. It would be great if he had handed me a piece even if its just a Citizen...I love him anyways...:-) <<<<<-----I am looking to pass down one of my own to my daughter and future kids if I am blessed with more. Thanks for sharing and Happy Father's Day... |

Thank you for posting, brings it all together.
I'm currently saving for my second Rolex as I'd also like to pass one each to my sons. All the best |
