Great choice! And, in my opinion, more meaningful that it was a 50/50 gift from you and from himself to celebrate this next chapter.

Now when are you going to get your own Pepsi?

Great story, I love sharing such passions with my kids especially my son.

Tudor GMT is a great first step, you do realise however he has an eye on your Daytona - right...

Very nice, congrats all around.

And judging by the look of the Daytona on you, I’m sure that the BB GMT would look right at home on you, if you really want to get a matching pair.

Nice looking watch

Like the part he paid 1/2 the price too - it’s a good start in appreciating the value of the watch
