Every time I look at it I think of him. Guess that's the point. Well. Enjoy. Rich

Wonderful. Enjoy your watch!

Rich-

Congrats and Happy Birthday. I don't know who is more excited about this.....you or your Dad. Really a great gesture and I know how appreciative you are for having it.
Great party on Friday night too. Glad I got to see you when you were in town.
Enjoy that OP Date from......1978?

Cheers, Steve

I have my dad's Oyster Perpetual as well that he gave me back in the 90's.

Reminds me that I need to wear it the next time I go to visit my folks.

Still have all the original documentation, hang tags, and receipt ($202.13 in 1971)

Great gift from a great dad, sure to bring cherished memories for years.
