I would give him mine in a heartbeat if he wanted it!

tkerrmd · 23 November 2016, 04:32 AM

Won the championship at Daytona, pretty fitting....

Etschell · 23 November 2016, 04:35 AM

would be a nice way to commemorate it.

jmolsberg · 23 November 2016, 04:36 AM

I posted a picture of me with my Daytona on my 8" plus wrists and a lot were saying it's way too small...this shows that your son is rocking the daytona with very big wrists too...big watches are a fad and a Daytona is timeless quality no matter how big your wrists are.

mjclark32 · 23 November 2016, 04:41 AM

Awesome idea and congrats on the win!
People get crazy about case backs, but they're easily replaceable. And, I'm sure in this instance neither piece will be flipped anyway.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

REFZ · 23 November 2016, 04:46 AM

Maybe you can ask your son what he wants because IMO the engraving alone doesn't help him remembering the event and you as his father.

Engraving the Platona will take some balls, but that would be cool to have matching engravings. You're going to keep the Platona anyway, so go for it. Just make sure they do the initial engraving on a scrap piece of metal for "approval."

crazycarlitos · 23 November 2016, 04:57 AM

Congrats on winning the Championship Doc !

and yeah, def engrave !

tkerrmd · 23 November 2016, 05:10 AM

some great ideas and comments guys! I appreciate the input!!

GB-man · 23 November 2016, 05:44 AM

Without question I would do it! This is a fitting engraving and you will never be selling these watches either way.

I would engrave the title you won and the date. (Or alternatively the year might look cleaner. )

PCA CUP
National Champions
Xx/xx/xxxx (2016)

Can't wait to see the result

faz · 23 November 2016, 05:53 AM

Great pictures, love the father/son story, congrats on the win.

Free hand engraving would be really cool. Nerve wracking until it's done, but cool.

AK797 · 23 November 2016, 06:25 AM

Go for it Tom, a wonderful gesture, and as for resale this is one of the rare cases where a Dr Tom watch I'm sure would fetch a premium.

arguetaoscar · 23 November 2016, 06:29 AM

A day and a team to remember! Congratulations!!!

I'm going to go against the crowd here...

I like the idea of engraving, however, I think you need to buy 2 more watches to commemorate the special occasion.

You already bought those for probably some other event in your life.

dysondiver · 23 November 2016, 06:46 AM

well done that team ,,,, go for it.

RichM · 23 November 2016, 07:03 AM

Couldn't Have Done It without You, The date. Love Dad. He'll know what it means.

Comgrats Doc to you and the family on your victory.

cpefy3 · 23 November 2016, 07:04 AM

Love this idea and cant wait to see how it turns out!!

tkerrmd · 23 November 2016, 07:26 AM

Well a lot of food for thought here guys, appreciate the suggestions and hadn't thought of the personal touch was going for same as other Pro series do.

gonna talk to engraver!

Well we did win the sprint race and endurance race that weekend at Daytona, and then the series Championship but it isn't like the back of my coaches watch....

mmalek1 · 23 November 2016, 08:20 AM

I think that would be great. Your watches are full of experience and great memories as you aren't afraid to wear and enjoy. It was a wonderful experience seeing you race and to meet your crew/family. Those watches are meant for family and maybe the occasional try on from a guy like me, so do what will make even more special. Thanks again buddy and I hope to have the chance again.
