Who's planning on the gift of ROLEX??
I'm curious who's planning on giving the gift of a fine time piece to a loved one this Christmas?
I've been plotting and putting back a nice stash of goodies for my two boys, a brother-in-law and my wife since early summer in anticipation of a wonderful Christmas. I know I'll have several surprised family members come the evening of the 24th . It's been hard keeping them locked up in the safe until now, but I know it'll be worth the wait.

Who else out there's given it up this year?

Hey Bill. Mr. DavidSW is in the process of tracking down a SS DJ for me, my first foray into that line. It's going to have a silver dial, jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. I'm getting antsy!

Great watch! She'll love it. I did the same for my wife last spring, and it went over very well.

Yes sir, that's the one. I forgot to mention the stick markers. I found a picture buz-lh had posted a while ago of his, great photo, and it really put me over the top for that configuration. Before that, I had been waffling between it and a white dial.

I take it you love yours?

I've got a couple of NIB GMT 2C's for my two son's, a couple of panerai models that I'm gonna let my brother-in law pick from and a Patek Aquanaut for the wifey. Hopefully I'll be off the hook for a couple years after this.
