Happy Fathers Day! Anyone giving or receiving a Rolex today?

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
I'll be spending time at my father's house with my wife and kids enjoying some good wine and BBQ. No watch gifts here though.
Curious if anyone is gifting a watch to their father or maybe receiving one today?
Regardless, enjoy the day and time with family!

I wish...but alas, no.

When I got up this morning, I was expecting a deluxe breakfast and a nice green box to greet me... OK, not really. Did get a nice bowl of cereal, though.

@Chris: love that card. That made my day.

I did get a watch case (not Rolex branded). Now that I have my BLNR all my other watches where just sitting in a drawer. Now they can at least add a decorative element to the house.

No watch but I got approval for my next purchase. At least I won't have to ask for forgiveness now.

I tried to convince Ken that I was his son this morning. He's "looking after" his Patek "for the next generation," right? I'm gonna need a 5711, pops.

To me, those are the best Father's Day gifts you can get! I have all the one's made by my kids years ago carefully stored away and they bring a huge smile to my face every time I get them out and look at them!

I do; but I actually get it next week. 114060. To say the least, I'm more than a bit thrilled.
