The gift.

I have been wondering for a gift to give my Dad for the past 2 months probably. I finally figure it out and got him a New Rolex Sub ND! This will be his first one so I think it would be special for him (at least I hope so). Special mention to justrolexes (Tony) for helping me out. I'm so excited and can't wait to see his reaction when he opens it up.

I'm trying to hold myself from peeling off the protective plastic. LOL I love the new watch smell.

PHBouche, I don't know how to tell you this...but I am your father, :)

GREAT gift! You should take hidden video so you can capture the special moment/reaction.

A great gift from a good son! Congrats!

I was thinking of getting my old man a nice watch, but he is saying his DJ seemed too heavy, so he doesn't like wearing it...
