My fathers 50th birthday is coming up.I took him with me to my local AD and told him i needed to grab a extra link for my watch.My father immigrated to this country at 20 years old.He barley spoke a word of English. He had two kids by the time he was 25.He some how was able to work for him self and provide a good childhood for me and my brother.We weren't rich but we always had a nice place to live and food in our belly's.I couldn't think of a better way to surprise my father and then too let him pick something out for himself.He deserves it and god knows he would never spend the money himself.To gift a beautiful wrist watch to your father is one of the best feelings in the world.I am only able to do this because of the sacrifices he made himself.He choose a date-just ii with the white gold fluted bezel.We got a great deal on it.God bless everyone.

Did similar earlier this year and fully agree, best money I've ever spent.

You bought him a great watch, but he has a great family
