Dad's 80th Birthday Present.....
Inspired by others on TRF, to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday, I got this for him. His generation always worked hard and he would never purchase something like this for himself. I selected an easy to read dial and a plain bracelet. He doesn't need bling at his age. Hope he likes it.
