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.

CharlieG · 28 March 2009, 10:27 PM

Congrats on your Dad's 80th

I'm sure he will love it

Chris B · 28 March 2009, 10:35 PM

Great gift, well done Bryan I'm sure that he'll cherish it

JimSnyder · 28 March 2009, 11:07 PM

Very cool, awesome gesture. You sure he does not need a two-tone diamond encrusted watch?
