My folks came over for the Jewish holidays this evening.

As always, my father and I talked watches.

Without going into a ton of detail my dad tells me again that his favorite watch is the explorer 2 polar. So I went upstairs, got mine, and gave it to him.

It’s one of my all time favorites, but nothing better than seeing it on him.

He took off the YG DD2 I gave him a few years ago and strapped this puppy right on. It was like watching a kid at Christmas.

His health isn’t good these days, so this was a really great moment.

Watches have always been a connector for us. One of the reasons I love them so much.

Awesome gift. May he enjoy it for many more years.

mas12 · 20 September 2018, 07:54 AM

That is an excellent gift and a great gesture. I'm sure he appreciates more than he can show you!

Amazing Seth!

Funny you mention that, my father's favorite Rolex of mine is my white dial Explorer II. He owns a two tone Submariner Date he'd never take off, but if he did purchase a modern Rolex, the Explorer II would be it.

Beautiful moment. Lost mine many moons ago. What I wouldn’t do for a memory like yours.

On another note, I would totally trade my polar for a YG DD2
