Parents’ PM pieces

Hi all, just wanted to share a few of my parents’ PM pieces. I know many of you do not like diamonds or tricolor but these are what my parents like. My parents worked hard all their lives as immigrants who came to America in the 80s. They are working class people who dedicated their entire lives to providing for the family. I am happy to say that they finally retired last year.

My father first purchased a two tone Datejust 16233 in 1993 which he has now passed down to me. In his later years, he was able to buy a few PMs for himself and my mother. Thanks for looking!

36 Day-Date
Tridor Masterpiece
Lady Tridor Pearlmaster
Lady Datejust on a President bracelet

Like the day date. The 36mm is defiantly the one to have, the classic.

That's my dad's favorite and mine too! He does find the Tridor Masterpiece too heavy and uncomfortable when wearing for a prolonged period.

Haha, yes. I posted the photo of the DD concerning the lume in another thread. Good memory!
