There’s one Rolex watch that my wife and I bought back in Oct 2018 which we intend to gift it to our kid when he graduates.

At that time also, my kid was undergoing some difficult period which needed us to visit him in school. And we were initially toying the idea of giving it to him to cheer him up. At the last minute, we decided to hold back and wait for the right time which is his graduation day.

Graduation date would be in May 2020. Plane ticket and hotel accommodation were already booked as early as August of last year. We engraved the watch caseback with his initials and graduation date. And my wife and I were definitely looking forward to seeing him soon.

Not until this Covid-19 pandemic happened which necessitated changes in plan such as cancellation of our visit and possibly cancellation of graduation day. But we are still hoping that graduation day will be postponed. In addition, we were in a tight dilemma of whether to ask him to come home or for him to stay in his apartment near the school. We decided on the latter as the airport is not definitely a safe place to be in and the long flight hours and possible quarantine activity that may be undertaken when he returns home.

So there you go, a sentimental gift watch that is still an ongoing work in progress. Hopeful yet scared, optimistic yet cautious. A “crown” for every achievement indeed.
