Well we won the National championship few weeks ago. My son on my pit crew saved us over a minute in the pit stop. We won by less than that.

thinking of engraving the Daytona C I just gave him??

with this to remember the year and our great relationship...

thoughts??

DO IT !!
Father and Son

To many people here think only about the resale value - And that's not what it's about

Absolutely.

Engraved watches are time honored gift. It's one of the reasons that Rolex keeps their case-backs clear and flat.

RMC12 · 23 November 2016, 03:06 AM

Sounds like a great idea to me - makes a great gift all the more special!!!

tkerrmd · 23 November 2016, 03:14 AM

Huge congrats to you and your son, Tom.

Engraving the watch is an amazing and loving gesture. Go for it my friend. Let us know what you end up doing. Better yet, show us when it is done!

tkerrmd · 23 November 2016, 03:16 AM

do both??

Congrats, and great idea Dr. Tom. If it were me, I'd buy a matching Daytona-C just like the one you're engraving for him.

Disaar · 23 November 2016, 03:16 AM

Do it, I wish my dad would've done it!

Skyrider01 · 23 November 2016, 03:18 AM

Congrats on the championship! Great idea, go for it!

TK-710 · 23 November 2016, 03:26 AM

I think it's a great idea. That's the way a Rolex should come from a father to a son.

Congratulations on the win

Juantxo · 23 November 2016, 03:29 AM

Of course...!!! That decision should have been taken faster than switching gears on a Porsche. Congratulations...!!!

LuminousMaximus · 23 November 2016, 03:34 AM

I think that is an awesome idea!! And, if you don't like it you can always get a new caseback and engrave again...

And congrats on a great team win!

Watchgeek5000 · 23 November 2016, 03:29 AM

Definitely!!!!

locutus49 · 23 November 2016, 03:31 AM

Huge congrats. I'm not big on engraving myself, but if it makes you feel good in commemorating the win, then definitely go for it. It would capture the memory in time.

WAK4 · 23 November 2016, 03:35 AM

Definitely do it! That's awesome, and congrats on the win!

tkerrmd · 23 November 2016, 03:39 AM

my son and I and these two Daytonas make a great pair, I may do both, then leave him the Platona.....well you know when...

Iflylo · 23 November 2016, 03:45 AM

I'd do it in a heartbeat..make them both family treasures!!

Huge congrats by the way!
