Proof that Rolex makes you crazy!
A few days after my dad got his TT sub, he named it. It's name is "el macho"
 Now, whenever I talk to him, he tells me what he and "el macho" are doing. "El macho and I are watching TV" or "Me and el macho went to the boat show today." So... does he just really love his watch or is this early senility?

All my watches that end up being keepers have got a nickname.

If it's early senility, make lots of fast movements and sudden loud noises around him. This will speed up the process and you can Shanghai his watch.

That is how I feel about my gift from my wife. I have told her a 100 times thank you or if she apologizes to me for something small I have to tell he no problem you got me a Rolex you can pretty much get away with anything for a few years. You bought your father an awesome gift and he definitely appreciates it. You’re the best. |

Sounds like the sub went straight for his heart
That was a great gift! Wish I had a daughter like that! Hell, wish I had a girlfriend like that...come to think of it, wish I had a girlfriend. Err..Did I say that out loud? Inner voice...inner voice

Jen: That's really neat!! Nothing to be concerned about. I'd start to worry when he starts to refer to himself in third person, like "El Macho and your Dad went to ...."

I think you obviously picked the perfect gift. Well done.
In fact, YOU gave me an idea. When my dad retires in about 3 years, I have decided to get him a TT Bluesy for a retirement gift. If he names it, I'll know I have succeeded.

It sounds like a sign of attachment to the wonderful watch you gave him. And he's letting you know how much he appreciates and loves the watch!!!

Crazy? Nah. I think he really loves his watch.
But if one day you find him wandering around downtown wearing nothing but a Rolex and a lobster bib, and asking people, "Which way to the Eiffel Tower, pal?", don't look at me.
