He once told me, "I'll NEVER have a Rolex". He's a watch nut but unfortunately he doesn't make enough to spend lavishly like some of us do. So, his birthday is next month, and this Precision is circa 1964, same year he was born. You think he'll like it?

That's a fantastic gift! Nice and low key.

Good work my friend

Dan Pierce · 6 June 2012, 04:19 AM

Perfect, Mark! Bet he loves it. Let the slippery slope commence, lol!

Dan Pierce · 6 June 2012, 04:29 AM

Btw, I always wanted a brother.

2th Dr · 6 June 2012, 04:32 AM

If he doesn't like it, I'll be more than happy to keep it! But, I just sent him a cheap $140 Android, and he was almost in tears when he called me, so I'm pretty sure he's gonna like this one.

And Dan-O, you ARE my brother!

Thanks, pal!

I already knew that.

Now, it seems I'm a little short this week and was wondering...............

Sean.c · 6 June 2012, 04:41 AM

Can I be your bro too on my bday?

2th Dr · 6 June 2012, 04:43 AM

First you guys wanted me to be your adopted son. Now you want to be my brother. What gives?

Sam Philip · 6 June 2012, 04:45 AM

Very nice, I'm sure he will be over the moon

kdvu · 6 June 2012, 04:45 AM

That's a very nice watch, classic and low key, I'll bet he'd be ecstatic especially the watch has the same birth year as he.

jay1988 · 6 June 2012, 04:46 AM

Such a nice thought.

I will say one thing though once I thought I got my Dad a really nice gift and his brothers completely one upped me and got him a classic car he's wanted since he was 17. Since then we collaborate as a family on gifts.

That bit about him being a watch nut but could never have a Rolex made me sad :( The look on his face will be priceless. You should video it. Like those kids that go crazy on youtube when they get a puppy.

Sweramic · 6 June 2012, 04:46 AM

I'm sure it's nice Mark!

Damn, I haven't been able to see the pictures you post in ages

Trouble15 · 6 June 2012, 04:47 AM

Very nice looking piece, I'm sure he'll love it. Great brother!

689maple · 6 June 2012, 04:49 AM

What have you got against your brother (ha)? You know one is never enough and once the bug bites there is no going back. I will bet this is just the first of several to come and its a very nice one at that. Better avoid the sister in law at future family outings. Sometimes I wish I wasn't an only child.

Watch Professor · 6 June 2012, 04:53 AM

Wonderful gift. Beautiful watch.

Well done! I gave my little brother a watch at his 30th, and he has been wearing it pretty much daily for 12 years now... I guess it is time for him to save up for my 50th... And there is still a couple of years for him to ... at least get me an Android phone... :-D

Very nice gesture! If you grow tired of your brother... Or Dan P... my birthday is in October. ;-)

Best,

Anders

azguy · 6 June 2012, 04:58 AM

It's awesome and he can play around with many strap colors......

Chris B · 6 June 2012, 05:32 AM

Very nicely done Mark

chiko323 · 6 June 2012, 05:46 AM

Nooooo I was thinking of making an offer on that watch when I saw it in the FS forum. Guess I waited to long lol. Congrats!
