I'm shocked, shocked I say, that you haven't talked him into a Rolex, JJ!

Actually, he loves the TT Black dial Sub, but genuinely can't afford it right now with a heavy mortgage, 2 kids and what have you hanging over his head!!

Can he at least afford to clean the watch he has? Looks like some nasty stuff around that bezel!

For his next birthday, JJ, why don't you treat him to a good watch cleaning. That's a nice watch now, but if it were cleaned, I bet it would really sparkle.

Agreed, even if you can not afford the best, take pride in ownership in what you have.

A proper cleaning does not take much time at all.

Better yet, just give him the pumpkin and do us all a favour so we don't have to look at that ugly mug of Ommie.

Now that's the best idea I've seen on TRF in months, John. I can get behind that one.

Thanks, Richard, that's the most important thing. He's an excellent father and a really good husband.

Now, why couldn't the rest of you tossers have come up with something nice like what Richard just said?

I don't care what watch the bugger wears, can he provide for my daughter? My pride and joy. Does he call me "Sir" instead of "pops"? Does he great upon leaving? I’ve seen them come and go, the dorks. Dang, the only one I liked was dismissed by my daughter within a week. “He’s too nice”. Can you believe this? THE MAN WORE A ROLEX! From good family, polite to my wife, etc. “Too nice”. What is this world coming to?

Take care,

Frans.
