No he is not. He knows about the name "Rolex" but he doesn't own a true luxury watch.

That's cool! Remember - A son can have just as an important influence on a father. He has a Porsche and you (saved for a) BMW. He needs a watch (at least an Omega)

I never told him I bought one, instead I waited for him to notice. When he did he asked what kind of what it was, so I told him "Rolex Submariner". His reply... Where's mine???

I love the picture with your laptop in the background and the packing peanuts scattered all over...I can picture the excitement tearing open the package, styrofoam peanuts flying everywhere, digging to get to the watch, :)

Iconic watch, congrats
The beauty and symmetry of the dial is more apparent without the date feature.

It was a sight to see I'm sure! When it arrived I face timed my friend who was out of state so he could experience it with me.
