Congratulations and enjoy your watch in good health

You picked a great watch that can be worn under any conditions. It can be dressed up or down and won't be out of place. Your father would be proud

Congrats!
I’m sure your dad’s looking down happy

You knocked it out of the park with the LN. I think it’s the best GMT for an all around Rolex. It looks great on you.

Happy to hear your story, which started a little painfully yet ended up a triumphant tale of success.

I lost my father less than two years ago so I understand how difficult such a loss can be. I'm still hurting but time does help heal and I hope you're faring well. A brand new Rolex, although just a 'material possession' can help. (Can't hurt! Lol)

Good luck and wear the watch in good health. Your father is looking down and smiling.

Nice!!

Before you put the box away in storage do yourself a favor and write a note to yourself and put it in the box in case you feel the need to ever get the box out again......

"Don't Sell This Watch. It Was My First Rolex"

Many of us would've loved to have had that note in ours.

mas12 · 19 November 2018, 08:13 AM

Well done and congrats! The first is always special, but this one is extra special for you and I hope you enjoy it and keep it for the long haul.

awesome story! congrats, I know he would be proud. love these kinds of stories...my dad recently gifted me his late 70's datejust he wore every day for decades and it is 100% my most prized possession by far

blackhawks-fan · 19 November 2018, 11:14 AM

Outstanding! My mom is the only person I've ever met that could understand being emotionally attached to a watch. Many people know of my obsession with time and watches and think I'm nuts. When I read stories like yours I get emotional. Congratulations and think of your dad whenever you check the time (I know you will), wear it in good health.

cop414 · 19 November 2018, 11:18 AM

Congratulations, your Dad is smiling down on you of that I’m sure.
