You seem to have the disposable income to buy several Daytonas... I don't see why not. If he hates it, he can always send it to RSC for a new caseback.

If neither of you are planning on selling there is no reason not to engrave them! It would make them both very special and both great family heirlooms to be passed along with a great story along with them.

You have to do it.
The win is great, but your relationship is even more incredible.

Congrats on the Championship! Count one more vote for doing both watches. I think it's a great idea, and certainly makes both pieces invaluable to you both. Makes them more than just great watches.

Wow, major congrats on the PCA championship and on the role and relationship your son played in it all! Definitely worth commemorating on both of your watches (the two I am pondering, lol).

A Daytona case back means nothing.

An engraved Daytona case back from you dad means EVERYTHING.
