New Member, First Rolex
My parents got me the watch for my birthday/christmas. I told my mom a year ago my friend and I went into a jewelry store to look and ask questions about them and no worker in the store came to help us just because we didnt look like we were gonna buy anything. She said that she felt mad about that and my dad and her went to the AD around where they live in Minneapolis and a very nice guy helped them out for almost two hours educating them on Rolexes without even knowing they were gonna buy something.
We are prolly gonna get it engraved with prolly my birthday and "from mom and dad" or their names. Hopefully pass it along to a new generation when that times comes. Really love the watch and this forum.

Congrats on the watch, but I really think your parents are too kind, I mean they are awesome
 Enjoy your watch and the love that your parents have shown.
