A Father always passes down tradition

My kid's orthodontist and his father have a practice together. And for the last four years, I've gotten to know them as very professional, courteous, and humble people. Everyone likes them very much. I believe the father has taught the son everything it takes to be great at his profession and to be an honorable man.

A few years ago, I also notice, peeking out from under the father's physician's coat was a gold dateJust, perhaps. Very nice and elegant. Around the same time, I noticed the son had the same watch, but in SS. No pomp, no praise, just common place and a mutual love for a simple but elegant timepiece for a father and son team. I love it when I see things passed down from one generation to another. Love it!!! This could be anything, and, in this case, it was a love for Rolex. Good going, Docs

Nice story. I'm hardly an orthodontist, however I have very early memories
Of my dad and his Rolex. He'd let me try it on and play with it like any other
Toy. He is also very compassionate and taught me to be a man through love/respect.
I know that had it not been for him I'd be a very different person. It's a tremendous
Feeling to be with him now - talking Rolex and spending time together.
