Something new for 2014

I've had my eye on this watch ever since it was released and yesterday it was finally my turn to strap one onto my wrist.

This is a departure away from the usual sport's watches that i am so used to but my taste is maturing and the Jumbo is a perfect way for my to break that bond.

I've always thought that if i bought this, that it would be one watch that i would pass over to my son and so as we share the same initials to make it extra special i am going to look into having AP do a custom rotor (if it isn't silly money that is:)

Happy New Year everyone

Love the green box!















Date set.



With his big brother.



And last but not least my little lad who will be taking possession of it when it hit's 18



HAGWE

Jamie

Now that's beautiful - in every respect. Congratulations and enjoy it for the next 18 years... I'm sure your little lad will do likewise eventually!

Great choice, your son will absolutely love them (like father, like son)! He has matching eye colour. Thanks for sharing

Congrats. It looks beautiful on your wrist. I am sure you're little one will appreciate it when he turns 18.

A great Heirloom, indeed! Hopefully he appreciates it at 18. I'm not sure I would have been able to fully comprehend owning a piece like that at such a young age. Or treated it like it should be.

Icon6 18 years will go by fast before you know it....

Excellent! Your son is lucky to have this Jumbo. Have two sons (32 & 22 y/o) and gave each of them a Rolex (tt T-bird and GMT II Coke) in the last two Christmases. What a great feeling I tell you.
