I知 finally able to upgrade my dads Rolex!!!
My dad is a long time Rolex fan. Not being well off early in life he bought a Rolex full gold president the day I was born in 1969. He since bought another in the 80痴 which he wears daily and keeps the original one in the safe for me to have in the future (I hope that day never happens as you can imagine).
In any event attached is a picture of his daily watch and the brand new 2020 40mm not 41mm that just arrived at my AD. I pick it up Saturday and will give it to my dad. He loves blue so I知 sure he will be thrilled!

Fabulous show of love and appreciation to your dad he's always there for you and it's great to see someone showing it in a gift to enjoy while you both can.
Commendable.

Will do. I値l get him to send us a customary wrist shot when he gets the watch.
Hope he likes it. Will be much bigger on his wrist compared to what he is used to.
