Icon19 Bought Dad a Rolex.

So while there are a couple watches on my radar, I figured I buy my dad one this time. He bought me my first SS DJ for a high school graduation gift so now its my turn.

He currently wears a SS Sub, but has always liked the OP line due to their simplistic design and for whatever reason, he prefers watches with no date (however his Sub does have a date). While he could easily buy multiples of any Rolex in the catalog, he prefers watches that are not flashy. Same with cars, clothes, homes, etc.... (but that is another topic).

Anyways, I am wearing his watch today, but he will be receiving for it for Christmas. Feels pretty cool to buy your parents a nice gift once in a while....

A great and lasting present.
I gave my Dad 3 Rolex watches to celebrate his milestone birthdays.
He’s been gone over 12 years, but the watches he wore and loved are now being worn by my son, nephew and sister.
A phenomenal legacy and connection.

I got my dad a blue OP 5 years ago and had it engraved. Best gift I ever bought and made for a great Christmas.
