When I wear mine Rick I will think of your dad and RKermitR.

Beautiful piece and story. Thanks for sharing. That black and green Kermit is such a nice watch. If I purchase another Rolex, that’ll be the one I get.

I’m not one for watch nicknames either Rick but in this case it fits perfectly.
Congratulations to you and here’s hoping you wear it for many years to come and in the best of health.

sun-dail · 20 January 2018, 08:18 AM

Great story, congrats on the LV

cht · 20 January 2018, 08:22 AM

Granted yours looks a little better, but honestly, you spent too much for a fake kermit watch....here's the real one. :p

Great LV, enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful watch for an equally beautiful reason. Love these types of stories, :)

RickR · 20 January 2018, 09:58 AM

I just got back to this thread and read all the posts. Thank you all for the nice words. It really means a lot. I knew you guys would understand.

Even my wife who supports and condones my Rolex obsession, though she really doesn't quite understand it, appreciates the sentiment attached to this watch after I told her more about it.

Here's another photo I took today for good measure. It's such a lovely piece!

Swashplate · 20 January 2018, 11:20 AM

Love the story. Properly Honored, as you will think of him every time you look at it.

AJM914 · 20 January 2018, 11:58 AM

Congrats looks great!

kicksncrowns · 20 January 2018, 12:08 PM
