Reading this made my day. Thanks for sharing.

Great story!

Great story!

LightOnAHill · 1 January 2013, 04:16 AM

What a wonderful story! Awesome exchange of love and gifts! He looks healthy and I hope you share many more days!

gulfstream69xr7 · 1 January 2013, 04:24 AM

Great story. I will be thinking about this tonight while celebrating with my son.

sea-dweller · 1 January 2013, 04:34 AM

Very nice!

DoxaDavid · 1 January 2013, 06:26 AM

Thank you all for the well wishes for my dad.

Yep, (knock on wood) he is still healthy as a horse, works part time and continues trying to hit a golf ball strait.

Complains about his arthritis but has a good attitude when it comes to getting older. His favorite reply when asked is, " Beats the hell out of the alternative!"

Here is a pick of my Mom and Dad at his B Day party. Not that it is politically correct to tell you but can you believe my mom is 71? People think she barely looks 60.

Great story. Sounds like one of the better trades made on TRF too!!

DrLindaPhD · 1 January 2013, 08:09 AM

You got me all choked up! Your Dad's old watch looks perfect on your wrist and his new watch looks perfect on his wrist. What a wonderful legacy.

JizJizJiz · 1 January 2013, 08:52 AM

What a great story - and happy birthday to your dad!

cornerstore · 1 January 2013, 08:57 AM

Good on your Dad for giving you his watch.

Frogman4me · 1 January 2013, 08:58 AM

Wow! Great story :)

JUSTROLEXES · 1 January 2013, 09:48 AM

Every Rolex tells a story

I wish the best for you and your dad David and I hope both of you guys wear your new watches and enjoy them for many years to come

Happy New Year my friend

BXNupe · 1 January 2013, 09:53 AM

Outstanding story. I was fortunate enough to give my father a TT Sub a couple of years ago. Thus, I know that you too are beaming with pride. Well done!

BTW, you better save up 'cause your mom will "need" a (another) crown in four years.

Thanks and that's so funny you said that. My mom said to me, " You know, I would gladly give Tricia my old watch for a new TT Rolex but I wouldn't mind if it had a few diamonds on it cuz us girls like a little sparkle!"

Oy...at least I have 4 years before needing to shell out for hers!

Really nice story, I lost my dad a couple of months ago, which made your story even more impactive. Enjoy your time together.
