My dad is awesome.
 Some of you guys might remember I posted awhile back about how I gifted my father a Datejust while he was visiting me . Well he's gone and made a custom watch box for it and I thought it was cool. Attached is a photo he posted to his Facebook. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My dad is 83 years old with a hobbled hip. He can't get around as well as he used to, but he's a busy body and needs to do something so he took up wood working. He's getting pretty dang good at it too.He truly is my hero and I look up to him. But I find a ton of satisfaction in giving him a proper watch to wear. He's really proud of it and wears it every day. I'm extremely excited to get that watch back eventually. It will then be passed down to my eldest daughter.

Nice box! You know he feels so proud for having such a loving and caring son.
Even if your dad wasn't really a watch guy, he surely is now...
