Ok my bromance of The Godfather aka Dr Tom is stronger than ever!! I too got my first Rolex when I turned 40. When no one bought it for me, I said "ok Ill get it for myself"!! Went and bought the 50 Anniversary sub. GREAT story on a great guy. Dr Tom remains in the 1 slot of TRFers I'm most anxious to one day meet!!!

Dr. Tom is a great Rolex Ambassador; accomplished and humble.

What a great interview and very nicely done too. Dr. Tom your story is truly inspiring. The follow up posts from others about your love for your family and your personality just adds that much more respect.

Thank you for sharing, and thanks to Etschell for capturing it so beautifully.
