Vintage pair for my two sons...
As both my sons fast approach adulthood, graduations, etc I have purchased these in the hope of creating the next generation of WIS.
Do others plan on gifting watches and or the obsession? |

Very simple algorithm will be applied....

All kidding aside my younger son had previously commented; "why would anyone buy a watch without a date, I always know roughly what time it is but always forget the date". Makes it easy. |

Ok, then the choice is easy.
I thought that one of your sons had red hair..... |

Those look GREAT.
The boys are very lucky. Can I just ask what brand of leather strap that is? |

No worries. Thanks for getting back to me. It sure is a beauty. A lot of leather straps are really thick but that one looks thin and pliable and has great texture to the leather.

Daddy is that you?
All joking aside...great idea for your two sons and it sounds like they both know the significance of what you are doing for them. Great job! |

Gifting Watches , I have three boys, one really is into watches , one is sort off and has been several Rolex well is now on his fifth in 12 years, the middle son has a Rolex and has worn it a handful of times in 11 yrs.
I would gladly gift them one more each but suspect they would only sell them to raise cash for Holidays ,so they can wait till I'm gone and sort it out then amongst them selves Lovely pair of subs very lucky lads |
