That's a great choice! He can wear it with anything, whether work clothes of on the weekend. So nice of you to let him pick out a brand new one!

I'd get the Explorer!

Sub would be my first pick, exp second. Sub is so wearable and acceptable in all circumstances. And I think it's a great thing, as long as he's the guy who will appreciate it. If you think he'll just be happy but treasure it, then he may not be ready for it to be given to him. Congrats on the accomplishment, I'm sure you are very proud.

Explorer

zhiunit · 4 February 2013, 09:49 AM

GMT II C.....might be helpful for when he is traveling and the extra time zones can be used to track his appointments!

sandybax · 4 February 2013, 10:03 AM

Good choice.

slm9555 · 4 February 2013, 10:32 AM

Nice DJ II, did you go with the fluted or smooth bezel?

Daninfla · 4 February 2013, 03:30 PM

He went with the smooth style

bsacc · 4 February 2013, 03:50 PM

I think it's great that you let him choose

Daninfla · 4 February 2013, 04:00 PM

I want to thank you all, I took your advice. I went over and picked up my son from school. I did not tell him what we were doing. Told him we were just spending time together. I told him I needed to go to the mall, were the AD as located. Again he had no clue. We then went into the dealer and spent the next several hours looking at watches, the look on his face and the excitement in his eyes when he realized what we were doing will cherished by me for years.

Again , thank you all

Shikar · 4 February 2013, 04:05 PM

That 30 year old watch looks MINT and current. You make a great selection. It's timeless. I think if you plan on keeping a watch you should go timeless - thinking about how it will look in 10 or 20 or even 30 years.
