Rolex

I would like to get your opinions on what Rolex I should buy in 2010 to commemorate the birth of my firstborn (boy), last month. My idea is to buy a 2010 Rolex and keep it in the safe and give it to him when he turns 16 or 18 years old . First, is it a ba... 

Sub, GMT or Dayto, it doesn't matter. What does really matter is that YOU, his father, thought about buying him a Rollex from his year of birth, that you will keep secret in a safe till his 16th or 18th B.day. Any of these 3 models is iconic, so you can't... 

I would do the same but I have three girls. However, because they are all divers, I have decided to buy them all a medium sized Yacht Masters. I think that Yacht Master would make an outstanding present. Taking into account the platin dial and bezel, this...
