what Rolex to buy a newborn son?
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...
Excellent idea!
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...
Excellent idea indeed,
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...
Great Idea
i think either one will do its the fact of buying and holding for so long that makes it special im sure he will love it, i too would like to be able to do this one day
Fantastic idea
Nicolas is correct it is the thought more than the gift that really does count. Go with your instinct. But it's great to see that you are doing something like this - and it has certainly inspired me!
I love this idea...
Since you're asking for opinions...I would personally go for a an Explorer II or a Sea Dweller (not sure why but I always prefer the look of the SD to the Sub) those seem more dual purpose (as is the Sub of course) - for both daily wear but also can be wo...
thank you all for you advice :-)
I appreciate the responses and am glad that you all like my idea. I decided to go with my initial gut feel and ordered the 2010 ceramic Sub Date from my AD, today. It should be available in a couple of months, I am told. I chose the Sub because it is a ru...
Congratulations
Wilson first of all congratulations with the new born, and I share the idea, I my self would like to get one for my son but I have to get a 2002 and for my daughter 2004 and I starting to look wich models where lunch in does years. Good luck.
The Sub C would be a good choice
Since your son is born in 2010 and the new SS Submariner Ceramic bezel is also lauched this year, so they are in sync.
if it was me....
I would want to introduce a spirit of adventure...i'd go for a brand new Explorer and keep it absolutely intact....or even better perhaps go for the watch that will likely become iconic...the green Milgauss and keep it perfect...the Reggae Rolex.
