Well, guys, there you have it. Seems like Rolex runs in our blood.

Listen to this...

My grandson, Ronan, is very fond of my watches and always loved the TT Blue YM as his first preference over the other one, but somehow never cared much for the Breitling.

This morning he came over with his parents and little Shalom to our place to spend the day. The minute he walks in, Ronan points at my wrist (with the new 16610) and screams: "Grandpa...new watch...wow, I love it!! Is that a Rolex?"

Well, there you have it...such class from a 6 year old!!

And here's what he looks like...

Well, since you have that new 16610, you won't miss your TT YM, why don't you give it to him.

He will love showing it to all his friends at school.

Best,

The President

I see no smileys in your post but I'm still pretty sure you can't be serious. Would you give a Rolex to a 6 year old?

Forgot the smiley. It's late here, 0225!

You should take a pic of him with the watch on

Smart boy, JJ.

Looks like you'll have no worries at all deciding what to get him for a graduation gift

Now the question is: Will giving the YM to your grandson qualify as a flip? In which case, all of us who told you the YM would be gone within a year will have been proven right.

Seriously JJ, I believe it is your task to educate him on fine watches. It would be nice to present him with say, an Explorer, upon the achievement of something big

This is what I would do.
