Hi,
i've got a few weeks left till my first child is born.

To mark the occasion i wanted to buy a watch to look after and hopefully give to him in 20 years time.

I'm a fan of Rolex purely on the basis that my Submariner that i wear everyday has survived almost everything i can throw at it, which has included dealing with a slipped angle grinder and the odd missed hammer blow (i'm in the motor trade so occasionaly have to get my hands dirty! wink)

My initial thoughts were to get an Airking with the engineered bezel and the blue face, a few non authorised dealers have these below 2k (not bothered about it being from a AD - its a keeper!)

Can anyone suggest anything else that might fit the bill? Ideally i'd want it to be slightly sought after in 20 years time!

Any advice appreciated
cheers,
Gary

I'll give him a choice of mine or the new one, if my Sub is still alive!!
