Buy him a Patek, so when he passes it down to you, you're "aged" enough to wear it....

Power la that 1...hahaha...but we havent heard of her budget yet

I thinking of getting a PP for myself...coz I know my dad will not buy it and pass to me hahaha

Buy him a Date just. Beautiful watches.

Depends on what your dad likes ... does he like watches with big fonts ... like the Pammys? If Pammys are out of budget can try the MMs.

Of course, you can go for the ubiquitious rolexes. I see a lot of elderlys in chinatown wearing them. Rolexes are well regarded, good value for money and prestigious - can't gold wrong.

Yes, if the intended recipient is an oldie like me, you should get him a goldie. Like a solid gold Day-date or a 2 toned Date-just.

And yes, it can be loud but when you have bad eyesight like me, you need bright golden objects and oversized numbers/markers on dials to see better.

I've considered the more expensive Submariner or GMT but it doesn't feel 'right'.

And also depending on your budget - you can get a 1980's 2 toned Datejust for $2k and up (including jubilee bracelet). Or less if you get an earlier model but no quickset so you got to help your father change the date every 31st day of the month.

Hey lingling, Please don't worry what you are buying for your Dad . Whatever you buy for him whether it a Rolex or a swatch , it your Love and care that your Dad wants from his little girl !!!
Anything will do as long within your budget, just remember you still got a long way to go

if your dad is under 50 and is middle built and does not like gold, maybe a sports series such as explorer II.

if your dad is above 50 and likes gold, maybe a DJ or DD else the SS DJ or DD would suffice.

Start saving and you will be able to affort the best watch...
