Ok guys, need some help. My father is turning 65 in December and my brother in law and i are planning to buy him a watch. My dad has turned into a bit of a watch guy in the last 5 years or so, but not name brand mostly invictas, swiss legend, and things of this nature. For the life of me i cant tell why. At this stage in his life he is comfortable enough financially to have several gens and is a director of a large IT department in a pretty big company. That being said, in the past i bought him an FA jones which he loves to wear.
Now he has the invicta submariner - which he wears often. But i tease him for it all the time because ... its an invicta. I think we all know what i mean by that.
I think he needs some form of a Rolex Sub in his life, and here is my dilema. I do not know what to get him. I feel like there is no point in looking at a regular sub 16610 as we are not planning on going to the TC route and the others are fairly sub par to my understanding. (I am not a rolex guy though so this isnt my forte)
I have had a 116610 Ceramic and wound up getting rid of it as it didn't suit me well and it was a v2 which had minor issues and several tells. But alas, here is what i think we are looking at in terms of options. I would like some feedback from the Rolex community. What are your thoughts
