[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About a month ago I stopped into [b]the jeweler our family does business with[/b] to put my name on a list for a Rolex. The plan was to give it to my son on his 16th birthday in March of 2027. Friends told me it can take a while to get one. Out of the blue I got a call this weekend. The watch arrived Friday afternoon. Am I crazy to give it to him for his 15th birthday?[/quote]

:lol:

Rolex screams parvenu, my dear, but you are free to do whatever you want. Your son probably relies on his phone, but if HE wants a watch, and of the Rolex type, why not? Maybe you should ask him first.

I’m certainly not buying him a Nautilus or Royal Oak. His group of friends have all developed an interest in mechanical watches suddenly.[/quote]

His friends have the interest but does he have an interest? I’ll play along, on the chance this post is real.  My kids wouldn’t want this so I say no.  They would want a car.

I’m not opposed to expensive gifts if you can afford them.  We bought our oldest a car and will buy our second kid one at 16.  We would never spend thousands on a watch.  [/quote]

He’ll get a car when he gets his license. I’m talking about a birthday gift specifically.[/quote]

OP, if your 15 year old is given the best of everything, what is there to aim for? [/quote]

Nothing. Not your child. 
Let OP and son EAT [/quote]

Oh yes, they’re so oppressed. [/quote]
