Holidays are Coming
Holidays are coming and wanted to be ready.Got these for our 2 boys (ages - 28 WG Daytona, 31 DSSD).28 lives in Europe, travels frequently, 31 in California.Both are on casual side, figured these would be appropriate, and have read how comfortable the Tropical strap is. Also under the radar. Considered 2 - 5167's, liked the date window, however I liked the feel of the 5164's more, and the second time zone for the traveler.I generally wear PP 5980/1A-001, PP 5270 Series 1, and occasionally a Rolex Double Red Sea-Dweller.Now I think I need a Tropical watch also??
