I just wish that my Father may have done something similar! Oh well...................
So what was the watch? I'm guessing a Nautilus too.

Nice letter from father to son. So from the numerous watch / wife analogies I'm guessing that you've had a very strong marriage and wish the same for your son. Or, you've had dreadful luck with a string of different women and you are sufficiently worried ...
