My Dad Unboxing His New Rolex

[@rompn4x]

Very rare to see companies still respecting loyal employees. Congrats!

+rompn4x It's because they've got more money than earth, and more influence than God.

[@AwHellNo]

Thats called a career, not a job. If you like what you're doing and make good money off it, why not stay until you're ready to retire? Seems like you've never worked a day in your life or have only held shitty jobs.

[@se4821]

2stepracing he's making a shit load of money. Why not stay for 35 years. No companies give out gifts like that anymore. Except for multi billion dollar companies like Halliburton

[@Aramis_Production]

I remember when I opened my first Rolex box, it was quite an emotion. And you don't experience that everyday. Congrats to your dad, he looks like a nice decent man and I'm pretty sure he deserved it. May he wear it in good health.

[@ryangraves2400]

People are fucking idiots. The very fact that your dad has worked there for 35 years, and that the company never let him go is amazing on both ends of the scale. Yet people still have the nerve to say, "ha a rolex, you made that company way more money than a rolex." Do you know what other companies give to their co-workers after 35+years of loyal working? A 30 day notice to go find another job... Congrats to your father!

[@drearaujoa6]

+Ryan Graves He got laid off yesterday.

[@aliquandoinsanireiucundume9017]

Ryan Graves Word!

[@MikeAnderson-mh2og]

Ryan Graves Yep

[@armystrong6920]

The watch is nice and all, but 35 YEARS with the same company is much more impressive!

[@SuperMightyChicken]

+Junior Hinten why is it sad. He seems pretty successful. Look at the house around him. Seems pretty nice. Also looks like he's raised a decent family. The guy shooting the video is his son and seems like a fine guy.

[@krzysztof7648]

+2stepracing It's not that simple to start your own company. Are you 10 or what?

[@GRAFHC]

How cool is this! 35 years is nothing to sneeze at. Congrats to him. Beautiful watch!

[@loyalbaratheon]

"Aren't those expensive?" "35 years!" Roughly translates to "I worked my ass for 35 years, best believe I'm getting a Rolex"

[@Toto-yk3wo]

he deserves it man. hope u live a long life. the dedication is brutal...

[@ChevyBM]

Now that's a decent gift from a company! But 35 years at the same workplace is just great! Congrats of the beautiful two-tone Datejust!

[@carmelpule6954]

Congratulations Dad, may you enjoy it , you certainly deserve an appreciation for your work.

[@HTCMichael]

So much nicer to see a guy like this get one of these and actually appreciate it, compared to all these rich kids you see unboxing rolexs as a fashion accessory with no idea what it actually would mean to go out there and earn one.

[@123space8]

That’s the truth

[@medgasguy]

Congrats to your dad for 35 years at the same company and thanks for sharing the video of a very beautiful watch.

[@Smittysmithsmith]

35 years of hard work. Congrats on the beautiful Rolex

[@faithplus1588]

Sweet watch. Wear it in good health!

[@PhilipSJones]

Super Nice of Halliburton to show you their appreciation like this. Very Classy! Beautiful Watch you chose the right one!

[@PunmasterSTP]

Congratulations! That watch (and everything else in the house) looks very well-deserved.

[@darrelltuttle8298]

Congrats to your dad. It's great to see a company appreciate their emplyees. I just purchased a date just II as a Christmas gift to myself. I love it, love wearing it, and look forward to many years of enjoying it. Tell your dad to get a watch winder for when he's not wearing his Rolex.

[@stuartpeete3130]

Darrell Tuttle good advice I wear an old datejust thunderbird from the 90s and love having the watch winder for days I’m not wearing it

[@Tobi-cb7vb]

Why put it in a winder and put all that unnecessary wear on the movement? The best thing one can to to a watch when he’s not wearing it, is letting it rest. Just keep that in mind.

[@aquablue02]

Beautiful! I'm truly happy for your Dad, he dearly deserves it. I'm glad to see that some companies still do really nice things like this and show their appreciation for years of service. Sadly giving extravagant gifts like this for years of service has become almost nonexistent with companies these days. Your Dad will enjoy this lovely watch for many many years. The DateJust is the iconic Rolex in my opinion. Your Dad made the perfect choice. May he enjoy it to the fullest! It's an absolutely beautiful timepiece! A Rolex can last several lifetimes if taken care of and serviced every 10 years or so. Congratulations to your Dad on making the 35 years and his beautiful gift! Your Dad seems like a very sweet kind person. My thoughts and prayers go out to him.

[@Patrick_B687-3]

Congratulations Sir, well deserved. It is indeed the Icon, and that is the quintessential one. Enjoy it to the fullest.

[@andrew_ep_curtis]

I used to work for a small company in the UK, and we worked closely with Halliburton :) Awesome watch.

[@alexp3752]

Wow! What a beautiful gift. Enjoy!

[@peterlorimer3552]

Well done, I'm sure you've worked very hard for that gorgeous watch. Treasure it, but treasure more the love of your family that, by the looks of it, you're surrounded by. Enjoy your retirement in good health and thanks for sharing this special moment... Take care bye.

[@LouisVuittonPrince]

Congrats to your dad. glad things worked out for him

[@t-mand8318]

beautiful watch by far the nicest rolex ever made, well done.

[@deepstarsix]

Yeah, that's pretty cool. My company gives out Casio's 'Men's Classic' watch after 35 years. Built-in digital stop watch, measuring modes, alarm, the whole nine yards. Super accurate quartz movement. Comfortable rubber strap, sleek black plastic casing. Sorry, I didn't mean to brag.

[@paulallen5443]

$10k Rolex that’s a great gift and great way for the company to show their appreciation for its employees.

[@bc1358]

Great watch and for 35 years, that's a great present. A very good company too.

[@DaCensored]

Congratulations, well deserved!

[@sunnienie239]

Making father happy

[@marktuyet]

[@Behzey2fly]

Gorgeous going away gift.. wish you all the best

[@timothyjohn9412]

Very cool! 35 years!! Awesome!!

[@jacobren7612]

Congrats to your dad

[@martinblanklikeswatches]

That was awesome. Such a nice watch.

[@agoranutrition1367]

What a great company that gives employees this kind of recognition

[@anthonyhauser3063]

Congratulations on your retirement! Beautiful watch !

[@TheAmbSteve]

Wow, that's a beauty! Congrats!

[@peterfrancis14]

Wear it in health! Great piece.

[@harrycee656]

Great 35 anniversary gift.

[@southerncountryboy8]

Sorry to hear he was let go, but I'm sure with that amount of experience he found a new home. Or perhaps after 35 years he decided to head to the house. either way, congrats on the watch. Very few companies value loyalty these days.

[@elotimmy]

Lovely video, he obviously wanted this as his gift, I hope he still enjoys it even if he does't wear it he knows he owns a Rolex

[@evolution8662]

cool gift for 35 years of service...!!

[@johnryner6155]

35 years wow I'm impressed with Haliburton rewarding its loyal employees with such a nice gift , it's what all companies use to do and now it is rare, i want a job with them, p.s congrats

[@BOSIBA]

Beautiful video

[@chowmonkey2002]

Nice watch. Nice token of appreciation.

[@_I_KNOW_HOW_THE_FLOWERS_FELT_]

Congratulations - Even though that company let him go I have to pay my respect to a business that still gives there long time employees a genuine Rolex as a anniversary gift. It shows class on the buisness and respect for the employee. A fine Swiss timepiece is a great gift to mark a special event in someone's life and career. This Gentleman truly has earned this Rolex and I hope he wears it proudly then passes it down for the next generation of his family to wear - And I hope the tradition will continue indefinitely. Just remember to get it cleaned and serviced by a reputable and highly skilled watchmaker that uses 100% genuine Rolex parts approximately every 5 years or as realistically needed or warranted.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

since this video, I think he has only worn it once. haha

[@veilofmayaa]

+TheDaringPastry1313 haha, its a beautiful watch and I'm guessing he saves it for special occasions. Very nice video, thanks for sharing and I hope he wears it more often :)

[@PiranhaJaw22]

+TheDaringPastry1313 should return it then.

[@chrisulfen8775]

I think you should get your dad a beater watch, a Hamilton or Tudor will do it.

[@ZedEnd83]

beautiful, i would wearing it to work everyday!

[@dddddddddddddddd5911]

Why? Doesn't he like it?

[@deepdiver0101]

You dad knows his way around watches too form listening to him describe aspects of it. Clearly an enthusiast

[@yukosaturno]

well,and he got the best model!!

[@BrianWMay]

Congratulations - a magnificent gift too.

[@jsnyder0512]

Fantastic video! Enjoy it.

[@bryanwoolcock8909]

Working man hands.

[@big500]

35 years service.......time to take it easy, enjoy the watch and relax....

[@philiploveswatcheswhiskies9832]

Beautiful watch happy wear😊

[@MattMorris481]

Wow my dad worked for the electric cooperative for 41 years and only got a plaque, oh wait I remember at 20 years they gave him a Swiss army watch. Very nice Rolex I’d wear it everyday.

[@joepasquarello1273]

Sweet. The problem you're going to have is seeing the time, especially in low light, because there is no contrast between the hands and the face. I had the same watch and changed the face to a lighter color. Enjoy your watch in nothing but good health.

[@dantebullock8660]

35 years y'all better get me a farari & a trip to Paris. beautiful watch though. gorgeous watch actually! !!!.

[@michaeljelliot]

This may replace my sub c as my favorite Rolex!! Congratulations!

[@Domain_Man1]

In the UK, most companies don't ever reward employees. I worked for 45 companies, held several Management posts and was never 'rewarded' for the insane effort I put in. We got a good staff discount, but that was really it, certainly no comms, bonuses and no nice watches.

[@tmegagod7599]

Wow u father its a great man and THE rolex its fantastic

[@baby001000]

Very nice piece, congrats

[@trolmct6972]

beautiful datejust, wear it well!

[@fjones1914]

Nice choice of watch.

[@blee3205]

hell of a gift. i hope im lucky enough to get one one day.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

+ty gable Work for Halliburton ?

[@blee3205]

I dont actually. i just love rolex watches and i have even started a savings account devoted to buying one. lol.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

nice haha it is crazy how many parts they have and they are 100% hand made. it is mind blowing how much work goes into watches

[@thomasmuller7184]

Great choice. Only a day date is better. ;) Enjoy!

[@jrgenbjlseth2391]

You could not be more wrong, horologically speaking

[@natusMCMII]

I'm interested what the other gift choices would have been

[@benzboston]

wow nice watch.after 35 years they should have bought him the presidential.good luck with the watch young fella

[@LordDavid04]

That champagne dial is the same as in my Oyster Perpetual Date reference 1550, circa 1970's!

[@heangchanmanith8833]

What is the key to check the fake Rolex oyster datjust 36mm ?

[@ktcmojo]

No offense!!!! Congratulations to your dad!!

[@AOE5578]

congratulations

[@rcrxjlb]

How can I get a job at Halliburton, I live in Dallas Tx...?

[@shanewarburton81]

Enjoy your watch

[@aonghasmackenzie2313]

nice piece i have the same one 2nd hand but still its a beauty

[@NorCalLuxury]

Awesome

[@Aaron-fb1pq]

Thats a nice watch

[@lbulletsl4419]

Damn, must be a great guy if the company gave him that

[@avd1697]

nice! well deserved

[@BRado]

when its Halliburton you can afford to do this

[@TimeAndCrown]

Excellent unboxing video :) Too bad he dosn't wear the watch. A Rolex is not meant to be lying around - it should be worn!

[@tobiasbrown581]

For sale?

[@peterholman7821]

must be nice. I got a pack of chewing gum after 34 years working in the nuclear industry.

[@sunilnavelkar433]

It's beautiful

[@evans6710]

Nice congratulations

[@michaelcoode1689]

Congratulations sir I worked 38 years in same company as a mechanic and bought my own gift a omega seamaster as my boss is a tight ass and a bully

[@barrebabyugk4life]

Beautiful watch! was that a retirement gift?

[@chil1isauce]

so nice..!

[@esquiredalegunn]

very nice.

[@MarkMphonoman]

Nice. 👍

[@Spaceman2484]

“Aren’t those pretty expensive” lol

[@kungagurung9290]

whats the model number

[@harrynelson9203]

Fucking beautiful

[@jimboland5895]

What company gives a Rolex to an employee? I think I got a balloon once from my employer.

[@gozawoz]

Beautiful piece, though I must say, I wear a $34 Timex Expedition that keeps time just as accurately. My wrist is too humble for a Rolex, I guess. Again, though, beautiful watch and congrats to your dad.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

+Barney Fife Oh, my dad would never have bought a Rolex for himself, because it is quite pricey. I got a 44mm black and gunmetal grey invicta watch for Christmas. It isn't very expensive, but has a great look. It isn't really thick either. More of a standard size

[@gozawoz]

amen to that

[@Thevoiceofreason84]

A rolex doesn't just tell the time it tells everyone how you spend your time

[@gozawoz]

Ooooh.... OK, I get it now. Thanks for setting me straight!

[@jozsefnyisztor2109]

When I had my 25th year service anniversary for the company that I work for, I was called into the managers office. I received the "complement sandwich" Praise, room for improvement, praise. I however did not receive any sort of service award.

[@brianshaggy]

next week is my 1st year anniversary working at bk lol i wonder if I'm gonna get a free large #1 XD

[@aidanmcdonald2814]

Do you know what the exact name of the watch is? I love it!

[@cclayhammer]

And he choose a Rolex Date-Adjust for his retirement gift? Excellent - well done! Any Rolex is the all - time, genuine real deal - not like those nerdy smartwatches that becomes obsolete and out of style in about four years. Congratulations on your retirement!

[@digits242]

For those saying he wasn't that excited he probably could be camera shy.

[@TheAcenightcreeper]

Very rare people stay at companies for that long, even more rare is companies rewarding their employees for that accomplishment. Congrats, glad to see haliburton using money they got from the american taxpayer to reward some of their employees

[@ATR.records]

What co. Does he work?

[@bethpearson9442]

nfa5511 Dick CHeney's company....Halliburton

[@cali4niaangel15]

He said stem. It’s a crown fool.
