Your Golden !
Don't know your Dad but I'll bet the days of the bigger and more
expensive gifts from his kidz are on the curb.
Quality time and zero mandated gifts are top shelf.

Rolex oyster is maybe too small? (mid size is 36mm)
Maybe the TS can give some pointers? Dress watch? or more sporty? Classical styled or modern? automatic?

Some suggestions? Definitely an automatic. Metal band, round face. I don't think he'll catch on to the square face. Something that's classy and can be worn on any occasion.
My dad knows very little about watches and I am afraid that the appeal and history behind many of these watchmakers will be lost on him. I wanted to get him a Rolex submariner but he expressed a preference for Omega watches. I think it's because we watched a lot of 007 movies together. I guess all the signs point towards a Seamaster?
