Speedy for graduate
My son is graduating this May and we would like to reward him for his hard work with a speedy. Not sure which would be a good first quality watch for a 21 year old computer engineer.

Hi All!Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself as a new member of this amazing forum! I have always had an affinity for watches and all things manufactured and/or engineered. I have just started to become, what I consider to be, a serious watch collector and would love to have your opinions on which Rolex sports model you all would suggest for me. I work in real estate development so I am constantly shifting between rigorous work environments and more gentile settings (think architects offices, bank meetings, etc). I currently have a Speedmaster Professional on a leather strap as my daily wearer and wanted to add something to alternate with when the mood strikes me. I love my Speedmaster but a little bit of variety is more than welcome and I have come to really appreciate the Rolex brand!I have plotted out what I feel will be my future collection, I think its important to consider the entire context of the collection to answer the question I have posed:Daily Wear: - Speedmaste
