A Thoughtful Gift For A Rolex Guy?

I am way out over my skis but I have a good friend that did me a thoughtful favor that needs a thoughtful reply.
He is a Rolex guy, a medical doctor, that makes 100 times more than me, so a monetary value gift is out of the question.
Any ideas for a small gift? He is not a watchmaker or historian, just a fan and everyday wearer and I am coming up a blank.

Heck, I always thought Rolex was a division of Rolodex.

Anyway, thanks for any ideas and I'll head on back to the Omega side.

Whenever I hear a reference to “flexing their rolie” in pop culture, I think this

If he likes his watch, get him a wall clock that matches it for his office. They come it all models.

I've done it with a good friend and hardcore Rolex freak...I got him a sports Seiko SKJ007. He doesn't wear it much but he cherishes it quite a bit.

I think a book is the best option, affordable and more useful than cheap trinkets of questionable origin

I could sell these. Relatively inexpensive, though not cheap. Attractive vintage displays, and they could be used.

Hey Jimbo, I'm a Rolex guy too, I'd love something "Rolex".

Can you spring to a 1978 5513 for me?

😁

Seriously, a thoughtful gesture by a genuine ole boy, whatever you decide I'm sure the benefactor will appreciate the thought more than the gift.

PS: I hope he's not a Geriatrician and you're not just hedging your bets mate!
