Hi guys. I am new to high end watches as I have had only cheap ones in the past. I am getting married this summer and it's tradition in my girls culture for her parents to buy me a jewelry gift. She explained to them I would prefer a watch over a ring or necklace etc. They now have told me they want to buy me a Rolex. They didn't give me a price limit and sent me images of 2 they found at the store that are priced at 12.6k and 15k to give you an idea.

I am a 30 year old mechanic. It will be a watch for occasional weekend use but mainly formal events. Some opinions about what I should look into would be appreciated. I am starting my search now on their website.

After reading a bit about their selection I believe I would prefer a Daytona since it was created for car racing which peaks my interest much more than something like a yacht master.
