Nice to meet you, is that a Rolex?

Angelina Pivarnick met her biological father on the Thursday, Feb. 8, season premiere of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation.” It went well, but there are a few signs of impending rough waters.

As stated, one of Dad's first questions to his long-lost daughter was about her watch.

“Can I see your watch? What is it, a Rolex?” Dad said. “I wish I could afford a watch like that.”

“Maybe one day you will,” Angelina sheepishly said. “Get it for a good deal.”

Dad, noting that Angelina is on “Jersey Shore Family Vacation,” asked if she was making “big bucks.”

“Um” was Angelina's hesitant reply.

Angelina later told of how she used to get hooked up with ice-level tickets for New York Rangers games at Madison Square Garden.

“What do you get hooked up for now?” Dad asked.

As Pauly DelVecchio would say, awkward.

There were some positive takeaways away from Moore's Tavern in Freehold, where the reunion took place. Dad wants to walk Angelina down the aisle at her next wedding. Angelina's fiancé, Vinny Tortorella, drove Angelina to the reunion with her dad.

Dad's also a Jersey Shore guy. He was referred to as “Alfred William,” a resident of Monmouth County, on the episode.

“Almost every weekend I'm half polluted,” Dad said. “Opening your mouth sometimes gets you in trouble.”

Dad said he had no idea he was Angelina's father, nor did he seem familiar with her “Jersey Shore” history. No details of his relationship with Angelina's mom were revealed beyond that Angelina was conceived when he was about 22 years old.

Angelina also became aware of her biological grandmother on her paternal side, and met her aunt and a half-sister, who looked just like her.

“My half sister's hot,” said Angelina in the days leading up to the meeting. “Vinny's (Guadagnino) going to try to bang her.”

“Of course, in this monumental moment she automatically thinks Vinny is going to want to bang her (half-sister),” said Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi. “Girl, where does your head go?”

Angelina's search for her biological father was a plotline on the previous season. It's sparked intrigue on Nicole's part, who was born in Chile and adopted by a couple of from Marlboro, New York.

“My (biological) brothers might be Meatballs,” Nicole said. “They were probably arrested on a Chilean beach somewhere. They probably love wine and charcuterie boards.”

The premiere episode then fast-forwarded four months. Mike asked the roomies to come over to his Holmdel home for a big announcement. They're waiting on Angelina, who's shown in her SUV, parked in Freehold, sobbing.

The comeback of Ronnie Ortiz-Magro was teased in a trailer, but he did not appear in Thursday’s episode. He was not included in the show’s opening cast credits.

Spoiler alert

In December, Angelina told Life and Style that meeting her biological father did not go well. She was hopeful that her dad would ask her to “get ice cream” or “to go to the movies,” but it “never happened,” she said.

“It’s more like, ‘Buy me a car, buy me this,' " Angelina said. “The first night I met him, he grabbed my Rolex and he was like, 'Is that a Rolex?' "

“I was like, ‘Are you (blanking) kidding me?’ " Angelina said.

“Jersey Shore Family Vacation” airs 8 p.m. Thursdays on MTV.
