You may need to get a couple of Datejusts, for your wife, to give to your daughters, someday, too. They look quite invested, as well. You have very possibly created 2 female WISes. It was my Dad who got me interested in watches.

Fantastic!
I’d save it for the actual Bday for sentimental reasons. But I’m in the minority.

Chalk up one for the GOOD GUYS!!!!! Love seeing this type of story and the whole fam taking in the moment. I’m always doing it solo, fibbing about the price, etc so this is really sweet. I wish you the most sincere congrats on your piece and hope you wear it in good health sir!

The Rolex desk was occupied, and while my kids were patient, I was happy to accept the watch anywhere.

I asked my girls if they were interested, it was a big fat eye roll, "no"
My wife is just not a Jewelry or watch person, kind of sad, kind of great haha
My wife did say, if you are eventually going to give that to your son we will need to find something of similar value for the girls. I don't disagree
