No Scott, it took a lot of begging to make her carry it.

Very nice Leo, there's this nice vintage Rolex violin display, but probably costs a fortune.

It's a shame that most displays get destroyed on orders of Rolex. I've had to do that a couple of times, take off any Rolex logos, scribble on old display bases, basically make them unusable. Shame when I know a WIS would love to take a set home

Dont do it! Say good by to your watch fund (or have to get prior approval) or she will be a fellow WIS and have to share the funds!
