Best Birthday Gift Ever!

I'll keep this short and to the point. I have wanted a Rolex for years and this would finally be the year I pulled the trigger. I thought I found a watch that I was going to purchase, so I did brave move and asked my wife before I spent the money. Well, she then confided that she bought me a birthday present that she was keeping a surprise, however now that I was about to make this purchase, she pulled out the box and gave me the box (weeks early). I'm very happy to report it contained a new GMTIIC. I couldn't be happier and I'm really enjoying this new watch.

I was looking at a Submariner but I really love the GMT. I'll let sufficient time to pass and go and get the Sub. on my own.

She is a fantastic wife. She understands that boys need toys! :D

A fantastic birthday present. She made a great choice IMO.
I think if you are buying a Rolex for someone you can not go wrong with the GMT. It's beautiful.
How many of us are asking our other halves to read through this post, or leaving it open on the screen.
I've just ooo'd and aaa'd a little bit to bring it to my girlfriends attention.

"Aaaaah, Isn't that nice. Honey come and read what this lovely wife has done for her husband" "Just from those few words you can feel how happy she has made him"

First Seed in a long line of sowing.......... Planted.
