Double Incoming / X mas presents wife surprised me!!!!
First off, I'm sorry for the late Christmas post, I was on a long vacation with my family and we just got back. I had brought my wife a new Rolex to celebrate her birthday but decided to wait until Xmas to give it to her. I also purchased a BNIB Sub-C for my nephew who will be graduating from college and keeping with a promise I made him. When we were wrapping his watch, I kept saying to her that I think I should get one as well but I decided not to because I already have two ss subs. Well when Xmas came I surprised her with her watch and she was thrilled. I notice that I also had a present the same size as hers and when I opened it up a little and saw the green box my heart started to pump and all I could think was that she got me the WG Smurf that she made me put back in Las Vegas. We opened them together and it wasn't the Smurf but its brother and I am happy just the same.

It was and awesome Christmas, the only down side is that everyone else were looking for a Rolex box with their name on it.

It was a great year and plus we just celebrated 25 years of marriage this year. In the end, its family and friends that make me the most happiest in life. The watches are just nice tokens of appreciation that we are blessed to show each other.

She has been wanting this watch every since she tried it on in Aruba.

More pictures to come when I can get her to take off the stickers. Ha Ha

I just want to thank the Rolex Forum and all the members on here for giving members a place to come and indulge in the love of watches without feeling guilty for buying watches that most would deem too expensive and not worth it. On here I don't feel like I must down play a purchase and members are genuinely happy along with you for your purchase and for that I say Thank you.
