Incoming for the Wifey...
I have had my eye on the 37mm Rhodium YM for my wife since it came out at Basel this year. 37mm is her preferred size, so it would be a perfect fit, as well as her first Rolex. It just so happens we were in Carmel last month and stopped in an AD there and the same watch caught her eye and she fell in love with the blue script and second hand. That was enough confirmation for me!
I finally stashed away enough lunch money to call my FAD today to get one on the way to me. My wife just finished up her PhD in a very difficult field and is also carrying our first child, so I figure this would be a perfect time to surprise her with her first Rolex. Also, before anyone asks, yes, it was quite difficult ordering the 37mm over the 40mm, as I have no interest in ever "borrowing" the 37mm. However, I wanted this one to be hers and I was afraid that wouldn't happen if I ordered the 40mm.  I'll be sure to post pics once it arrives... |

Stunner. I just got my GF this as her first Rolex.
 But she really wants this one but just steeper in price and will wait just a year or so before she we can get her one.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
