The Perfect Pair

A big thank you to Tony aka "justrolexes" for all of his help and support in keeping things on the down low for my husbands surprise B-Day gift.

When the time came to pick out a gift, there was only one that I knew would blow my husbands socks off. Yes, you guessed it.

My Sub has a sexy GMT Master II Pepsi with lug holes to play with.

I gave the gift in a childrens gift bag and I could tell he thought he was getting a matchbox car or something like that. When he got to the box with the Crown he paused for about 6 seconds (seemed like 5 min) and just stared at it. He totally loves it and couldn't be happier.



Family out at dinner



The Sub is happy to have a playmate

Dan as you know the nice thing about this watch is that you can change out the insert. I have a Rolex Coke insert coming in this week.
