Wife's First Rolex

Just picked this little beauty up from a good buddy of mine that owns a little jewelry store here in town..it's a ref. 69190..serial dates it to around '85 when she was born, which is kinda cool..got it for a great deal only $700..best part is she loves it! But I still think I was more excited than she was hahaimage.jpg

thanks guys..haha yea $700 is a damn good deal, which is why I couldn't pass it up. I've bought prob 5 different pieces from my buddy and he has given me insanely ridiculous deals on all of them. I purchased a D serial 116203 DJ from him last year...gorgeous piece, blue concentric arab dial for $3000...wasn't too keen on the two tone so I flipped it for my 14060M. Best move I could have made but now I want to get into vintage. Figured I would start my wife off with her first nice watch with a nice vintage Rolex...its simple and classy. Flies under the radar. Keeps crazy accurate time. Like I said earlier, I'm pretty sure I like it more than her haha.
