A great Rolex for the first. Is the Pepsi wall clock yours or in the A.D. showroom? I'd love to have one.

Very smart, buy hers first, then yours. Might take the sting off when you bring the 116713 home.

Just got my 16713, and love it.

surely not, it is not a real Rolex clock, no intention of making anyone here think its a real Rolex

Very nice, I have always liked the Explorer. N
By the way, is that a 36mm?

Purchasing your first Rolex for someone other than yourself shows great character. Congrats to your wife and I hope you are able to get one for yourself in the near future. You're a good man.
