Spontaneous purchase = wife's first Rolex
Well sort of spontaneous anyways. We went out looking for shoes for a job interview she has coming up and I took a side trip to an AD. She had been looking at getting a 31mm datejust, blue dial with diamond markers but everywhere we looked they said they had to order it from Rolex as no one had it in stock. I drug her into the AD after she couldn't find any shoes and had her try on a couple. She ended up picking out a 34mm blue dial Air-King for her first. She was pretty set on a blue dial as she kept staring at my YM everyday since I got it. AD was running a 0% interest for 12 months if I put down 20% so that took all of 30 seconds to say ok, go size it up for her. Here's the obligatory shoddy cell phone pics. Hopefully she doesn't get the "sickness".
