New Rolex ideas for birth of child
My wife and I are expecting our first child. I find this as a good opportunity for a new watch to mark the occasion.
My wife does not want to know the sex until it arrives, but I am torn. My main question is, what watches would commemorate a boy or girl. If it is a boy, I would prefer something with a blue face. Possibly a 116622 blue face or DJII blue face. Without getting pink, what are some girl ideas? Everything I currently have, has a black or grey face. Please share your thoughts. Thank You! |

I figure out what I want and then try to tie it in to the child.
For example: Daytona BOY: it's a racing watch. All time classic Girl: Women are wearing bigger watches. Flashy watch with the PCL See? Hulk: BOY: Obvious GIRL: Green is a flashy color and goes well with anything. I could go on. |

If its a boy, buy yourself a watch. If it's a girl, buy your wife a watch. Makes sense to me.

Congrats
To commemorate the birth of a baby girl, have you considered the Polar Explorer? The white face could be a nice addition to your collection. |

Buy yourself and you wife watches to celebrate the first child. If boy, you can give your watch to him and your wife's watch to daughter-in-law, vice verse.
Congrats in advance. |

I have tried to buy my wife a nice watch and she has no interest. She'd rather have bigger or more diamonds.

I would buy the wife the 36mm Date Just with the pink floral dial. Take a step back for you and when everything calms down go get what you want.

Focus on being a good parent, not your watch.

New Rolex ideas for birth of child
My wife and I have 2 older children and I am trying to figure out a way to angle for another Rolex. This gives me an idea. If only we weren't both "altered" as they say. Oh well.
I say you should get a gray and red grape OP, just to be prepared for the birth. Huge congrats. Your life will change forever b Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
