His and Hers - Double Professional Incoming!

My wife and I recently celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary! I wanted to get her a nice gift to mark the occasion and naturally decided on a Rolex.

I ended up choosing a Yacht-Master 37 in Steel and Everose with a Chocolate dial. It has the relatively new 2236 movement with the Syloxi Hairspring. It's a really beautiful watch in a perfect size for my wife .... slightly oversized for her wrist but not too big or comical. Not to mention the Everose looks great against her skin tone.

About a month prior to our anniversary I head over to my favorite AD, Wilson & Son Jewelers, in Scarsdale, NY. Mike, one of the owners, a friend and a true WIS himself, has the watch on hold for me. It has the new dial with the crown at 6 o'clock. I pick up the watch and hide it until the big day.

Little did I know, during this time, my wife and Mike were colluding on a gift for me! My wife pays just enough attention to my constant watch talk to know I've been waiting for a BLRO since it's release last year.

Well lets just say I was completely blown away and it's an anniversary we'll always remember!

Huge thanks to Mike and the team at Wilson & Son!

KEEP. YOUR. WIFE.

she reminds me of mine. she has been colluding with our AD to get me something for my upcoming bday too, she's just not that good at it keeping it a secret.

not that easy to find one who supports the hobby, or better yet, multiple expensive purchases like that. make sure you get her some nice stuff too and make it a joint hobby

That chocolate dial YM in rose is stunning—is that a 40mm?

Both incredible watches, couple, and huge congratulations.
