Hapy New Year TRF

My wife has finally bitten the bullet and joined the Rolex Club

After a LOT of thinking, and trying on many models in a variety of sizes, she's now the very proud owner of a beautiful 31mm Lady Datejust.

So far, just one very poor photo from my phone - with bezel protector still in place

It's hard to describe, so with the aid of a couple of pictures from the Rolex website, try to imagine it with the purple face, inset diamonds at 6 o'clock and Jubilee bracelet, but with the more traditional fluted bezel.
(The purple face is less obvious than in the pictures, but in the right light it's a real head-turner.)

It's a stunner!

I'll try to get some better photos of the real thing soon.

Great Watch.

Tell your wife Congrats.

HL65 · 7 January 2011, 09:01 PM

Congrats to her--hopefully she does not get full blown sick like the rest of us!!!

We had so much fun sitting for 2 hours with the salesman browsing through all the possible options in the Rolex dealer's catalogue.
I never knew there were so many possible combinations available. Fortunately, the impending rise in VAT (sales tax) helped her decide ;-)

Congratulations to you and your wife!

AndyT · 8 January 2011, 01:45 AM

Cheers guys

We're looking forward to seeing the family tomorrow and receiving even more disapproval. They see a Rolex as a waste of money. I see it as a lovely thing to own and be seen with, an investment, and an heirloom. I'm proud that we have a Rolex each.

I'm sure we've all heard the old.... "But it's only a watch" argument
