Trigger Pulled. Wife's Bday Prezzy is otw.
In 2010 I bought my wife 116234 36mm DJ, fluted bezel, black diamond jubilee dial and oyster bracelet. She very rarely wears it because it probably on the blingy side to wear everyday. So for the last couple years she had commandeered my Omega Speedy Pro which she loves. I hadn't worn it much during the few years because I wasn't happy with the size. Finally decided to trade up and get her another Rolex. We spent countless hours online looking for the right watch. First it was a 16570 Explorer II, then it was a 116264 TOG, then it was a no date sub. She does like to wear larger watches, 40mm+/-. We went into the AD yesterday to try on some different models and finally she was back to a 116234 which is what she has. This time we found one on the forums here. It is a 116234 36mm DJ, fluted bezel, black tuxedo dial and jubilee bracelet. What we are going to do is swap the two bracelets once it arrives. I ended up finding a great seller that gave me a fair trade value and I paid the difference. I just fedex'd our watch this afternoon, missed the noon cutoff for next day because of a meeting. Super pissed about that since the watch won't get here till Wednesday, one day late....my wife is super excited tho. Haven't bought a pre-owned Rolex off here before so I hope everything goes as planned.
