My Amazing Wife

I thought I would share an amazing story. 20 years ago I told my then fiance show me a commitment and buy me a Rolex. Well she did it was a 115200 date model with white dial and so beautiful. Well things happen and we fell on some financial hardships and to keep the family moving forward I had to sell my watch and she had to sell her diamond ring. As a husband and provider this devastated me. And I made it up to her and worked my way back and bought her an even bigger and better ring, a real stunner. I did not realize how bad she felt about the Rolex and the fact she could not afford another one so she saved and saved. And yesterday on our 20th wedding anniversary she presented me with a brand new 116234 Datejust. Get this she said she looked at finding a used one but decided to spend the extra money for a brand new one because she wanted a watch that will only be in our family. What a awesome woman. Looking forward to the next 20 years.

Great story and nice watch! However, one part "show me commitment and buy me a Rolex" sounded really funny :)

Best Rolex story yet! Rolex should pay you to make your story part of their ad campaign! Beats the story behind any of my watches! Congrats on the anniversary and the watch!
