My wife has been so good to me, and our three little girls. I took her to the AD today, and let her pick out the watch that she deserved.

She selected the midsize DJ like the picture except she wanted the machine turned bezel. I was floored when she started to pick out her watch. I didn't think she paid attention, but she had an eye for what she wanted.

It will be in Tuesday!

I never thought she would ever wear a nice watch, but she took her time, and found a sweet watch.

Freakin cool!

sleddog · 5 September 2010, 11:12 AM

Nice choice Paul.....Is it a 36mm??

Art 1 · 5 September 2010, 11:13 AM

That's really nice.

Wisconsin Proud · 5 September 2010, 11:32 AM

As long as she knows it doesnt have a date window........

JUSTROLEXES · 5 September 2010, 11:36 AM

That is awesome Paul

and welcome her to the Club

GradyPhilpott · 5 September 2010, 11:53 AM

Beautiful.

Are the OPs 36mm now?

Pep04 · 5 September 2010, 12:00 PM

I don't know if I should congratulate you or feel bad for you.

If she gets the bug....... it's gonna be really expensive with 2 WIS in the house.

:r ofl:

:lol :

My wife says it is a really nice choice.

Last thing I need is her getting any ideas.

Fearsome Puppy · 5 September 2010, 12:18 PM

Nice watch, your wife has good taste...

dligg72 · 5 September 2010, 12:22 PM

That watch looks amazing! I would have guessed it to be a Explorer not a DJ.

therolexguy · 5 September 2010, 12:47 PM

That's great Paul. My wife has a midsize too and she LOVES it. Can't wait to see her wrist shots. Hope the little ones are doing well.

davestan · 5 September 2010, 12:50 PM

A lady of great taste - that is a beautiful combo

ParisDakarBmw · 5 September 2010, 12:54 PM

Thanks guys!

I think it's 31 or 36 mm

It's not the tiny one. Forgive me if I don't know the ladies models that well. It was smaller than the older mens DJ, but bigger than the small watches.

As for her becoming a WIS......I'm perfectly fine with that. She has been distant with most of my hobbies until I became a bench jeweler. She then enjoyed the little things I would make for her.

She has a Belair wrist watch that I got for her 2 years ago. She enjoyed it, but I change the battery once a year.

She was very happy when I held the baby strollers, and let her shop.

She didn't like the cyclops......She didn't like yellow gold....She wanted it simple, and not flashy.

She liked the midsize, and white dial. She then picked between the pink lume, or blue. She liked the blue, but there wasn't one in the counter. It will be in Tuesday. Jenn also mentioned the engine turned bezel looking better than the plain, ot fluted. It just so happened that the one being delivered has the engine turned bezel.

I don't have the specs because It wasn't there, and we made the purchase before the 8% price increase. The increase should be this week, and they were preparing tags for the change. I figured to get the gift before the increase.

Tuesday we'll have a side by side pic, and a few from the AD.

She told me she was "A happy wife". I'm glad to see her enjoy our hobby.

sakuraba · 5 September 2010, 12:54 PM

Don't want to nit-pick Paul, but isn't the watch in the pic an OP which is 36mm and the midsize DJ would be 34mm? It would also have a date.

Just making sure, bro.

Congratulations!

Your guess is as good as mine on the size. 34mm sounds about right. it's the watch in the picture, except engine turned bezel.

Non date model.

I was watching 3 kids, and paid for it, after everything was settled on. The reciept is for a different watch, and they are doing an exchange when the real watch arrives. This was to finalize the purchase before the price hike.

Paul...a most excellent gift for your wife! She has very good taste, the watch she chose is beautiful!

If you can't afford a Rolex then you have bigger problems. If you can afford it, get her what she wants and life will be great.

Pep04 · 5 September 2010, 01:26 PM

Paul,

When did your AD tell you that the price increase is going into effect?

Let's just say once my Yorkies grow old, I'm getting a pair of Dobermans. Next will to make sure the guys know I'm a crazy cop, who loves his girls.

Guys are sneaky. I know this first hand. I'm going to have a constant game of cat & mouse going on.
