My wife surprised me with my first Rolex, this morning. (apologies for the poor pic) I've had this one in my sights for a while and am very thankful to finally own it. I look forward to my (or her) future acquisitions.

Thanks guys. I am a long-time enthusiast, but I would have never purchased one of my own volition because I'm kinda cheap like that. :). But, I do have an amazing wife.

Definitely. She's also passing me the TT DJ that belonged to her father. I should have it in a few months.
