A 50 Year Newb...
I posted the following in the 116613 vs 16613 Forum...I see now I should have put it here...sorry...
 Since I was a kid I have always considered "Rolex" to be the pinnacle of perfection (I know this may not be technically correct but it has been my perception none the less). I have also considered this brand something I would never personally be able to own but last month my dear bride surprised me with this beauty while we celebrated our 30th Anniversary/belated Honeymoon in Antigua,WI. How lucky can one guy be?Excellent Forum BTW, who knew there was so much information in one place about these amazing instruments?!?!? Thanks to all the great contributors who have already taught me so much! In honor of my wife's favorite saying, just go with the flow... |
