Incoming for wife

Well... I wanted to test the waters with my wife and a Rolex. She hasn't seemed too into it, but she loves it. I picked up a 26mm oyster perpetual with a salmon dial. Could get expensive for me now.

Lovely watch and well done but be warmed.

Mine had no interest in watches then pressganged my Polar ExpII 3 years ago which she wears virtually every day when not wearing her 29mm gold YM formally and recently has taken to wearing the 14060 or my PAM312. Its cringeworthy seeing her crashing through swing doors when shopping.

So make sure she does not get too interested.

Good.... I hope it ends up being a "starter Rolex" for her and maybe you can soon take her shopping!

Thank you all. She has said a few times that was the one she wanted. She didn't want a date or anything because she doesn't want to be setting it. I kind of wonder if she gets bored with that one, which one she will want next. She started with a Michele watch, then had a Jacob & Co. and says the rolex feels different and more luxurious than anything she ever put on. So yeah, i may have gotten myself into trouble. It's worth it though. She deserves it.

I also know with her being 4'11 and having the tiniest of wrists, that she won't want a man size watch. She tried my Sea Dweller on and it looked hilarious on her. My Bell & Ross 46mm swallowed her whole arm.

That's great. Happy wife, happy life.
Would love to see a color picture of that dial, as my wife would probably love this watch.
