Just got a text from the GF waiting at home. USPS just delivered something to the house, registered mail insured.

Hmmmm...how much longer will I be in the office?

Anyone care to bet??

It's her wedding present, and she's beckoning me. How long shall I make her suffer?

Lion · 1 April 2009, 04:59 AM

Well, considering that once you are married= you will suffer till the day you die, I'd make her wait. No I'm just kidding!!!
I guess it depends on the gift and whether you plan on giving her more presents.

jdrolltide3838 · 1 April 2009, 04:59 AM

What's in the box?

CPTL · 1 April 2009, 05:03 AM

It's a mid-size DJ, white roman dial. Or at least it better be, or I'll be looking to send the seller to wait for me at Jonathan Vilma's NYC condo.

Dan Pierce · 1 April 2009, 05:04 AM

I know what's waiting for you at home.......a happy girlfriend.

Guess it's time to buy her a rolex too.

You won't be disappointed. It looks so simple and classic and perfect on her wrist.

Not much screaming. It's usually her whimpering while I beg.

CPTL · 1 April 2009, 05:07 AM

That's why I told her that she had to wait till I got home. This will be my fourth, and I've never actually been there for any of the deliveries.

JimSnyder · 1 April 2009, 05:09 AM

I'm looking forward to this Kevin. We will need pics

Watches and children.

The 31mm is a decent size for a Datejust.
I'm considering a 178274 with pink/Roman dial, jubilee bracelet, and WG fluted bezel for mine.

It's behind door number two!!! Number two is about always a winner!!!

NOW.............. photos please!!!!

CPTL · 1 April 2009, 09:32 AM

She was pretty excited. But not as excited as I was. It's really, really cool getting a new Rolex--even if it's going on someone else's wrist. But, it is a pretty sexy wrist!!

Omega_Precision · 1 April 2009, 09:44 AM

I can never get tired of these threads and seeing that ugly brown packaging.....

....then when you open it.....there's a beautiful Rolex box.....with a gorgeous Rolex in it...

Congrats to her and you of the purchase.

txbikerdude · 1 April 2009, 09:57 AM

looks like you got the larger box too, the one the TT and\or 18K's come in!

kcmo · 1 April 2009, 10:27 AM

Wow, Kevin....the watch looks FANTASTIC on your fiance's wrist!!!!

Way to go bro

I can't believe how small her wrist is! And that's a 31mm?! Wow!

I think the size is perfect, but it looks smaller than the newer style midsize (this one is a D) we tried on at the AD last week. It's really a perfect size for her for a daily wearer. It's her first nice watch, and I have to say that if she's half as happy about it as I am, then she's silly.

Of course, she hasn't stopped staring at her engagement ring for the last month...I think the ring will hold her attention longer than the watch will. But we're both pretty stoked!!

It's a great time for both of you right now! Enjoy it!
