New Rolex for the wife

It's a little late for a holiday gift but I picked up the wife's first Rolex, a TT Datejust 178273 today. I was all set to buy her the smaller size Datejust for Christmas but we did a "one last check" at the local AD and when she saw the 31mm size, we just had put it on order. She is really pleased with this one! I think I was just as excited as she was when it arrived.

Nice!

I'm in the process of finding something for the fiancee. It will probably not be as nice as the watch pictured above. Congrats!

Congrats and good choice on the 31mm! I've been on the hunt for a very similar watch for my wife as well!

I bought my wife the 26mm a couple of years ago...and it is nice....but wish I had got the 31mm which is a better size, with the new trend in larger ladies watches, and easier to read. Hope she enjoys it when it arrives!

Excellent choice. I recently got my wife a M serial DJ 26mm for her petite size. Wished she was able to wear the 31mm but she was not comfortable. Maybe her next watch .....
