New Rolex for Christmas

There is a new Rolex in the house this Christmas, but this time it belongs to my (much) better half! The wife has tolerated my watch habit for years, and today it was her turn. It was a total surprise--not something she was asking for--and she about fell over when she opened the box.

Oddly enough, I was just as excited about giving her a first Rolex as I was when I received mine. Of course, it looks much more stunning on her lovely wrist!

Congratulations! May she wear it in good health.

I got my wife this same watch last year, I believe its 31mm...she loves it. She wears it more than her 29mm TT Yacht-Master. She says its much more practical and attracts less attention than the TT YM, also the dial is bigger which she prefers and no date keeps the look clean and simple.

She will be very pleased how well it holds up too.

cheers

Nice touch, was it a suprise or was she aware what the present was?
May she wear it in good health.

She was totally surprised. She admires my watches from time to time, but a Rolex is something she would never have bought for herself.

Now that was a good call. Not only do you give the woman you love a beautiful piece of art as a small token of your love for her, but ... you also bank a whole bunch of positive watch-karma coming out of this Xmas.

Congrats!

James
