Finally got the wife a Rolex

Yesterday I was emailing back and forth with DavidSW and was moments away from wriring the money for a BLNR. On an impulse, purchased her a watch instead.

It arrived today around 9am and started opening the box and stopped and told her she should do it, it's her watch. She was super excited and wore it all day.

Think I can pull off the 36 mm? Thinking of borrowing it lol.

Thank you everyone.

When I told her I was going to buy another watch she simply said ok. I was planning on making her watch a Christmas gift but she deserves it. Shes really good to me.
I'll just make the GMT II a Christmas gift to myself.
