Incoming for my Wife

Been looking the last few months for a 116233 with a factory white diamond dial for the misses. She has a vintage OP 1002 and a 26mm two tone DJ black dial. She never wears the DJ as it is too small for her current taste. She fell out of love with the OP too. The white diamond dialed DJ is the only watch I have ever seen her show much interest in. Her 50th birthday is this year so I was hoping I could find a mint used model but was prepared to buy new if I could not find one.



Got a text this morning that my buddy found a 116231. Actually like the RG better and more importantly so did the wife. Put a deal together and it will be here in the morning. Wife is actually excited!



Thank you to Kirill

Thanks a bunch guys. Her birthday is not until May, but with a hard to find model had to look early. All of you know what this means...I will have to buy her something else for her birthday--since I will give her this tomorrow. We are actually in Austin TX on a little work/play deal on her birthday. At least she will have some diamonds on her Texas Timex

Congrats to both of you. I bought the exact watch for my wife birthday last year. IMHO, the RG definitely looks better than yellow gold.
