BTW, I was served 2 glasses of red wine, and chocolates, too, while they were doing the financial stuff.

That’s the way you should be treated at an AD. Well done. Congratulations on that beauty Kat!

Many congrats. That dial is meant to be worn with TT. Looks great.

As for Wimbledon and your bucket list, no reason not to go! At least cost-wise, it would be far less expensive than the watch. :-)

My new SA, who I already had a relationship with (bought our wedding jewelry from har, and my original SA, Dave, got a promotion to another location) asked me if I’d like to see the watch. I said, “Sure”. She offered it to me, and I am now the proud owner of yet another 36 mm Datejust: the Wimbledon bi-metal on oyster with yellow gold fluted bezel. Good thing my husband was with me, and approved.

Thanks, Mario! It’s a great dial. Much nicer IRL, than in pics.

Actually, he wears a nice Seiko diver I gave him. He loves it. Never takes it off. He didn’t even wear a watch, when I met him. But, would you make that same joke to a guy, about what the poor wife’s relegated to wear, in their incoming thread?

Thanks. Agree this dial screams for TT. Not sure about ticket prices, for Wimbledon. Did you see the cost of the Super Bowl tickets? I imagine it’s similar.
