20 wonderful happy years of married life!

Aloha Members,
Well I know I have been talking about the anniversary gift I was getting for my wife and myself. Well the wrist shots are incredible. My wife was blown away. She kept saying I have a Rolex! I have a Rolex. Man it was hard keeping it from her for so long. But I succeed and she is one happy lady. I think she called all of our kids that night and told them she has a Rolex.
My wife's watch is just so beautiful in the sun.
Funny thing though afterwards she said let me try your sub on. She said wow that looks nice. I thought o oh this is not going the way I thought it would go. I have a funny feeling I will wake up one day and my sub or GMT pepsi will not be on the nightstand.
Actually the watches looked very nice on her wrist, however I told her they looked out of place. Ya right they were spectacular on her wrist.

I have created a monster!!!!!

Anyway enjoy the pics as much as my wife is enjoying her new watch.

Aloha from Kauai.

Tom
