My first Rolex and my Mom too

Well I bought the Datejust II Champagne diamond dial two tone. Bought my Mom her first Rolex as well for well putting food on the table for her family everyday. Hope the pictures come out. I bought these watches at Royal Maui Jewelers.Name:  uploadfromtaptalk1453517663976.jpg

Thanks! I loved my Breitling Super Avenger but Rolex is on another level.

What a great post! Both watches are beautiful! I love the dial combo.

There's not many better feelings in life than being able to buy your parents a Rolex. I had the joy of purchasing one for my Dad this Christmas. He's 70 years old and wanted one his whole life. I have so many and I believe that I wouldn't have ANY.... if it wasn't for some of the valuable lessons he taught me about life and business. It felt great to get one for him. I am sure you feel the same joy buying one for your Mother. Great post! All the best to you both! (Now we just have to hope our kids are as good to us - if you have kids).

Yeah I'm hoping the Submariner goes up to a 41mm or 42mm. If not, I'm looking at the Deep Sea.

Be grateful your mom is still around - and more grateful you can give back while she can enjoy it.
