As a husband and provider this devastated me. And I made it up to her and worked my way back and bought her an even bigger and better ring, a real stunner. I did not realize how bad she felt about the Rolex and the fact she could not afford another one so she saved and saved. And yesterday on our 20th wedding anniversary she presented me with a brand new 116234 Datejust. Get this she said she looked at finding a used one but decided to spend the extra money for a brand new one because she wanted a watch that will only be in our family. What a awesome woman. Looking forward to the next 20 years.
That is a fantastic story/wife, Your Wife has good taste as well a classic DJ, I'm totally blown away what a fabulous gesture wear it in good health

there aren't very many ways to improve on a Rolex, but that is definitely one of them.
