Good morning friends!

Some of you might be in the same boat as me ... you're married to an absolute beauty of a woman who supports (or tolerates) your WISness

I thought it was high time to surprise Andrea with her very first Rolex and needless to say she was very surprised! I decided it would be fun to go to our AD and have her pick one out. We had alot of fun looking at the all the options and she landed on this one ... a 34mm date, silver dial! It was love at first sight for her and it looks smashing on her wrist!

I can't thank my friend Vahee at Raffi enough. He is incredibly gracious and their store always provides for an amazing experience.

Pics below of the sizing with Alex the sales associate.

Happy Sunday

Thanks Rich We were quite surprised that 34mm would work given that Andrea has very slider wrists, but I think it's perfect

That looks wonderful on her, Brian, many congrats to you both, and glad she too went for a Rolex over Cartier as seems to be the trend for ladies these days.

Thank you my friend Funny you should mention that ... we had talked Cartier and IWC, but I think in the end she landed on Rolex and I think it's the perfect choice
