No games, only birthday gifts
Four years ago, I posted about my (my husband’s) first Rolex. A submariner on the day of his birthday. Fast forward to this week… I got the call: he has an early birthday surprise! This makes Rolex #3, and the first which isn’t steel, so this is new territory for us
I am very grateful to my local AD, SA & team. I mention the “no games” in my title for those who have yet to get their first, or for others. The sub was a one month wait (granted that was 4 years ago), and this one was a 2 month wait. Thank you for letting me share! |

Do you have a sister who’s single and over 35 by chance? Ideally someone insecure enough to fancy an underachiever in his early 50’s?
What a fabulous reference and incredibly thoughtful gift for your beau. I wish I could be a fly on the wall to see his expression when he opens it. Well done @tutu2008 |
