The wife enters the Rolex world...

Very nice watch, so classic. How can one say Rolex is "bling-bling" when you see this watch? On a lady's wrist, it should be awesome.

Don't like Rolex's on straps normally but those two look perfect together.

well she's not into jubilees (or any metal bracelet)... she only likes my other watches on Nato's... maybe that will change in the future right ?
