Gave my wife her birthday present today....

Her first Rolex:



I need to take some links out. I initially tried to do that myself but was worried about stripping the screws/ ruining the bracelet. Watch is pre-owned but in PERFECT condition.

I bought the dial from a company that takes oem rolex dials and refinishes them. The fit is perfect and the cost is reasonable. It is a MOP Pink which is hard to tell from the crappy cell phone picture. My wife had wanted a pink dialed watch for the longest time. The only company I know that makes one is Cartier but I am not a fan of their products.

The salmon colored dial looked too orange. The one I got is a girly pink color :)

If you are going to size the bracelet yourself, you just need the right tools. A tapered flat head screwdriver will avoid any scratches during this process. Be sure to use the low strength loctite when re-inserting the screws.
