Maybe if they have a Seiko box or other brand box they can put it in so that when he opens it he'll really be shocked! You can set him up really good by saying they can't get the Rolex yet but I wanted you to have this.

Congrats. He will love the watch and you even more for this gesture.

How does he not notice $14k missing from the bank account, which would spoil the surprise?

I went to the boutique and paid for it today. It’s not for me it’s for my husband! I will be going to the boutique tomorrow morning with my husband and the staff will present him a green box! It’s gonna be a complete SURPRISE! I am excited to see his expressions

I will share more pictures from the pick up tomorrow. Here is a sneak peek. Thanks for letting me to share.

TRF rocks!
Always nice to see one go to a good home.
Was this from a Dubai boutique ?

Amazing score! Did you actually find a helpful dealer in Dubai? Every one I go to is really unhelpful.
