Incoming for the wife! (Maybe me?!)

Have been playing the waiting game with my AD for about 5 months. I have a relationship with this particular AD and figured this wouldn’t be a terrible waiting game for a ladies OP 34 or 36 in blue or Tiffany Blue. I had sold my 16613 Bluesy 5 or 6 months ago to buy her something and have been a bit let down that I hadn’t received anything for her. I wanted this watch from the AD with her name on it so she could feel the same excitement that I do, otherwise I would have went grey.

I dropped in this afternoon to the new AD. Told them what I was looking for and the timeframe I was looking for it in. This is supposed to be a push present for my wife as we are expecting in June!!:) long story short, the sales associate ended up offering me this DJ 36 which I absolutely love! I know the motif dial is a bit rare and it just looked so stunning ( if she doesn’t love it, it fits me lol) Will be giving it to my wife tomorrow for our 4 year anniversary and as an early push present. She told me she didn’t love the fluted bezel or the jubilee band, but I have a good feeling she will be head over heels for this!

That's beautiful! An early congrats to your wife! Also, a huge congrats to you and your wife on your 4 year anniversary! That's exactly the DJ spec that I want, with the fluted bezel on Jubilee. Stunning!

I would wear that watch, especially if it were a 41mm.
Very Nice!

Absolutely! This AD did say this is the first and only motif dial they received and they are quite a large AD

Good luck, I hope she likes it

If she does like jubilee bracelets or flutted bezels, there’s a good chance it’s yours

She specifically said she liked the oyster bracket and smooth bezel lol. I’m hoping she has a change of heart!

Congrats and Outstanding! Absolutely gorgeous in every way! This exact configuration is my favorite DJ. Ever. Now, if Rolex ever releases a 41mm, I’ll be the first in line.

Congratulations my friend to you and you’re wife on both new birth and anniversary. I personally love the dial on this model, and you can’t go wrong with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet, it’s a stunning piece she will absolutely love it. Giving up you’re bluesy as to well done
