OMG, wifey finally got a Rolex

This isn't about the new watch, but about the fact that my wife of 30 years finally got a Rolex. She has always been rather frugal, but today while at the local AD, she spotted a model that caught her fancy. A 179171 ladies date just in everose and steel.

I am so proud of her, as her career has really taken off the last few years and she certainly deserves it. Now I don't feel so guilty about the ones I've purchased.

Thats great.

I have tried to convince my wife she should get one as well. However so far she has been reluctant, so I don't push her.

Just a quick picture from outside. Her's is the 3rd from the left. The new Date Just has a much nicer bracelet than my 1986 model. Solid links and invisible clasp.

Very nice indeed! They all look great together! I did the same and purchased a lady datejust for my wife so she could enjoy as well. Thanks for the picture. Enjoy them in good health for many years. Cheers
