New Rolex for the better half

Well I just pulled the trigger on a new Rolex for my wife, which will be her first.
She really liked the new rose gold and stainless Date Just and I found a good deal and placed the order today. Hopefully everything goes through and I can get some photos when it gets here. Oyster Bracelet, dome bezel with a black concentric dial. I never thought she would be into watches but she has been watching me enjoy my two tone blue sub I just got a few months ago and I guess she is catching the Rolex Fever.

I wanted to check out Jarad's sale looking for that 40% off watch I could not do without and found out Jarad's in PA never carried Rolex. Must be before I can look at a second for me she wanted one which is fair.

Congrats on your wife's watch!

I just picked up a pre-loved diamond DateJust for my wife today too. My plan is to surprise her on our 10th anniversary in May, but that 'll be hard. I m so excited to give it to her because it's the year we got married and it has ten diamonds! Corny, I know...

Only a photo for now

Must be something in the air or that time of the year but from your replies there will be some very happy ladies pretty soon.

You guys must have some amazing women in your lives. I don't know one woman worthy of a Rolex unless it is my mother.

I would absolutely love to buy my wife a Datejust, but she is not a watch person. If she ever becomes one, I would buy her one in an instant, and probably enjoy doing so as much as buying one for myself.

I am really getting excited about seeing this beauty in person.
They only had one left in stock and my order is in so hopefully it will be shipping Monday for Arrival Tuesday. The only thing I kind of wish it was a mid size but my wife tried both 26mm and the mid size on and said she liked both,
