Showed this picture to my wife this evening, and asked her "what do you think?" She replies, "It's ok, kind of looks like your Explorer, doesn't it?"

Showed her a picture of the white and black dials, asked which she preferred she says "Black". When I looked surprised she says "Hey, you asked. Why, are you thinking of getting one?"

I guess I should be happy she leaves me alone to my toys.

Lol. My girlfriend also thinks all rolexes look alike. Be happy she supports this ridiculous hobby. PS - I absolutely love the black dial ceramic Daytona. Shocked at the outpouring of love for the white which I don't much care for

Black dial, white dial, it's all good. We're all in this hobby together.

Jack, you're one lucky guy.

tkerrmd · 23 March 2016, 11:13 AM

Yeah baby! The black is awesome!

Sounds like we have the same wife

brandrea · 23 March 2016, 11:23 AM

You're a lucky man to have such an understanding wife.

I thought you were saying she told you to get on AD waiting list.

BNA/LION · 23 March 2016, 12:01 PM

Yep, we are both Lucky!

Actual cut and paste of my email to my wife on 3/16/16 when the new Ceramic Daytona was released to the world...

That made me flashback to my parents' opinion of my lightsaber collection growing up

Etschell · 23 March 2016, 01:22 PM

The black is simply the best ceramic daytona imo.

DCgator · 23 March 2016, 06:11 PM

Lucky you. Wife=classy.

My wife used to think all watches look alike, until she borrowed my 1948 Omega automatic. That was 4 years ago and I never got to wear it again, until I bought her OP 28mm with a olive green dial last october. Now she is eyeing DD with a green dial and strap...

Chaps

I have bought 3 Rolex in the last 18 months and my wife has never complained. I offered to buy her something "special" for a wedding anniversary and she mentioned that she would like a gold watch.

To cut a long story short, we spent a day in London and came home with a gold 31mm Datejust with a diamond dial.

She spends 10 times as much as I do on clothes and beauty treatment, so it is purely a matter of give and take and not to take liberties.

Regards

Mick
