New Watch for the Wife

This past Friday, I picked up a Rolex for my wife. It's an early '90s 18K Lady Datejust with a President bracelet. It came with an original anniversary jubilee dial, with its' original tapestry box and papers. It is like NOS, my watch guy got it from a woman who only wore it on very special occasions.

My wife is very happy with it, I was worried that the dial would be "too over the top for her" but she loves it. (Thought I still don't think I'm getting the LV back)

Here are a couple of quick pics:





The "Presidents" together:

Beautiful combination.
Both are not over the top.
Both are simply gorgeous.
Very well done

Very very nice. I wasn't always a fan of the jubilee dial, it looks too busy. Looks good on that watch though.
