A great Rolex for the first. Is the Pepsi wall clock yours or in the A.D. showroom? I'd love to have one.

Very smart, buy hers first, then yours. Might take the sting off when you bring the 116713 home.
Just got my 16713, and love it. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 |

Very nice, I have always liked the Explorer. N
By the way, is that a 36mm?

Purchasing your first Rolex for someone other than yourself shows great character. Congrats to your wife and I hope you are able to get one for yourself in the near future. You're a good man.
