Finally! Wifey let me buy a rolex!

Hello guys, just wanted to say I'm so happy i bought a rolex today! Been wanting one for like the past 5 years, wife bought a omega constellation few years ago for me but it didn't quite satisfy that yearning inside lol. Finally she broke down and let me buy a rolex. It's a thing of beauty! Going to start a tradition since we just had a son. He'll get it at 21 and hopefully by then I can afford a presidential. Thanks for reading my story and sharing in my happiness :)

Congratulations. One observation, I think you got the bigger box for Gold models. I might be mistaken but it seems bigger than the box I got for my SS pieces.

That's quite a start!! Congratulations on your new son and his " future watch".
I'm sure he won't mind if you keep it running for him until 2034
Enjoy!
