For my sweet wife... After looking at quite a few different models and visiting a lot of different dealers, we decided to get the 116599 4RU because as luck would have it, one presented itself at a fantastic price just a few days ago. I think the rubies are a very nice accent. We are awaiting the arrival of the smaller bracelet so it will fit my wife's wrist. Here is a preliminary shot

Does anyone else have this model or its sister models?

h999r · 20 January 2014, 07:41 AM

Very Nice. For women only though.

Red Rocket · 20 January 2014, 07:47 AM

LOL. Yes, my thinking as well. Should be able to have it re-sized by next Friday, hopefully.

Red Rocket · 20 January 2014, 07:49 AM

This is also going to take care of a couple birthdays and Xmases, if I play my cards right lol!

HL65 · 20 January 2014, 08:26 AM

That is one serious watch for her so congrats in advance and yes that should cover you for a while!

Cru Jones · 20 January 2014, 08:29 AM

Woah! You don't see many of these on the boards. Congrats to both of you.

Trouble15 · 20 January 2014, 08:37 AM

Wow, first time I've seen a women's Rolex like that! Congrats to you both! Looks great on her wrist. Once the bracelet comes in, post some more pics.

petenyc · 20 January 2014, 08:39 AM

very nice

crowncollection · 20 January 2014, 09:12 AM

very nice piece, you rarely see them

luvsub · 20 January 2014, 09:40 AM

Very nice daytona.

Red Rocket · 20 January 2014, 10:44 AM

thanks. Yes they must be rare, in fact it is the only one we've seen like that "in the flesh". Most dealers, even Wynn, said they have to special order items like that. So when we went to a local official dealer store and there it was on display, that was a nice surprise. Then when he calculated the price it was a heckuva lot less than we had been quoted before. So, it was now or probably never. She's worth it

Racerdj · 20 January 2014, 11:02 AM

Wow, what a stunning Rolex! Congratulations

Red Rocket · 20 January 2014, 11:07 AM

thank you. You guys are very generous.

Here's a couple more pics, I'll get some that are in focus later next week lol.

congrats on an amazing piece of jewellery

golf51 · 21 January 2014, 04:32 AM

That is one very sexy watch.

HACKNSACK44 · 21 January 2014, 03:29 PM

Very nice!

tkerrmd · 21 January 2014, 03:36 PM

Yeah baby that is a watch !!!! Massive congrats to the wife you are quite the hubby!!

evilfij · 21 January 2014, 04:22 PM

As a male, I would wear that. I do not see it as a woman's watch.

Red Rocket · 25 January 2014, 12:34 PM

Everything went as planned, they over-nighted the smaller strap and its fine. The dealer gave us a nice Rolex micro fiber polishing cloth for it and a display stand. We have to get a 'pillow' for it to store in her jewellery box too (next visit).

The dealer did have a Daytona with a blue strap that had an all-sapphire bezel and diamond points on the dial - I have to admit that is a nice watch a man could also wear. I think its a new model, maybe limited edition

Red Rocket · 25 January 2014, 12:39 PM

Its hard to photograph with the iPhone; seems it has trouble focusing because of all the rocks

Red Rocket · 25 January 2014, 12:41 PM

BTW I found out the dealers have 30 days to pay for Rolexes. This is a special order watch, so the AD had to take a leap of faith. We were told it can be 6-8 months to order one. It was in the store 2 days before we saw it and out it on hold. Lucky!

kilyung · 25 January 2014, 01:15 PM

Am I sick for wanting to wear that?
