Icon20 Unboxing My Wife's First Rolex!

Hi all.

I'm a little guilty of purchasing more than one Rolex for myself in the past few years but this one was special... because it wasn't for me! Finally got the Mrs her first Rolex and what a beauty! Sharing the unboxing video with the community and wanted to say a very special thanks to all of you that helped me decide on the particular watch and options.

Enjoy!

NEW ROLEX UNBOXING

Datejust is the perfect watch for the Mrs. I also bought one for my wife as her first Rolex as well in the past month haha.

She cried the same when we unboxed it off camera first. Didn’t ever imagine buying someone else a Rolex would be so enjoyable lol

Nice gesture!

I have some fond memories of Abu Dhabi and Dubai...great cities that left me craving shawarma! I still haven't found anything in the US that can compare to the food we had there.

Congrats to your wife. My wife also received her first Rolex recently. It was a lot of fun. She thought I was dragging her to the AD for another one of my watches
