First Rolex for my little bro

My brother-in-law’s a young guy who has become very successful, but he doesn’t spend much money on himself. He recently served as the linchpin in closing a lucrative real estate deal for himself and his partners, and to say thanks, one of the partners showed up to a celebratory dinner with a surprise for him, in the form of a new blue dialed OP.

He’s not on here...yet...but he’s really excited about the watch. First Rolex for him and I think he’s catching the bug. Pretty psyched for him and I am really proud he’s doing well.

Quick phone wrist shot.

Right on, gents, this is good stuff. The partner that gifted him the watch is a pretty serious collector, and from my perspective, is likely to help me bring my bro to the dark side, where there will be multiple acquisitions.
