116509 Incoming , for the missus

Got the call today...

My wife has a bunch of lady’s Rolexes but she never really wears them, only on special occasions. Too many diamonds, too gold, too small etc.

Instead she wears my TT SubC as daily and she’s always wanted a Daytona because the size is just nice as a lady watch.

So last year I had asked my AD to keep a lookout for a full gold Daytona, so that if for some reason she still ends up not wearing it, I can wear it myself :)

I’d do a car shot but I stopped wasting money on cars a long time ago and so will spare you the beat up Toyota steering wheel...

Congrats. I wish I skipped cars buying and focused on Rolexes instead. Would have 30 of them by now that worth a fortune of joyfulness :-)
Congrats to your wife, she got the taste. Don't really like small watches on ladies wrists. Always found big watches looking so good on her wrists.

I just received the same reference. I love it. Something a bit different. I was lucky to acquire mine in December before the price increase. Congrats!

Thanks. And yes, it looks small on me which is why I gravitate to bigger Rolex watches like SkyD and JC. But the 42mm Exp II and Milgauss are good size as well.

I must say the weight of the WG daytona is very nice, it almost feels like my JC on the wrist, weight wise.

Beautiful watch, great choice for a lady too (my wife’s daily is a white 116520). Hope she enjoys and wears the wheels off of this one.

The gold pieces have an amazing weight. Almost feels like the watch hugs your wrist better. The Explorer II is a very proportional watch in my opinion and it’s incredibly comfortable. I find it more comfortable than the Subs and GMTs.
