Second incoming within 1 week


I posted the incoming of the BLRO 1 week ago, but this baby was just born. He is our fourth boy. I came from a lower middle class family and still am (perhaps made it a little better) but I wish I can afford each of my boys a Rolex heirloom. Hence I told my AD, my goal is to get four. My first rollie is Submariner from 2019, and I got this Pepsi 1 week ago.

Now I am perplexed whether the Pepsi should belong to this youngest edition? When timing my wife’s contraction in labor, I relied a lot on this watch (though Submariner would do a better job). I spent a lot of waiting and being in the side of my wife with her agonizing wearing with this watch. She did her labor at home without epidural, and it was a long labor (36 hours or so). I think it is just meant to be that this youngest one who should get the Pepsi. I hope the other brothers will have big enough hearts to understand.

Btw my four wishlist are: Submariner, Pepsi, Sprite Lefty (one boy is lefty), and Gold DayDate.

It's sounding like the pepsi should go to your wife. Been seeing more women with jubilee GMTs lately.

What a beautiful baby! Congratulations on both accounts as I'm sure it was a fantastic week for you and the family. Watches can be an anchor for some emotional points in your life's journey. When you look at you're Pepsi and it reminds you of your youngest, it only seems right that he inherits the tool that was utilized to time his birth. I hope you both wear it in good health!

Not Pepsi or Blro 😂
His name is Adri which means Rock or Mountain in Sanskrit, God’s majesty in Hebrew.

I’m doing the same thing for my four boys. So far I have an Omega Planet Ocean and a 39mm Explorer 1. I’ve been on the list at my AD for two years for a Pepsi. Hopefully soon. Maybe a gold 42mm Yachtmaster for my fourth.

Congratulations on both!

I’m sure the Pepsi will be one they fight over.

I asked my AD why me? He told me because I loved to bring my kids to the store. Show him who will the future owners be :)
Perhaps you can do the same haha.

Beautiful baby. Congratulations. I had similar aspirations for my kids. I now have more Rolexes than kids. I’m working on 2 apiece now. God willing, you will too.

Congratulations- my wife and I are expecting our first baby due November 28!!!!

On the list for a Datejust as a present for my wife- our AD is trying to get the exact reference my wife wants, but no guarantees of course.

My plan is to do a Speedmaster to pass down. Something about that watch feels right for a legacy piece.

Many wishes of health & happiness to you and your family.
