Incoming for the trophy wife!

My Ad personally dropped it off! Was not the experience that the wife was looking for, but for me I loved it! She got her watch and didn’t get the chance to window shop for anything eles, lol. This new service model might not be such a bad thing, probably saved a few thousand dollars since no impulse shopping was available. She was offer the white dial version of this a few months back, but passed on it, it didn’t look as nice as the white on the 5711, it was a little off, I think this was the better choice!

It’s like silver white, in the SS bracelet it almost blended in somewhat, so she passed, but on the gold, it would definitely pop a lot more, what did she end up getting?

Thanks guys for the compliments!

Congrats to you and your wife! It's beautiful.
I saw some Lady Nautilus on display at my AD the other week. My first time seeing any sports models on display, was pretty cool!

I'm sorry if this is just different customs but isn't it a bit mean to refer to someone's wife as trophy wife, even if it's your own wife? lol

Yes, was thinking the same. I guess in some ways a compliment but generally "trophy wife" is pretty derogatory to professional/successful women. My wife would 100% be offended by that and my wife is hot.

Ya, I smack my wife on the ass all the time, she is very aware of my double meaning humor! I guess we are just not that uptight, don’t get me , I know when to be classy, funny or serious, but after 17 years of marriage 2 kids and up and downs, you kinda learn to love each other unconditionally. I would think our friends are also really laid back, but to each there own...SMACK!!

I bought the white face 7118 for my wife a few years back. She uses it everyday and cooks, gyms and does gardening with it on. Stopped freaking out long ago about how its getting used :)
