Inheritance

Sooooo, bought my then fiancé' a bnib explorer from perpetualman88, aka David. Got a great deal and David is terrific. My now wife becomes a Rolex fan and drops a hint that she likes the 116610 lv. Picked one up from David last week and hot damn, it looks great on her. Took possession of the explorer and didn't realize how much I missed it; what a great watch that wears so comfortably. She beat the hell out of it so gonna bring it in for a polish. Got myself a great everyday, everywhere watch, it just cost me a new green sub to do it!!!!!

Nice to share a passion with your other half. I always contemplate buying mine a watch but her heart is in purses and shoes

I totally can relate to this. I've been trying to think of a way to get my wife interested in another watch just so I can get 'my' Explorer 14270 back. I know it was costly, but congrats, well done!

My wife could have cared less about having a Rolex. Thing is when I bought her one she didn't tell me to take it back
