The day I've been waiting for...

Ever since I was in high school, I've always wanted to one day own a Rolex. I would always go by Ben Bridge and gaze at every single one they had on display, both men's and women's, wondering what it would be like to have one of my own. Well, some 20+ years later, my wife bought me one for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We were married in 2007 so she found me a 2007 Submariner two liner. Couldn't be happier.

I will say, our bank account is one. So technically, in a way I bought my own as well... she just gave me the green light. I married well.

One interesting thing I forgot to mention. I've always purchased all of her jewelry from Ben Bridge here in Albuquerque... Well, the watch came with papers and the AD who sold to the original owner in 2007? Ben Bridge. When she saw that, she knew it was the watch.
