New Rollie for Her

Hi all,

Just returned from my AD with this new beauty for my significant other, hope she likes it. In fact, she had better like it.

This is the same AD I purchased my 16610 sub from in December. Now she says the increase in prices is definately coming soon and will be higher for TT and gold models. She suggested that now would be a good time to get that white dial explorer before it went up.

She promised me my usual discount and interest free financing if I stopped looking at her cleavage!!!

Hi! Very Nice!

I believe JJ's sister has one similar to that if I'm not mistaken.

Top notch! Looks like a nice one for my Anne as well. But I'd go for a white/roman combo. The machined bezel looks good on this watch. Good choice and she doesn't have to worry about getting it wet or anything. Bomb proof!

That's right, my sister Nina, got the same one, but with a smooth bezel and no date. Congrats to your wife, Kakalika on an excellent piece.
