My new bluesy

So I'm posting some pictures of my new rolex 116613LB (bluesy). I decided to buy myself a treat since I've been having a rough year. In short this is my first birthday since my mom passed away in December. Needless to say it was rough. My family definitely played a big part in my birthday but my new bluesy put a big smile on my face. Not because I purchased a new rolex but for the fact that while my mom was alive I'd talk to her about making the purchase and she always told me if want it you work really hard so treat yourself but at that time all I had on my mind was to spend as much time with as possible. On my birthday I went to visit her at the cemetery (my first time since the funeral) it was a cloudy day. I asked her if she thought I should still go buy my watch and at that moment the sky opened up and this beam of sun shined down on me as if she said yes. (Thank god my dad and fiancé were there or they probably think I was crazy). So I ended going to buy my 2nd favorite watch ever. The first was a Daytona but I didn't like how it sat on my fat wrist. The moral of the story for me is no matter how nice of a watch you have on. Time is precious spend it with the people that truly matter the most. So now that I've gotten that off of my chest here is my sexy blue thang.

And, in my own humble opinion, you have, indeed, an absolute stunner! Enjoy it in good health, and, when you wear it, you will always remember your beloved mother, the sweet blessing that she was in your life, and, smile.
