Icon17 what happened on my carribean trip (Pics)

i posted this on TZ but i also asked for help here so heres the update :
so a few weeks back i posted about buying rolex with discount etc in the carribean, mainly st thomas or st maarten.
Well anycase my wife and i came back from the trip. Beautiful weather, we really lucked out.

well i am sure you guys wanna know about the watches LOL. Any case i was going down looking to get a datejust or exp ii (Both SS)
went to every dealer and all i got was 10%. Any case i tried them both on , and i like the whitegold DJ. but i passed on the island with the color combo i like. BLUEface red date.

then we arrive on st maarten (Goldfinger) very limited color selections with SS DJ Oyster bracelet. so tried on alot of them watches. So i was banking on the exp II since every rolex has one. then i ask my wife which one she liked.

So i chose the DJ or Exp for the price, then my wife comes outa no where and tells me to buy the TOG blue face.

How can a husband refuse a wifes request

but its so tough choosing. TOG felt the best outa the bunch, maybe its the white gold ( plus i like the heavier watch)
She also got a Cartier Tank Limited Edition ( pink face ).

carribean = spending !!


Thanks all for the replies earlier.

Since i bought it from Goldfinger i shouldnt worry about a fake? i know they are AD's , just want to be reassured, first big purchase.
