Yes it has been that long.
We went thru thick and thin and the ride is not always rosy.
We managed to pull thru and in celebration of our decade together, I bought her a gift.
Although our Anniversary is not due until September, with Rolex's frequent price increases, it would be a good idea to pick one up now rather than later.
The Rolex Lady Datejust ref: 178274.
As you all know, Rolex Datejust are the most widely available models in the Rolex lineup.
The available dial variations are too much to be listed.
To start it off, my wife went for the stainless steel model with white gold fluted bezel, rhodium dial and white gold applied roman markers and polished white gold hands.
There is no lume present.
A very classic setup that won't break the budget sky high.
Case size is a very ladylike 31mm...
She considered the 36mm men's sized datejust as well but decided against it as it just looks too big.
I am glad she picked this one.
The dial really is a beauty.
Brushed to a sunburst effect.
The white gold roman applied numerals plays nicely with the light to provide enough bling and contrasts.
The dial itself appears almost white under normal lighting conditions but can quickly change to grey (like the above picture) or from a distance, could even look pink.
Maybe it's just a reflection from other sources.
The white gold fluted bezel provides an additional bling factor to the watch.
Beautifully finished.
Girls just love bling... more so if it's diamonds... but can't afford that yet... lol
There was a choice of either going with the oyster bracelet or the jubilee bracelet.
Jubilee bracelet won at the end of the day simply because of it's bling factor.
Did I mention girls just love bling? :-)
These newer jubilee bracelets are now all solid and should not stretch like the jubilees of old.
The absence of the clasp is welcomed as now when the bracelet is fastened, only a small Rolex Crown is seen.
Outer 2 lanes of the bracelet is brushed while the centre 3 lanes is polished.
Very comfortable to wear according to my wife.
Classic looking watch from an iconic brand.
Just suitable for a milestone celebration.
She is extremely happy with this watch and will be for a long long time... well, at least until our 20th Anniversary celebration that is... lol
Like my friends say... "Wife happy = Life happy"
Can't say I disagree.
I am not a fan of the men's datejust so I am sticking with my Submariner at the moment.
Still makes a good pair in my opinion.
hi Hanz, my wife also picked up a 178274 stick dial and it is a jubilee as well, can't deny that lady do love bling effect.
