BravoDelta 22,282 Posted March 27, 2021 My wife presented me with this brand new Rolex 126600 Sea-Dweller for my retirement. What an awesome gift to commemorate this milestone! Many thanks to her for this incredible watch, not to mention navigating the Rolex market minefield and ultimately landing this beautiful piece. What else is there to say. This retirement gig ain't so bad on to the pics... 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rokerite 2,377 Posted March 27, 2021 Nice pics of a beautiful watch. Some of the forum nitpickers would have rejected that if it was a rep from a TD as "the coronet on the rehaut is not spot on at 12.00". There you go boys the Genuine thing isn't necessarily either 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deju 1,836 Posted March 27, 2021 Brilliant, top marks to her that’s a brilliant way to commemorate the beginning of you doing all those DIY jobs you promised her you’d do for 30 years... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_B 2,401 Posted March 27, 2021 Awesome watch! Great sentiment, my wife would never do anything like this! It just goes to show how anal we are about CQ as the rehaut coronet isn’t 100% in line to the 12 marker, not shitting on your post just pointing out how much we require perfection! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dave47 6,412 Posted March 27, 2021 CONGRATS on your retirement, BD! At least you are one of the lucky ones to be able to do that! It's a beauty! I have the rep from Stan, I believe, but I'd take a GEN anyday. AND a salute to your wife for knowing what her hubby would treasure. She is most definitely a KEEPER!! dave 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
