Ladies Rolex

[Firpo]

Was picking up a jewelry repair today and noticed a REALLY pretty Rolex. Got me thinking “that sure would look pretty on the Mrs wrist”. I hightailed it out of there before I cracked and asked to see it. My guess is a jewelry store in Lawton is likely not the best place to be buying an expensive watch…..at least not the one I found myself standing in sure wasn’t. They charged me $68 just to solder on a clasp-loop for my wife’s gold necklace she managed to break drying off after a shower.
Problem is the wheels are still turning on this one so thought I’d ask my OSA buddies if you have any suggestions, advice and direction on where I might find a trusted source for a possible purchase?? Every now and then a guy has to treat the lady in his life with a special gift. That way she doesn’t look to closely when that Krieghoff Drilling finds its way into the gun safe.

I’m certainly not a Rolex guru but I like to look at them. Take a pic if you can. If it’s pre-owned, start a conversation with the owner/ manager or whoever and see how firm the price is.

I'll say it again, and again, go to Watches Etc. I've dealt with them several times and have been extremely happy with all business done there. They were recommended to me by an AD since AD's don't sell pre-owned...Charlie and his crew will take care of you.

IDK about Lawton, they have some legit jewelers but it's still Lawton which means sketch by default.

Watches also gives you a written appraisal for current Rolex retail value for any watch you buy from them for insurance purposes. They will update it at your request as retail value increases.

I'm sure your wife will really love any Rolex that you get for her @Firpo.

I purchased mama a brand new Rolex when she retired back in Aug. 2017.....I jokingly tell her that my quartz $140.00 Citizen looks just as good and keeps as good or better time than her Rolex and she just rolls her eyes and looks at me like I'm crazy.

Here's one like I purchased for her......model # 178273 with a champagne colored dial and a jubilee bracelet.

That is an absolute beauty @Hangfire

@Firpo I don't know if you're looking for another wife, but if you are I can cook pretty well and am handy around the house. I guess we could see how I look in a wig if you want.
