My Wife's Christmas present this year. It is SS/White Gold with black face and pink markers. It also has the updated bracelet with solid center links and machined clasp. It's a very nice piece, she is pretty happy.

Nice watch. Amazing pics thanks for sharing your thoughts and pics with us

I've never seen that particular model / dial combo before.

Amazing.

kcmo · 31 December 2007, 10:00 AM

Great gift! I'm sure she's thrilled!

Lisa · 31 December 2007, 03:42 PM

I love the lume shot! Is this a 36mm dial?

Paulie · 31 December 2007, 03:49 PM

Hi Lisa,

I think the dial is smaller than that it is a 31mm case.

I love this watch ;) It is very comfortable. I was very surprised to open it on Christmas.

jhowton · 1 January 2008, 01:02 AM

Hi Honey...

Lol-x · 1 January 2008, 03:58 AM

Welcome, and yes I love the blue lume on that watch, very cool. Congrats on the new watch, with the updated bracelet too.

Robb · 1 January 2008, 04:00 AM

That blue lume is awesome!! Congrats

Prince · 1 January 2008, 04:01 AM

It's interesting that the markers are blue, but the lume on the hands is still green...

Very nice OP!!!

JJ Irani · 1 January 2008, 04:06 AM

Welcome to TRF, Jamie.

You did mention SS/WG in the opening line of your post. If you are referring to the bezel, then that's a "domed" one and is actually STEEL - not WG.

The WG ones are only FLUTED on these models.

Hmm, I think you are right JJ, my mistake.

watchlady · 1 January 2008, 09:20 AM

Lovely watch and nice photos!

bran · 1 January 2008, 01:13 PM

That is a great watch!

GMTJOHNNY · 1 January 2008, 01:19 PM

Beautiful face on the watch! I searched the Rolex website and thought that this was so novel that it would be there. Do they update their website often? I see so many variants you would think every Rolex leaving their factory was a custom job.
Pimp my Rolex!
Awesome band with solid center links- sort of answers my earlier thread on soid links and the Oyster bracelet.
Good luck with it...especially in the dark!

It's this one, they just don't show it with the pink markers.

vukotab · 2 January 2008, 12:57 AM

Great Christmas present,Jamie!You have a wonderful wife,you know!

Lisa · 2 January 2008, 03:22 AM

Mrs. Howton - that's a great size dial. The 31mm midsize. If I ever get another Rolex, that will be the size for me. It's lovely; good for you!

CEG · 2 January 2008, 04:48 AM

Miss CEG is very jealous

nhowton · 2 January 2008, 05:39 AM

I have several friends that are also jealous; one even went so far as to OFFER to wear my watch for me if I should ever tire of it (FAT CHANCE). How gracious of her.

watchlady · 2 January 2008, 10:09 AM

Pink markers are great! I'm adding it to my list!

ChronoDate · 9 January 2008, 07:01 AM

Great watch! Please screw the crown down. It's making me nervous:)

SPACE-DWELLER · 9 January 2008, 11:30 AM

Welcome to TRF, Jamie!

Very stylish Perpetual you bought your wife!

I like that the bracelet is all matte finished. If only Rolex would have done that with the GMT IIc bracelet, if would be perfect.

Anyway, congrats, and the pic setting is very nice, too!
