Best,

Turns out the newest watch in the CaliforniaJed household is indeed a Rolex, though this one belongs to Mrs. CaliforniaJed. I am admittedly envious! Without further adieu, 118205 makes its appearance. I had to make her take it off for the photograph -- on...  

Not sure, nicolas.

There's another lady in California on PuristSPro who wears a rose gold Day Date as well! Might even be on an Oyster bracelet. Great watch! And congrats!

Brings back fond memories...

I remember about five years ago, we had a luncheon in Los Angeles, and Mrs. CaliforniaJed was wearing that watch! But I wonder if she likes your Journe... I've known many women to be attracted to Journe's watches.
