"It's more than a watch in the collection"
Years ago, I used to walk past the store window and stare at this Rolex Datejust - blue dial, diamond markers, looked great. I’d always go in and ask to see it, imagining i could afford it, the staff humoring me knowing I couldn’t.
Back then, it felt out of reach, but something for me to aim for. Today, it’s more than a watch in the collection - it’s a reminder of the work, the setbacks, the late nights, and the quiet wins. 16 year old me was very happy when I was able to buy it.
