Just lost my 2nd Rolex
Thought I'd share the news...1st Rolex I lost was my BLNR to my first Daughter. And now I just lost my 114060 to the new addition. Welcoming our 2nd daughter to the family... It's been around the world with me, doing anything and everything, and just finished its most important task to date of timing contractions.

Bracelet tool?
Mwuahahaha
