Come full circle
The first nice watch I ever got was a gift from my wife. My fiancé at the time, she gifted me an Air-King shortly after we got engaged. I wore it religiously for about seven years. During that time I got the watch bug and started buying/selling others. In a state of madness I thought it was a good idea to flip the AK for a DJii. It didn't take long to regret that decision. (Not to mention the evil glares I get anytime I wore the DJ, which led me to eventually flip that one also) I just recently came across a brand new Oyster Perpetual 114200 which except for no longer having Air-King on the dial is the exact same watch I sold a few years ago. I surprised my wife with it as a gift to her. I'm hoping she will proudly wear it knowing it's a gift we have both given and received (and maybe let me put it back on the wrist here and there).

You flipped a watch with sentimental value and you only got evil glares from her? You got off easy...

It was for sure not the best decision I've ever made. But at least I have the watch back!

The fact that your wife let you live after selling her gift to you is proof that she deserves the new watch!! Congrats to her and you!!
