Great spouses = great birthdays!
My sister and I have birthdays just 3 days apart. We both have had our eyes on new Rolexes for the past year or so. Her on a 31mm TT Datejust and me on a GMTIIC. My wife conspired with my brother-in-law a week ago much to both our surprise. Sis opened her gift first and as soon as I saw the pale green box I new she had scored and I was very happy for her.
I had no expectation for a watch and the gift sitting in front of me did not resemble a Rolex box. As I opened it I saw a very nice wooden cigar box and was pleased as I greatly enjoy receiving cigars as a gift. Imagine my surprise when I opened the box to inspect the contents and saw my own pale green box. This was over the top! Pics are not great, but you get the idea. |
