My Wife's new addition

After spending most of January looking for a new addition to our collection she picked a Wonderful 31 Oyster perpetual with a lovely Silver Dial.

Our local AD which we have known for sometime in Canterbury treated us to a bottle of Champagne with a few added extras..

After the wife spent a short time admiring our new purchase while I popped over to have a look at the wolf winders..

I pop back to the desk to take a few photos and totally unaware there's something not quite right..

The wife is looking the other way trying so hard not to give the game away..trying hard not to laugh..

Still totally unaware of what my wife and staff had done... Rotten lot well I really need glasses...

Very nice, that’s the exact watch that my wife picked out last time we were at the AD, now I just have to buy it! Which size did she get, my wife likes the smallest one.
Congratulations to her!

Looks like she switched it for the pearl master. Or something with a diamond bezel.

Nice!! Wife likes that one but also took a liking to the Nomos Club Campus last time we were in the AD. Just need to figure out a bracelet option.
