Wedding gift.... to myself!
Hello! Long time lurker, thank you in advance for hopefully warm welcomes!

Long story short, I've been with my fiancee for 10 years (engaged for the past one), and for a wedding gift, she bought me a very nice watch.

The catch: I can't wear it until the wedding.

I decided that I couldn't bear to be bare-wristed for the next three months, so with her blessing, I picked this up two days ago.

Without further ado:

That is a great watch. I almost called it a great placeholder , but that would not be doing it justice.
