I got my OP 116000



<----------

I actually picked it out right after Thanksgiving and have been wearing it since, but it was a Christmas present from my wife.

Other than that, I got a lot of guitar equipment and accessories.

Visitors to my winter paradise from back in the USA brought me the stomach flu.
Thanks but no thanks.
And they left without a "You are welcome".

My wife got a Mid size DJ, SS with fluted WG bezel and SS Oyster band with PCLs as an every-day-watch..

Grey dial with bars ( I wanted MOP for her, but the examples they had were PINK! And that´s definitely not my wife´s style! )

( she already has a Lady Oyster, without date, YG President barcelet with white dial with Romans )

Lots of clothes including a cashmere sweater, loads of mechanic's tools.

I think there's a method to the madness. As I was opening one of the sets of Gear Wrenches, Nancy was mumbling something about "get out to the garage and make some money......"

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I got a nice larger watch box to accommodate my current collection.

My young daughter bought it so despite the fact it was only £30 it's already worth more than the gold Daytona to me.

Christmas went well this year, it was a lot of fun to get together with the family for Christmas. The gifts weren't too bad, either.

A small Faberge Egg (elephant)
A super special David Oscarson "Henrik Wigstrom" fountain pen in red
http://davidoscarson.com/p-wigstrom.htm
Some Blu-Ray DVD's

And among other things I gave out plane tickets for a family vacation

I hope everyone else had a great day.

Remington 870 Synthetic 12 Gauge shotgun with 20" barrel, 8 shot model. It's kinda half home defense, half tactical.

A brand new Sub Date, another watch winder... and I found this forum :)

I have a modest stable with, in addition to the new Sub Date, a TT Datejust and a Brietling Super Ocean Chrono

The best gift an old grandpa could get. These three beauties sitting on my lap while I read "The Night Before Christmas". Priceless

Yes, no earthly gift can replace this! It is, indeed, priceless!

I got a bottle of Acqua di Parma cologne, the cookbook 'A Propos Bistro', a book about the seventies, a special Rolex edition of a Dutch watch magazine and 3 bottles of wine

Boyd, beautiful little girls. Although I only have a daughter (who looks to be little older than your grandkids (5 years old), and a son who looks to be a little younger (almost 3)), I understand about the kids/grandkids. They're the best gift of all.

Re Christmas, I got a sweet Casio G-shock which is solar powered and updates via the atomic clock signal. I know, kinda cheesy, but I have wanted a true beater that would never die (solar), and never have to be set (atomic clock).

I'm looking at a white dial Exp II and a GMT II, both of which the AD is at greater than 20% off. Now it's time to see who'll give me the best deal.

Deap Sea,

Contact TempoKing. I bet he can beat the price of your AD on either watch. Plus no tax.

ps I love my white dial Exp II - its my daily wearer.
