Incoming!! 25th Anniversary.

Surprised my bride today with a lovely DJ 31 today to kick off our anniversary trip to Hawaii. Decided to present it to her at the jeweler today on the way to the airport. Actually bought the timepiece many months ago but brought it to Mayors at the Florida Mall where I purchased it from Wann. Swung buy under the guise of getting a quick cleaning on my DJ II. Wann and the manager, Kevin, really did it up properly and had a great presentation for my bride, who would NEVER purchase this timepiece for herself. She has spent the last 25 years supporting me in every way and raising our 2 beautiful daughters. What a great memory we made today at the beginning of our trip. Not nearly as romantic as a sunset presentation on a Hawaiian beach, but hey, it’s the right thing to do to get it sized so she can enjoy it on this trip of a lifetime.

The attached picture is “a moment in time”. A reflection of my love and appreciation for all she is to me, a fabulous wife and mother. My Datejust II was a present from her last year at this same time. God continues to be good to me! Hope you folks enjoyed a snapshot of our love story! Regular folks making incredible memories!

That is an amazing gesture. And I am sure the appreciation she deserves. She must be absolutely thrilled. Now the long flight will be more pleasurable, as she can glance at her wrist the whole time.

Kudos to you, and hope you both have a Happy Anniversary and great holiday.

Cheers,
Carl

Congrats and enjoy the trip. I have a similar plan in mind for my lady. One who would never spend that much in a watch, but she knows I certainly would obviously.
