So, as I'm sure many here do, I was browsing TRF while enjoying my Sunday morning coffee. I came across a lovely piece in the classifieds, and as I do, showed my better half.

Fully expecting something to the effect of 'oh that's pretty' followed by a return to her book; she caught me by surprise by saying 'I love it, OK!'

'What do you mean, OK?'

'I mean, OK. I want it'

'Really?'

'Yes, it's stunning. And if it doesn't work for me, you can add it to your watch box'

Now, I may be a bit surprised here, but I'm not stupid! Lol.

'Merry Christmas, Hun!'

Teaser pic. She told me I wasn't allowed to open the box. Will post the rest when she gets home from work and opens it 😉

I'm just as excited as if it were mine

Not sure why the photos are posting sideways from my phone. I'll try and spin them from a computer later.

She was a bit worried about the size (39.5), but it's light on the strap and fits her well. Bad cell pic doesn't do this watch justice. It's beautiful with the linen dial and blue second hand. The strap is very soft and it wears super comfortably. I'll definitely be borrowing this one!

The wrist shot

The best part... The date of purchase/warranty is from our anniversary this year. My first nice watch came from her on our anniversary two years ago. I'm pretty sure this is her first big leap down this slippery slope we call a hobby. Haha

Thanks guys.

Apparently I missed my window to edit the post/rotate the pictures. If I can pry it off her wrist I'll take some more photos. She's loving it!
