You’re a better man than I ... I would’ve cheated and wore that beauty

Congratulations on the wedding

I wasn't supposed to wear the watch until the wedding so I had to wait. We got married at the Four Seasons Hualalai (which is why you see sand in the picture) and even though it was a much smaller guest list than we originally planned, it was perfect.

Also, my wife surprised me and got me a Wolf watch winder for it though I won't be using it too much cause it won't be coming off my wrist. I have a year and a half of wrist time to catch up on!

See here for original thread when I got the watch:

Thanks again for your help 42itus!

Amazing! I’m happy for you and your beautiful bride that you were able to finally make it official!
I’m sure it was beautiful beyond words!

Holy cow I remember that thread and I can’t believe you’ve waited this entire time to wear it!!!

When I got my first Rolex it was supposed to be a Christmas gift from my wife but the AD came through ahead of schedule in October and those 2 months killed me! I can’t believe you held out for 18!

Congrats on all fronts!

Thank you everyone for the congratulatory messages!

It's true, I had to have a lot of willpower and patience to wait to wear the watch. However, it was also by necessity. On the day we were supposed to originally be married in May 2020, I put the watch on as I was going to wear it while we drove to get takeout from one of our favorite restaurants. I figured we were supposed to have been married that day so I should get to wear the watch. Well my fiancee did not agree with that line of thinking and she said that it was supposed to be a wedding present and that if I wore it prior to that, it wouldn't be as special when I donned it for the wedding. So we got into an argument about it and I just decided to just put it away and wait. We discussed it a few times after that and she said if I wanted to wear it to go ahead and wear it but I know she would have been disappointed if I did so I just decided to not wear it until the actual day of the wedding.

Though I did take a few sneak peeks at it throughout the months and even put it on my wrist briefly while I was at home just to get a feel for it. So willpower was needed but also I didn't want to argue about it...learning how to be a husband early and knowing which battles to fight.
