WOW. What a watch. She is a very lucky girl. These are very important things in life. Now she can walk around a magnetic field without having to worry about her watch losing time

Just a slight correction...to my knowledge, there is no such thing as an M Serial 16660. The 16660 Sea Dweller was a transitional model that was commonly referred to as a "trip six" or a "triple six" and pre-dates the more modern 16600. If your wife's SD is an M Serial, then it is a 16600 Sea Dweller.

BTW...congrats to your daughter. Great watch.

Trust me, she is the greatest daughter in the world and very thankful in every way. I couldn't post the full video due to size, but she thanked both her mother and I over and over ... hugs, etc.

She's a terrific daughter. Really has her head on straight. I couldn't ask for anything more from her, never a problem, very respectful, kind to everyone and everything, and loves life!

Luckily, her wrist size is the same as her mother's (they share bracelets, etc.), so I just sized it to fit my wife ahead of time.

That must have been fun going shopping with your daughter! My wife gave me my Milgauss GV. The white looks great on her, were you able to get a wrist shot? Did you have it sized for her?
Actually, my daughter wanted a DJ with the pink flower dial and diamonds - she saw one at the AD and fell in love. I told her to forget it ... she'd have to work hard to get one on her own someday, just like I did.

Months went by after that exchange, and we dropped the subject ... until her birthday.

I went with the Milgauss because she loves to wear white & orange. Plus, it has some bling with the PCLs. Turned out to be ok by her reaction.

You are a very very wealthy man to have such a great family. Can see the love in your words and in the video.

I especially like the picture where she is posing with Cal Ripken Jr. in the red hat! Haha. Just kidding Mark, I know that is you, but do you get that a lot?
