My wife downgraded me

My wifes sister and husband own a local jewelry shop and a guy sold this to my sister in law, im assuming because he needed the money. Since my wifes sister knows I like watches she offered this to my wife for $1450.00.

No, im not complaining, I really like the watch. This is my 1st Tudor and feels really good on my wrist. I have been looking at these watches and dropping hints for the past 6-8 months and I guess she was listening Its not scratch free, but what can you expect for the price!

My wife graduates Beauty school in June and her graduation gift from me is going to be a steel/platinum Yachtmaster

Not sure what the downgrade is? And with a wife like that with those kind of connections, you are a lucky guy!

The blue with red and the bracelet look top-notch.

One of the coolest Tudors ever made. Even when you "trade up" you should keep this one.
