My new Hulk has been stolen, I need help!
I can't believe it! An older gentleman asked if he could try on my less than a month old Hulk, my absolute pride and joy! Before I knew it he was off in it, glancing at it in the light, twisting it around to catch it at all angles with this giant smile on his face and then to add insult to injury he stole my beautiful little baby daughter aswell! I guess that's what dads / grandads are for....
On the spot the Hulk was his, broke my heart but after all he's done for me in life and the huge smile on his face I knew that watch was now his. Being in the UK I know I won't be getting another one anytime soon, but the stipulation is I get it back one day when he no longer needs it, hopefully that'll be a long while yet but I'll get my Hulk back one day. |

Haha, a little different story to the one I anticipated reading the title!
Hope your dad enjoys Hulk for many years to come! |

Nice.
I wouldn't call it stolen. Sounds more like voluntarily surrendered.

Your pops knows how much you enjoy "the hunt". Now go forth and find another Rolex to keep your wrist warm until your Hulk returns!

Thanks for all the kind comments. I'm really happy for him, he's been wearing this ropey old Tag for the last decade and when I saw his face with it on his wrist I knew that made me happier than owning it myself ever could. I will say don't feel too sorry for me though as I just ordered a Blancpain Fiffty Fathoms so I think I'll make it through the anguish! Now the long wait for the AD to call.

It's funny how things change, as now if your Dad really wants something and it is within your gift then you really can't refuse, just like years ago when his favourite little princess said, Daddy...
