7 years later...
In 2016 when I made Partner at my Firm, to thank my rock star wife for the years of self-sacrifice, I bought her a Datejust 279381.

Seven years later I got my dream watch. I love it!

Really classy to recognize your wife's sacrifice and skin in the game before looking inward. That's a great display of teamwork, attunement, and love.

Good for you man and congrats on a gorgeous Sub, I love the no date version.

Good eye; I lived in Canada for 4 years in the early 2000 when I picked up my Internet nickname. it has stuck with me since then because it sounds cool.

Thank you all for your kind comments.

What this guy said. Most put themselves first, sounds like your wife has an equally as good partner with you as her husband.

Congratulations

If you're married and don't put your wife first, you shouldn't be married.

Nice watch

Amazing pick up. I’m re-reading The Firm right now and imaging you
