A Gift From My Sister

Guys,

My sister, a recent college grad, started working for me just a few short months ago. While I was away a few weeks ago, I asked her to retrieve a few files from my computer, and forward them to me. While on my computer she noticed I had the Seiko Orange Monster up on the browser with a few different review tabs open as well. She took it upon herself to order me one on the bracelet, and also ordered the rubber strap! I thought it was pretty cool, at her age, that she took the time to get this for me. Last night I took the bracelet off and put it on the rubber strap...I'll work this into my rotation..loving it so far!

Thanks Mike! I don't think you can beat the value of this watch in the sub $1,000 price point.

Thanks Phong! This will cost me in the long run I am sure of that...I'm waiting to see what's up on her browser the next time I'm on her computer

That's a very nice gift and surely the fact that she did that research proves that she's a great person. Congratulations.

Wow, what a great gift.

I'm going to show this thread to my sister and see if she takes the hint.
I'm leaving a picture of a Lange 1815 Rattrapante perpetual calander as a screen saver. Let's see if it works for me.

Great watch and very nice sister The Monster is a fun watch to have. I usually switch mine up with the Seiko rubber strap and different Nato's.

I'm afraid if I left that up my sister would ask for a raise

Chris,

Thanks!

I'm sure there are moments when I'm less than desirable in my sisters eyes too
