Gift for the wife

So my wife's bday is on Friday and I can't wait to give her this beautiful watch that I've had for over a year and a half! This is the longest I've ever waited to give her a gift. About 2 years ago she saw this watch and really wanted it, but somehow she never got it... so I hope that she will be ecstatic when she sees it.

Here are the pics of the actual watch. I'll try to take a photo of her collection this weekend.

Great present!

I'm sure she'll be thrilled.
I can't believe you were able to hold it for a year and a half without giving it to her....I don't think I could.

So, how did it go? Did she like it? Very cool watch - interesting design, with an El Primero movement.

Like Travisb said, you must have a lot of determination to keep that watch in a box for a year and a half! I bought my girlfriend a little swarovski key chain and I could barely make it trough the week!

This being said, that's a very nice gift! You are a very generous man!

amazing watch but most amazing story to go with it :)...you are a very nice husband and indeed a man with one hell of a resolve to hold out for that long

cant wait for the whole collection and to hear her reaction when you actually presented it to her finally :)
