Sorry this is lengthy..

As im patiently waiting for any sight of a Daytona, and knowing it will be a long time, I decided to look around.
I talked to sensui about Omegas and Mr. Ruud had to endure some Ms. SG56 indecisiveness. Thank you both for your help, support, and patience.

I also thought it was time for the awesomest husband to get a watch, and he agreed to go and look at some. Hm, he liked a tag, an omega, and an IWC, but when we got home he said he really liked his Tag and didn't want a new watch. Can you believe it?

I realized there was no discussing it and decided, oh well, more for me

16710 was always on the "one day" list, so I started looking at some.
So it happens my local AD had one. I went to try it on on Saturday and it was a love at first sight. While still a bit pricey, I decided to sleep over it a few nights and went to the AD today to buy a bracelet (jewelry) and not to buy the coke for now.
As we were ordering the bracelets, my sales lady said, you know what we JUST got? A Tudor GMT. Would you like to see it?
Yes of course!!

I loved it, gorgeous watch, but I also loved the coke. As she knew about husband's unwillingness to own a very fine timepiece, we both agreed I should try to talk him into it, and if not, oh well, I return it, or keep it lol
It is the very first one they got!

So I bought it and went home and the bestest husband loved it!! And agreed to keep it! It was our anniversary yesterday, after all.

Well with that in place, I drove back to complete the paperwork and, oh well, somehow that sexy coke found its way to me after all, hahahaha

I love both of those watches.
You already know what a fine piece a 2004 coke is, but the Tudor GMT is truly an amazing watch.

I hope he let's me wear it, if he ever decides to wear any of my watches. He refused until now

Some pics of both. I'll take better ones, but I know Y'all wanna see the Tudor!

I am so happy that he loves the watch. I am more excited for him than I am for myself.

And I'll start putting money aside for the Speedmaster! Loved that watch!

That looks really great on his wrist. If they ever bring the GMT out in the same size as the BB '58, I am in trouble.

Congrats on the double incoming! You two have great taste

Haha, he's got a good torso so why not show it off. When I used to work out I had the six pack and the V thing going on down there and would have been happy to flaunt it but that was over 10 years ago. Now, its transforming into a dad's bod with the pecs morphing into man-boobs and a layer of fat covering the abs, so it looks alot better covered up. Haha.

Double congrats

With the money you saved from not picking up the Daytona, you can splurge and buy a shirt
