Thanks for the kind words everyone. I absolutely love it. In fact, the more I look at it, the more I love it.

She’s definitely a keeper! The effort it took to find one was extraordinary. She called or walked into virtually every AD within driving distance till she finally found one willing to sell her a sub within a reasonable amount of time. Many were rude or just blew her off because she wasn’t an “existing customer.”

I was planning on getting her a Rolex, but she beat me to it! She likes the 40mm but I haven’t decided which one.

Very nice! Mine got me my explorer and a vintage Art Deco Tudor from the 40s for my wedding!

Our wives should be friends so they can constantly compete for best husband gifts, I feel like we could really benefit from that!

That's why she is your future wife!

They do say, that the guy buys the engagement ring and the girl buys the man an engagement watch. Which I think is a great idea...
