My birthday today and look what wifey presented me this morning, she did the usual, card, aftershave, socks, new football and then she pulled out an unfeasibly large wrapped box and low & behold this little beauty was inside.

Guys I was really shocked, there had been no hint what so ever, she’d even phoned my AD last week and asked her to take it out of the display until she could collect.

I was in my AD’s on Friday speaking to the Manageress and she never uttered a word. We haven’t got a chance against the sisterhood have we?lol

Needless to say I’m in shock, I grabbed these pics with my compact and I’ll try and take some better pics when I get time in a day or so.

You have a caring wife!

Tombstone · 2 April 2007, 07:40 PM

Wow you have an awesome wife! beautiful watch too. It is good thing that my wife would never do this, because I would die of shock and she would get the insurance money and a new husband to share it with. Could you see it your dead and some bloke gets a new Rolex (and your old ones too) with your death money. Oh yea by the way if you received birthday love from your wife after she gave you the watch, you must kill yourself. You just hit the high point of your life, it goes down hill from here.

Boy-o-boy!! What a wife you've got, Chris....you lucky son-of-a-gun!!!

That is one beautiful watch. Wear it in good health!!

Cheers - JJ

leopardprey · 2 April 2007, 10:01 PM

The only thing I can think of better than having a wife like your Chris, would be to be named as Mike's benificiary!

AdamB · 3 April 2007, 12:35 AM

Between Spencer and his new SS Daytona and you and that beautiful, white-face Ex-II, the prospect of marriage keeps sounding better and better. Now I'll just need to copy and paste this, and then forward to the girlfirend via e-mail!

Chris B · 3 April 2007, 06:02 AM

Richard that truly is a nightmare scenario.

I reckon I'd be spinning in my grave, probably a 7.5 on the Richter scale,lol

Prince · 3 April 2007, 06:04 AM

Beautiful Explorer. Love the white dial!
