What a birthday! I remember you telling me that this was the one you always wanted. Your wife hit it out of the park with that surprise!

One man's watch is another man's grail. Love the penicillin joke and your wife's reaction. Enjoy your acquisition.

Huge Congrats, the black Sub is my most repeated incoming, have had it 3 times.
 Currently have the Hulk, but love the black. It is more versatile

The quintessential watch - congrats. It can't be beat. Also nice to see your wife's quick hands are a match for your quick tongue. I reccomend sliding to the right and ducking when speaking.
Great wife; great birthday. |

Congrats on the grail piece! I recently acquired a Submariner myself and it's a piece I didn't think I'd ever have so it was my grail as well.
Let the watch addiction begin! |
