Surprise new arrival!
This came as a complete shock, but my wife bought me my "maybe one day" watch. My birthday isn't for a few weeks, but like the perfect wife she is, she's been listening to my ramblings for years and took notes. Literally, she took notes. She had a bunch of model numbers that I had talked about when I was helping a friend shop, and she was actually paying attention when I would ramble over dinner about the watch a guy two tables over was wearing.
So, without further ado, my 30th birthday present:   My buddy's IWC that I've been babysitting is going back to him tonight!  Here's a lowlight shot, sipping on some coffee and browsing TRF before I treat the wife to dinner and a movie.

Thanks guys. I loved wearing the Top Gun, as it was my first proper chrono and I liked timing just about anything. The action on the pushers on the Daytona are a dream.

Lucky man. Big congrats! Gifted that watch by the wife must have felt 1000 times better than buying on your own.
