Never again

So its Saturday morning and of course getting close to Christmas... All my nagging has finally paid off and my wife FINALLY gives me the green light to head to our AD today and pick out my Christmas gift... Well she knows exactly what I want so we are almost done and then the UNTHINKABLE happens... She asks so what am I getting for Christmas and begans looking in the case







So you get the picture. NEVER, NEVER and I mean NEVER bring your wife to the AD with you because this is what happens. Against my better judgment we left with the ceramic LV for me and this new 36mm ladies with the diamond bezel... A little too Louis Vuitton for me but she loves it. You know what they say "A happy wife makes for a happy life" and I have the pictures to prove it. Happy Holiday's Jennifer, I love you

And of course a couple of wrist shots...

That's seems out of line. How is it even relevant or any of your business?

Adam: Congrats on the pair!

What a great Christmas for both of you, Adam! Expensive as hell but definitely worth it IMO. Do you wear the SubC LV with all different outfits? I'm thinking of trading my SD for that watch but am weary of the green/green's versatility...

Anyways, looks like you and your wife have excellent taste is watches. Merry Christmas!

I only got it yesterday as for the versatility it is def. green and it shows. However the dial looks black in different lighting. I am used to the green on my LV so it doesnt bother me but I am not certain if I would have it as an only watch...the verdict is stil out.
