Well I would say your friendship means more to him then the watch. But what a nice way to ice the cake

Joe,

Your generosity and kindness knows no bounds. I was the very recent recipient of that magnanimous gesture you and your wonderful wife so openly display.

You left me dumb-struck at the time.....and I now have the same feeling once more. I can just imagine how your friend would feel when he receives that watch.

It's good people like you that this world could do with a few more of, buddy!!

Best - JJ

My wife gave the watch to our friend today and since we all work in the same place I was able to watch. After he opened the box and stared at the watch for five minutes with his mouth hanging wide open; I did the correct thing and left. Boy did he look happy. Five hours later he is most likely still there and by now his tounge is on the floor..

The look on his face must have been priceless!! For the Rolex, of course, there's MasterCard!!!
