P.S.: Happy anniversary to you too Wes, my darling...

FeelingTheBlues · 24 September 2013, 11:34 AM

Here's the gift my girlfriend bought me, apparently the fifth anniversary is the wood one so she went with this...

This watch is made of wood and came in a box that was 90% made of recycled cardboard. WeWood sells those and for every watch sold they plant a tree, a good way to combine my love for watches with my interest for nature if you ask me, whether you really are into environment protection or not you must admit it's a good deal.

Now before you ask, the movement isn't made of wood, it's a quartz one...

Lisa · 24 September 2013, 12:02 PM

Now that's a cool watch, Carl! Has it been treated for water resistance?

dbelle7 · 24 September 2013, 12:49 PM

Cool, Carl! What a fun and thoughtful gift from your girlfriend.
Now, what did Lord Wes get you to commemorate your 2 years of bromance?

But it has become a slang derogatory term, but also in a jokey way if that makes sense. We even have a program here called cowboy traders. Uncovering shoddy/rippoff workman and companies.

I'm just happy to know that you can tell the difference.

I'll keep the American version.

vitalsignsrn · 24 September 2013, 02:39 PM

LOL Lisa, when you asked about water resistence thought of driftwood floating about..LOL
Carl, happy anniversary to you and your lady. :-) She obviously thought about this gift..Kudos to her! I am not so much a verbal I love you I love you kind of person but more so a show er that I love you kind of person and I think she was very thoughtful. :-)\\ If you decide on something blingy for her let me know. :-) I can find what you like.. LOL I sent a TRF member to a source in NYC when she went with her bf for a visit she ended up with a great price on her purchases. :-) Im a diamond girl much more than a watch girl. :-D LOL I should change my avatar to a diamond one..LOL

vitalsignsrn · 24 September 2013, 02:42 PM

vitalsignsrn · 24 September 2013, 02:45 PM

I just realized.. if any of you want info on the diamond peeps in NY, message me privately and let me know... they have a great reputation on the diamond boards and are regarded very highly.. :-) AKA great value for the money. :-) I make no money on the sales..just passing on a great opportunity to save a bit of moolah.. perhaps leaving a bit for a new watch purchase :-)

Thank you Dawna for the kind wishes! As for Wes, he didn't bring me anything yet...I bet he won't, he prefers to spend money on egg holders and pink undercrackers!

No, no - don't stop on our account. You guys are cracking us up!

Hubby fixed the leaky showerhead yesterday.

The Seiko skx diver series with the 7s26 movement is actually pretty reliable, some of them need to be regulated, but apart from that they are great workhorse movements.

That's good to know, Bas. If she's really serious about an automatic watch, I'll be able to give her some models to research.

No that's great thinking that is, a man's thinking. Put a stopcock in, in case things have to be taken apart again. The more stopcocks the better. Function over form.

It even has plumbers tape on, cracking job.

I knew you'd approve. I thought about posting it as its own thread because I thought it was so funny, but then realized that only the women would see the humor, and they're all right here in the coffeeshop.

vitalsignsrn · 25 September 2013, 02:36 AM

That showerhead is pretty funny. Your husband is a creative thinker.. ;-)

The Joker · 25 September 2013, 05:22 AM

Actually Lisa, I would of used a red handle stopcock to indicate hot water. But that's my only criticism.

Art 1 · 25 September 2013, 06:20 AM

Lisa, that's some good plumbing work. Your hubby did a good job with that.

Lisa · 25 September 2013, 08:14 AM

Hehe - Wes' new avatar....

Well, one thing's for sure, the shower head ain't leaking now. Not one drop.

Actually, the look is sort of growing on me. You can't take the redneck out of the Okie, you know.

FeelingTheBlues · 25 September 2013, 10:27 AM

That shower head does look pretty nice Lisa, very manly!

Just got two small bead bracelets today in the mail, one dark silver-ish and one black. The beads are tiny but that's what I wanted as I want to wear them with other bracelets without having them up to my shoulder...
