What's the saying? Happy wife....happy life?

Well, I think I'm doing ok making her happy. This little birthday present is nice too.

Believe it or not, I didn't influence her (that much) when picking this watch. She strongly considered the 35mm SS/Pt YM, a white Expy II, a white Roman DJ, and a white Blancpain. She tried on a 51 about a year and a half ago and said she never stopped thinking about that dial. She loved it, but it was too heavy. So, 49'er...her we come. Got her a nice OEM strap that suits her.

Anyway, the quick and dirty pics.











I'm so lucky to have her and love her very very much!

Great looking watch. I have just bought my wife a PAM 000 for her 30th. She initially wanted a 114 with the white face but after borrowing my old 112 she fell in live with the simple base dial and the painted numerals. Just trying to get a gold calf strap for her rather than the black one that comes with it.

Very nice present for the wife! Been trying to get my wife to wear a watch for a while, she is slowly warming up to the idea though.
