Decided to surprise the wifey

She kept making comments when she would she other women wearing Daytona's - reminded me of how she would make comments of engagement rings before we got engaged. (she waited a few good years before I popped the quest)

Now I wanted to give her a reason to time how long it takes her to get ready....

I love the look of bigger watches on women. There's a sexiness to it.

I agree. I love the trend of women wearing men's watches. Not only does it look great, but if she wears it loose, you can steal it on days that she isn't using it!

It's like them wearing our shirts around the house. I'm with you

My wife however refuses to wear anything above 26mm!

My wife tried on my SD 16600 and it looked gigantic on her petite wrists. So I got her a 36mm DJ, she loves it.

made me smile when I read the title of this post "decided to surprise the wifey"... when the next post after this was "The BEAST has arrived!!!".....

thats just my warped sense of humour I guess.....
