Incoming for wife...

Bought my wife a stickered black dial 36 126234. She has really taken an interest in watches over the past year, and is truly my best friend. She had natural childbirth last month and has been a rockstar through it all. She was so great when I got my new sub, and had been dropping hints about wanting her own. I went a little out of what I wanted to spend and got her the exact watch she wanted. I must say, the 36 looks great on her. The black sunburst dial explodes in direct sunlight. I thought I’d have buyers remorse. After seeing her face, it may be the best money I’ve ever spent. Even our daughter cant stop talking about it. Now we have 2 more addicts to the club!

Congratulations to both of you on the newborn! Also congrats to the wife! Is this considered a push gift?

I appreciate the kind words everyone. I will get the wrist shot posted as soon as I can get her still long enough to take one. I caught her on her phone last night looking for a new watch winder. Haha. I told her that she won't need it because she hasn't hardly taken it off.

Haha. Yeah the stickers are gone. Bring on the scratches. She likes to wear bracelets and such on the same arm with her watches. I'm trying to subtly break that habit, because it makes me cringe. But at the same time, it's her watch. She can do with it as she pleases.
