Thank you ALL.
For your time and your valued opinions. like many suggested I am going to keep the watch.
My dad may have missed the mark colour-wise, but, in his eyes, he hit the target spot on and that's all that counts. his heart was in right place and I couldn't ask for more. As some suggested, having that connection and explaining the funkiness of the watch may be a conversation starter at some point. it may just grow on me. i really do appreciate the gift and as long as he knows it, that's
enough for me. the watch is officially out of the box and had its first outing today.
once again, thank you.
yes, the one in the photo. i don't mind an accent colour but having a rainbow on my wrist is out of my comfort zone 😬
yeah, I know. thats another aspect that makes it hard. he has spent a lot on something that won't get used.
I appreciate the gesture, I really do. Each of the five watches I have hold sentiment. And I enjoy wearing them, they are not locked away they each tell a story with the daily wear and battle scars. I like G-Shock and can appreciate this particular model is not cheap either. It’s because he has spent so much money I feel guilty not wearing it. It’s perfect in regards of type of gift, I feel It is special because it’s from my father and know he won’t be around forever. I want to be reminded of the good times, I want to glance down and think about what the watch means to me. It’s just I dislike the colour scheme so much that would never leave the box.
thank you for your reply.
the plot thickens though. he is about to leave the country in a week's time to retire abroad. we live at opposite ends of the UK too so I won't get to see him before he goes. I don't want to leave him with a problem just before he flies.
