Lost my one watch challenge thanks to Beloved :)

Dear fellow watchers! How can I express it even better than just showing it! Yes! I lost the One Watch Challenge, but let me tell you why …

This weeks Tuesday wont be forgotten by me never ever, as my beloved Better Half informed me that we are expecting a small watch collector! It was so freaking fantastic info, that I still can’t process this information ;) However I told to myself that we have to have a celebration and we went to a restaurant and jewellers store after for a small gift from myself to her. 
 

Two days after so on Thursday it was the Polish Father’s Day. As my Beloved knows very good I am some sort of a watch junkie and love collecting them. She was following me on Reddit where I asked “what is the ultimate Dads watch” as I wanted to also spoil myself buying something new and shiny. Happily as she did follow the post I got a fantastic surprise that day (and second this week ❤️) as she basically grabed me and took to our nearest shopping mall and 💎 store. 
 

Long story short, now I am an owner of a beautiful Seiko SRPD57 with black and gold accents on the dial and bezel. After wearing it for more than a half day what can I write about it? It is really bigger than my Hammy Khaki, but it is also really well build. And the combination of colours is astonishing! Prepare  for spam of photos, as I have to do another Watch Challenge! 💪💪💪

Congratulations on your expected Small Watch Collector!  The arrival will completely change your life, and after a little while you wouldn’t trade fatherhood for all the watches in the world.

Nice way to break the cleanse. Congrats! 

·

First off, congratulate on your impending fatherhood. It’s a great adventure, and I’m happy for you. Second, I don’t look at it like you lost the 1WC so much as I got a little closer to my inevitable win. 
 

Cheers.

Congrats on the, well I can't call it a larvae. People get mad when I say this in jest. 

Anyways, congrats on the future offspring!

Congrats!! what a great time after you find out this news and when the little one comes into the world - with all the upcoming life changes and all the anticipation and planning and excitement, it’s a joyous time! Congrats on the watch as well!

Time to shop for a birth year watch for your child.  I am partial to Flik Flak for their children's designs.

Congrats!! and what a great looking watch it is 👍🏼

Congrats and welcome to the club! We need some type of group for fathers of newborns. I have a 2.5 year old and a 3 month old and it has been a whirlwind.

If you want any advice, don't be afraid to reach out to the community. But chances are, because you are smart enough to be into watches, you've got a good head on your shoulders 😉.

Congrat's farther to be. There's no greater joy than being a Dad, no watch in this world is ever going to be as valuable as when you're little watch collector looks up at you and smiles for the first time. You're heart will melt and nothing else that's going on in this world will matter at that moment in time. Cherish it my friend 🙏

On the spiritual leveI, if you belong to a Church, they may already have a group like this, or will start one. On the civic level, one may exist already and could be on your town's website. Or you could start it yourself - I'm thinking lots of guys would be interested. With a 2.5 year old and a 3 month old you have a lot of skills and knowledge to pass on.

My two children are grown now, but I would pay Rolex prices to have just one day back with them when they were the ages of your two. I do remember how fast we learn. When the older one was born I remember how disgusted I was at the smell of the first diaper change. I thought I would pass out. About a week later you find yourself changing the diaper with one hand and eating a sandwich with the other.
