Wowzers beautiful watch and story!!!!!
Thank you!. My wife and I agree, it was the perfect weekend.
I think that’s what I like best about watches, there’s usually a backstory that is so special and meaningful that it really overshadows the actual watch.
Wow! It's a fairy tale!
Congrats!

Yeah, I love hearing the stories myself, so I had to share this.
Now that’s one happy way to celebrate and it has a story to go with it. Congratulations!

Good for you, sounds like you accumulated a lot of good karma points. Enjoy the honeymoon with the watch and wife!
Congratulations on your anniversary! The SA really went above and beyond. I gotta ask... what's your purchase history with the AD? Asking because I live in Las Vegas.
Congrats on it all, wear it in good health!
