Same.

I would love to have a nice watch as an anniversary gift. Of course, I was given a Glock 19 on my 10-year ordination anniversary by the elders at one of my congregations. 🙂

This happened to me. I wrote Ali and told them I was expecting a non-branded one and they refunded my money. No need to return the watch.

Before I buy? Usually not. After I buy? Always. I like to show her my new watch.

I'm trying to drop hints for an upcoming anniversary :)

edit: If I were to buy a $1000+ watch, I would discuss it with her first. I always love to hear her laugh.

I thought it sounded cool for a watch forum.

I use my watch more for the date than the time. Perhaps a DATE-only watch? 🙂

I'm another vote for Tissot.
