I had been thinking about a new watch for my 50th Birthday. I really didn't know what I wanted. I did know I wanted something different. I'm a sports watch guy, and wanted something meaningful and unique.
Before the New Year we were on a trip, and I stumbled my way around the boutiques. The one that caught my eye was the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. So much more detailed that my Rolex.
I told her that is awesome. We went out to eat, had a great time and came home. Today she surprised me with this. Not only is it the watch I fell for, but she got the one on steroids. It is the Blanpain Fifty Fathoms in 18K Rose gold.
I was speechless. I began to tear up. Not only did she remember, but she went all out to make my 50th Birthday something I will certainly never forget. She explained to me that the 50th anniversary is that of gold. Funny I always that that was just for weddings.
Anyway, I have tried to capture this watches stunning beauty. I hope it comes through. Cheers!

That's a lovely story and I'm not jealous at all......... 😕
Dude that’s amazing. You’re a lucky guy. Who’s credit card did she use? Yours or hers 😂😂🤷♂️🥂
Oh, and happy birthday 🥳 🍻
Happy for you. For me I think the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is by default a much better finished watch as compared to the Rolex Submariner.
By the way mind to give your wife a heads up that I'm turning 35 next month? I've been looking at A. Lange & Söhns these days. Thanks.
Mate you are one lucky male individual 😇
Absolutely incredible watch! Congrats on it! Glad to see your wife supports you.
Congrats!
Congratulations!! We probably all drone on and on about which watch we want next, we pretty much set our spouses up. 😂

Yep. But this time she made the decision to go Gold. I was shocked.
Wow. She's certainly a keeper. If there was ever any doubt.
That’s a thing of beauty - congrats!
I, too, have an incredible partner. Whilst perusing watches on a cruise last year my other half paid for the watch that now takes pride of place in my modest collection - Breitling SuperOcean Heritage II B01 chronograph.

Cherish it and the person who gave it you.

Wow just checked your profile - you’ve quite the collection 🙌👀
That’s an amazing gift. Congratulations.
I know that if a BPFF ever comes into our house, it’s going to be hers, not mine. It’s her grail.
Beautiful watch! Amazing present. Congratulations
Fantastic watch and story. She's a keeper......and the watch is too.😁
Awesome, congratulations.
