The value of the gift
About a week ago I gave my girlfriend a belated Christmas present. The watch I built for her.
Unfortunately, I made a mistake with the size of the dial which was larger and didn't fit in the case so I had to reorder a new one, hence the delay. She is very tolerant and it pleased her despite that. She really have genuine, unadulterated joy from them. I'm also happy about it, but this morning when she came back from the night shift, an interesting debate took place. Her colleague at work was impressed by the watch and offered her €500 at first and later a little more. That he would like to buy them from her. At first I thought that she makes fun of me and didn't believed it but as she continued to talk about it she convinced me of truth. Of course, she didn't sell them, but she was excited about the proposition. When she told me that, I responded that she should have sold them and I would have built her exactly the same one. She would be around €300 in profit but she doesn't even want to hear about it, I'm also happy that she values them so much, but I have mixed feelings. What do you think? She should have sold them or not? I understand that it's a gift, but the gift was delayed anyway, so perhaps she could wait another month before I order the parts and build the same watch again, so I really don't know what to think about it. Well, at least I told her to tell that guy to order the watch directly from me if he is really interested but I don't give a lot of hope into it because I think that it was more of a irrational offer instead of well thought decision
