New Piece!

Wife and I celebrated 10 years in November before Thanksgiving in the mountains of NC. She gifted me a fantastic new watch.

Apparently, Aluminum is the “10yr Gift”, so here is my new Aluminum Hamilton watch. The lightness is refreshing and oh so comfortable. Solid build quality and has been a joy to wear. I switched up the original strap to a bit more comfy orange canvas two piece, but as you can barely see in the picture I wasted no time getting the watch wet by dunking it the next day when we went fly fishing.

She researched and picked it all on her own (this a huge step) and kept me in the dark, I prayed for a watch between us😉, she delivered. She isn’t a watch nerd, she has Rolex, Cartier, and Tiffany watches, all that have been gifts, but can most often be found in her Apple Watch. I’m so proud of our 10yrs and that she was able to surprise me and get something even I didn’t know about, that I totally dig too.

Thanks for letting me ramble, cheers!

The best gifts are ones you totally wanted (even if you didn't know you wanted it), didn't tell the other one about and they magically made it happen. 🎇🎆🎉🎊🥂

Congratulations on the 10 years (mine was in May) and especially on the training of the wife! 😉🤣

Congrats as well!

I didn’t even know the watch existed and it has all the attributes I love. Internal rotating bezel,

Arabic numerals, and a date. For me, about perfect.

Congratulations on your anniversary (we just had our 25th) and on the beautiful and thoughtful gift. I’ve never seen that watch before. It’s a gem!

They had been on my radar, but I never told her that, just that I don’t like traditional dive watches a ton. This is a countdown style and works well. I find that the tension has to be right, too loose or sloppy and it is not functional or too tight and hard to set, you’ll never use it.

Impressive all around, including the catch! Is that a brown trout?

Don’t rush it. Think how many more cool watches she’ll score you in the next 15 years 😉.

Yep, 23”/24” Brown, we were fortunate to get all three, Brown, Rainbow, and Brook!

Congrats on the anniversary!🎉

And that watch! I want it for the internal countdown bezel AND the fact that it’s gorgeous! 😍

Oh, and the fish… Now you’re just showing off. 😉

Let's see...thoughtful wife of 10 years, lovely gift, fishing...looks like you're blessed to me! 😉
