Well today I was just suppose to be helping my wife’s friend negotiate on a watch for her husband’s 50th birthday. This guy is a one watch guy and she wants him to have something special. Well...as we were in the midst of discussions I mentioned that I saw what was a grail watch for me in the window and one thing led to another and we both left after a deal we were both very happy with.
So what did I get?
Nice box
What another box!
Hmm...German loveliness
That dial is a lovely blue
It’s backside is pretty good too!
Still more surprises
Tool for the deployant clasp as it is secured to the strap by a little screw
And a little bag!
Oh and the watch my friend brought for her husband was a new model Omega Aqua Terra in blue. Very lovely in real life with a nice sunburst effect on the dial
Plus I still have 2 Seiko Monsters winging their way to me as well. The wife is not going to be pleased!

What a beautiful watch....
My sincere congratulations to you!
Great shopping....and lovely backside, if you don't mind me saying.
What a beauty. Congrats.
That's stunning.
You're going to be in a lot of trouble though!

Superb choice - both of you! I do like that - a lot. Martyn
Very attractive; I am growing to like GO. About time their owners, Swatch, really got behind them. So much potential.
They get accused of copying ALS, but as both come from the same Saxon design traditions, in the same small town, that's rather unfair. And being offered in steel, unlike ALS, the prices are more reasonable

Absolutely perfect. A blue Panoreserve is right up there in the top one or two of my list and has been for a while. Interesting strap choice - I've only ever seen them come on blue leather or a blue nubuck.
Did you see or try one on the bracelet? Doesn't seem like a popular choice but I'd like to try it on one.

What a beautiful watch! Many congratulations. Much prefer that to the other one too!
Some impulse buy!
Done in style;a lovely watch.
Well done.
I'm sure your wife will understand.
Very nice, cracking build quality and a bit of personality. What’s not to like.
That looks absolutely cracking!
Panoreserve is next on my list- just need to decide between blue and grey faces.....
Here is a much simpler GO. It uses their new 'type 36' movement, which will apparently be the basis for some new designs. Not as complicated as the lovely Panoreserve, but it has it's own charms....
Must admit, they do offer a nice selection of models, especially in the 'vintage' range. Shame Swatch don't get them in more stores. They just don't seem to bother with GO in the UK.

I like the little pouch. Should be perfect for storing the OP's knackers in after the wife's cut them off when she finds out another non pre-approved purchase has gone through.

Still got ‘em!
Phew but damn this is an expensive Valentine’s day!

Properly nice.
The Aqua Terra’s not too shabby either.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
As I get older, my eyesight is fading quite quickly.
The grande date function is superb for those of us who cannot read a regular dial without glasses.
A beautiful watch !
