(Crossposting from another forum where I posted this earlier.)
Some of you might know I'm leaving Qatar this month, after 40% of my life here. And twenty years ago I hired a lab technician and she's been a brick in those two decades, and one of the people I'll miss from here.
And she's just bought me a leaving present. That's it - it's official, I'm old enough to get retirement presents.
A couple of things.
a) it's absolutely not the kind of watch I'd buy for myself, and
b) I love it. It's just great. It's a perfect size for me, and I love the copper touches on the indices and hands. It's wonderful. :dogcited:
The strap will wear in, I know, and then it'll be very comfortable. I'm thrilled. I told my wife, and she said, "That's brave! I've not plucked up the courage to buy you a watch!"
Someone shoot me if I decide to sell it, because my heart will already be dead.
