Thread: Most special 50th birthday watch ever

  1. #1

    Most special 50th birthday watch ever

    So,
    My wife organised a secret surprise party for me.
    Almost 2 months of planning, messaging in secret wap groups, organising sleepovers for the far away friends, setting up the food and drinks... almost like a wedding.

    This came almost a month after my birthday, masked as a dinner invitation over at my buddy's usual place.

    Thank god I am fairly fit, I almost had a heart attack!
    I am still overwhelmed by this surprise amd all my friends who took part
    With the pandemic and lousy weather I was really getting depressed and often remarked to my wife how nice it would be to party with our friends and the kids like we used to do long time ago...

    So anyway, my wife, with the aid of one wis friend went through my watches, measuring them and photographing them, so that they could find the ultimate watch I'd like...

    All of this would not have mattered anyway, they could have bought a whatever and I would have loved it and cherished it forever because it would have been such an emotional momento.

    Thanks to my wis buddy I got the best swiss watch money can buy, for not a lot of money can buy. And in my favourite colour combo!
    I am still shaking man!

    Enjoy the pics and happy birthday to me!

    Nice, i thought it was going to be a " my wife gifted me a 20K Rolex " thread. Lovely practical watch you can wear without fear of marking it.
