Sharp watch!<br /> My dad bought a pricey watch with his first paycheck out of college in 1952 and wore it well into my adulthood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-for-bf-finally#post-1075966 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 00:23:05 +0000 Mo 1075966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancy, it's the only 'jewelry' he will ever wear. &nbsp;Glad you like it. &nbsp;Some men do rings or necklaces, etc. &nbsp;He has been naked without his old watch that got too scratched to wear some 5+ years ago. &nbsp;It's time. hee hee </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-for-bf-finally#post-1075953 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 00:10:00 +0000 Mochi 1075953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's sleek and beautiful, and I'm not even particularly into watches.

Congrats!</p> <p>Don't worry, the BF will love the watches to pieces for many years x a billion. My mom bought my dad a watch when they were my age (haha, can you imagine that) and he still wears it and tells people about how it is the BEST watch in the world and it was a gift from the most beautiful girl in the WORLD (he's in his 70's).&nbsp;</p> <p>How is 40 years of wearing for CPW?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-for-bf-finally#post-1075904 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:31:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 1075904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) Fun. Great watch, does it have a dark or a light face? </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-for-bf-finally#post-1075858 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 22:47:06 +0000 Mo 1075858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>I am so happy that FedEx finally delivered the watch today. &nbsp;My BF has been hunting down a good dress watch for a decade. &nbsp;No joke. &nbsp;Once in a while he will spy one on auction but invariably it's right before we are going to make a move or some other financially tumultuous time. &nbsp;He's looked at Breguet, A Lange &amp; Sons, Patek Phillipe, etc, etc, etc. <br />We stopped along our odyssey of a drive home from FL to CA last year in Vegas just to go to a Jaeger le Coultre&nbsp;watch store where he&nbsp;could try on in person. &nbsp;(speaking of the thread about trying on things you might never buy).<br />I keep telling him to just DO IT already. &nbsp;He's lost a decade dilly dallying and time is ticking Ha Ha Ha. &nbsp;It's almost a month's salary, which is reasonable in the big picture when you are talking about THE watch. &nbsp;Anyway, a Reverso is here waiting for him to get off work and put on his wrist. &nbsp;I CAN'T WAIT for him to come open the box and try it on!!!! &nbsp;So excited! &nbsp;(and not as concerned about my racking up maybe $500 on the credit card bill in comparison&nbsp;HA!) </p>
