    Hi all,

    Wishing you all a merry Christmas. Just sharing the fabulous gift my other half gave me today. Apparently I have been a very good boy ;)


    Hope you all received what you wanted.

    Best regards

    I think so. The present I gave her made her cry (joy not sadness). We have been together since we were 17 (now 44) and I had kept old photos, ticket stubs, boarding cards etc from places we had been together over the last 20 odd years. So I brought them all together in a massive photo album showing a chronology of our life together so far including the additions of our kids and the dog. She was amazed and overjoyed. ;)

    Oh and she got a ring from tiffanys but it was the album that she loved the most :)

    Great gift, very thoughtful and I'm not surprised she loved it!

    I received a new strap for my Speedy. It was purchased on the bracelet, been on the OEM NATO for 7 months and is now on said lovely leather (Hirsch Terra Tuscan). Absolutely love it! Not quite a brand new watch, but it may as well be!

    Not a watch Christmas for us, unfortunately! Had to replace the furnace in our garage, and bail our son out of his line of credit at his bank! I keep saying I won't do tha any more, but neither he nor we seem to learn! However, there is one consolation from earlier in the year. And here on December 25, I'm wearing it!

    No watch here, but very good although so that I can get a little deeper in Omega's history. image.jpg

    It's time to go to school.

    Let the lesson(s) commence.

    I was lucky to receive a Moonwatch Only book from the wife unit (MacGyverette) this Christmas. :thumbsup:

    Correct...I'm a lucky guy! :thumbsup:

    You must be a trickmeister because the Moonwatch Only book only goes up to page 494. ;)

    Also, I'm attempting to adhere to the Toy Story (Woody) quotation "You must take good care of your toys..." by utilizing my old military helmet bag to protect my new Moonwatch Only book from today's precip...works great lasts longtime! :thumbsup:
