·Hi all.
I am a soon to be wife and openly admit the fact I know nothing about watches. Maybe twice a year I wear mine from fossil, but it hasn’t had a working battery in 3 years.
BUT, my fiancé is a watch lover— or whatever you all call those with a refine taste for time pieces. He has a collection of watches but nothing over the $200-300 price point as he grew up in a working class family and has been in school for most of his adult life. He works hard for our family, and never spoils himself.
He has always dreamed and drooled over OMEGA watches, and like the loving partner I am— I always dismissed his long tangents and extended visits to the watch display of the jewelry store, explaining a watch like that was many many years down the road for our budget— while secretly logging all of his comments under a folder in my computer called “horses” so that one day soon I could surprise him with the perfect watch. Trust me, the title horses garners no interest from him.
Fast forward, I have finally purchased a Pre-owned Seamaster, in excellent condition, to give him the morning of our wedding. I know he would like it engraved because he talks highly of his Colleagues’ engraved watches from their spouses.
I am looking for advice for
1) what part of the watch to engrave
2) what “time” related message you think would be best. (Our photographer will be giving it to him right before the ceremony, I want a real tear jerker so he’s ready to bawl when he sees me)
Some thoughts I have: “Until the end of time, I love you” “I love you more every second”
I really appreciate the help and advice and hope to God he’s not a part of this forum. If he is, hi babe. Surprise.
