    My girlfriend just obtained her MD PhD, and received this as a congratulations gift from her father. I have talked about this watch in another post but now it's in my apartment and I even get to wear it (when she's not home and doesn't know about it like now). The dial was replaced (by Universal Genève) in the 60s after a ski accident and I believe that the top pusher is not original. It's still a beautiful watch!

    Put that watch back right now! :eek: If she catches you wearing it, you're probably toast and will have blown any future chance of wearing it. :confused:

    Marriage could make it worse- just think of what her dad will give her on her wedding day... or first child... this is getting worse as I think of all the milestones. Then again, marriage could get you into his will. Hmmmm:cautious:

    True, which means I could get closer to his Gold Tri-Compax but maybe that would be my wedding gift if I marry his daughter.

    Would be hilarious if he became (or was) a OF member.

    It's an original way of asking for his daughters hand! No?

    Yes, but re-word posts to state how much you admire his taste in watches. Then you may have a shot. I like the one I have seen so far... and the one you secretly wear is nice too, but you may need to come clean on that secret.

    EDIT:

    It is one thing to buy watches without telling your better half....but secretly wearing the others watch, I think this is wear we would all draw the line.

    Anyone know how I can change my avatar name? I believe I could easily be identified.
