Off the (speedmaster) piste, and the wife grabbed it.

    One early morning last week the wife and I were enjoying our 6am coffee and while she was in meditation I was leafing through AJTT, and she awoke from a trance to lean across and took an interest in "those 70's looking things"

    So this was waiting on our porch when we got back this evening from California with the children.

    It was a Golden Squirrel moment, with a crappy single photo and the words NOS in the description.

    There were no other bidders.....

    Straight out for pizza and she wore it:

    It's nice when things come together, and indeed no one nicks the FedEx box for three whole days.

    Nice, but, enjoying, 6am and AJTT are mutually exclusive terms.

    I like every part of this post, except the 6am bit, and the fact that you are making the rest of the husbands on this forum look really bad.

    Well done :thumbsup:

    You're lucky, I wish I could get my wife to wear one of my early electronics, she is currently torn between my 18k zenith Daytona with diamond dial and double Red Sea dweller.
    Damn those tropic rubber straps, means she can wear anything!

    Lovely, I really rate the electroquartz, hugely undervalued constellation IMHO
