Well... it's finally done. After six months of searching, I finally found a 145.8.89 at a reasonable price. I was very patient and so was my girlfriend.

It's weird knowing she has my most valuable watch (I downsized some time ago to stretch my watch dollars further).

I will be envious, for sure. It's radiant and gorgeous.

Here are some pictures before she takes it from me.

A shot on my wrist:

 

Better hope your wife doesn't find out.

 

Need to see it on her wrist,
good excuse to buy a few more, now that you are shopping for 2!

 

This is joke of the month

 

What to do? Almost nothing. That's the price to pay for expecting support to our weird hobby. Curious that's happening to nice JLC around here. Beware......

There is no truer statement to a peaceful household. Windy wiggles her way into EVERY activity I have. Fishing? That means I'm not only catching dinner, but cooking it a way she'll like. Wine? Went on a road trip last week to grab a deal on some Lynch- Bages bordeaux and a few very good bottles of Huet Premiere Trie vouvray….. and she got me for 3 bottles of J.J. Prüm Spatlese riesling and 3 more bottles of a lesser name (truth be told I didn't look because it didn't matter). And let's not get into how many times a new vintage watch has been delivered only for Windy to see it and claim it. "Mine? Mine? Mine?"

 

It all goes to the center of the table

 

My solution is to get more deco style watches, which she has no interest in.

 

Even my Suveran was 'claimed' by my daughter.

beautiful watch! My wife just asked me to get a battery for a watch I got in a bundle (which included 3 swiss mechanical and one handwind timex for 80 cents per watch). She doesn't like the watches I wear.

 

My wife's wrist size and my wrist size are so far apart that there is no way she can wear my watches

 

Oh I have one that's better than that

 

When did Angelina divorce Brad and marry you?

 

Here's her wrist shot:

 

May 19th, 2012. And it was contingent on a change in hair color

 

And let's not stop at watches.

 

David, that is an awesome JLC. You've single handedly made me obsessed with the brand. "Thanks"
