<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 24675, member: 88&quot;]My DH always said that when he retired he wanted &quot;the company&quot; to buy him a Rolex watch. Well since he is a self-employed consulting engineer &quot;the company&quot; was his consulting firm. I decided 11 years ago that it was absolutely foolish for him to wait till he was ready to retire to have this watch. So for our 30th wedding anniversary I gave him a Rolex like this one which is what he wanted. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Men-Rolex-Stainless-Steel-Perpetual-Date-Watch-Blue-Dial-Oyster-Bracelet-15200-/141443638123?pt=Wristwatches&amp;hash=item20eeb2a36b#ht_6791wt_1583" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Men-Rolex-Stainless-Steel-Perpetual-Date-Watch-Blue-Dial-Oyster-Bracelet-15200-/141443638123?pt=Wristwatches&amp;hash=item20eeb2a36b#ht_6791wt_1583" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Men-Rolex-Stainless-Steel-Perpetual-Date-Watch-Blue-Dial-Oyster-Bracelet-15200-/141443638123?pt=Wristwatches&amp;hash=item20eeb2a36b#ht_6791wt_1583</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I gave it to him then because I decided anyone who could put up with me for 30 years deserved a Rolex.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Funny thing is when he graduated from college back in 1974 we had been married about 1 year &amp; I decided to buy him a watch for a present.

Thing is the Omega is probably more &quot;valuable&quot; than the Rolex. Now he has to decide which son gets which watch eventually.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
