Any watches as Christmas gifts?

So, anyone know they are receiving a watch for Christmas, getting one for themselves, someone else?

I have a few Zodiacs for my wife, 30mm, she has VERY small wrists...

My next one is Christmas, Birthday, Valentine's, Anniversary, St. Patrick's Day....LOL!

My wife told me to flock off when I asked for a Black Monster. Literally, that's what she said. We don't hold back.

So I ordered myself one of these!!

LOL

Cool Orient...and that PHONE rocks!

You can tell you are an IT geek!

the polluce was an early gift from my wife

Is that an open heart dial?

Not a phone, HA!
It is an EtherScope Series II. Totally helps us catch those network criminals.

When "Lin" or "Farhad" bring their laptops in from OutterSlobovia, we can nail them. Stupid farts think they can do what ever the hell they want! Not on my watch.

The watch does have an open heart dial. I'll take some pics later and post them in the new watch section. The watch is totally metro!

when it comes to watches almost any day could be XMAS for me!! My wife and kids know better than to buy me a watch,,but do get alot of watch books from them!!

Exactly! Who in their right mind would by a hobbyist something for their hobby unless they knew specifically what they want. They'd probably screw it up.

I have some relatives who like fish stuff. They have a big salt water tank, lots of fish paraphernalia, knick knacks, and related crap. I would NEVER buy them something fish related. They know what they like and go get it for themselves. Why give them something that may not fall into the right category or otherwise float their boat? Same with watches.

Don't buy me a watch unless I tell you which one!

Yes, the name of that model is "Metro". I know because I won with that name in their naming contest.

Picked up:

• Swiss Legend with diamonds and MOP for my dad
  
• Lupah with interchangeable straps for my mother-in-law (she likes my wife's set)
  
• Swiss Legend Aquamatic for a buddy
  
• Hamilton QNE for myself
  

Happy holidays everyone!

I thought about you when I got it. I'll hopefully be able to get a review together for it soon.

So far I like it!

Hopefully getting a couple Zodiacs for Christmas !
Not 100% sure about which ones !..As for giving
watches as gifts..I'd really like to, but unfortunately
not everyone loves watches as much as I do ! Oh
well..I'll just have to wait and see. I like trying to get
others into the hobby though !
