Well though my wife does not share my excitement i figure some else here would at least understand. Last month on valintines day I bought her a new ring set that she has been wanting for the last couple years. ( made it seam spur of the moment but it wasn't) bought it right before dinner, where the restaurant just so happened to be next to our jeweler) . well this month she bought me a ( well i bought it she paid for it, even thought i am still going to be the one paying for it) A superocean abyss my second breitling. but again she does not understand my excitement even though she has been staring at her rings for a month now she thinks im crazy for spending a couple grand for something that only tells the time ( her words). now on a different note just wondering if i got an ok deal. the shop listed the watch for 3090, and dropped the price to 2400 ( if posting the prices is inapproriate tell me quick and ill remove it)

Her rings don't even do that!

Congrats on the pickup.
