Pretty sure most everyone on this forum would have picked the shiny new toy



I'd have gone to Cosmotology School if my parents had included a car in the deal. Yeah, she's a fantastic young gal. She deserves someting pretty.

Can't go wrong with the happy diamonds Sharkie! Not at all glaringly blingy either imho. Just perfect!

hahaha, I can see it now, Sharkman the punctual beautician.

I know at 22 a new car would have been more than enough to sway my better judgment, but sounds like she is in this for the long con. Good for her.

PS I would take the watch

Exactly - I can drool on a Patek in a State run facility or drool on a Timex in a nice joint after water aerobics. Not even a close call!

Although the Patek's WR might not be enough for all the water aerobics you have in store

Awesome Shark, love your Past, present & future idea. Watch is going to last a lifetime I'm sure. Nice christmas present indeed :santa: . If I had a Dad that cool, wow! She is a lucky girl!

My Dad didn't even buy me a wedding present and his income is nearly 5 times mine! Can you adopt me along with all the other guys on here in line?

I'm sorry but adoption is out of the question. But I am starting a cult in the high California desert. All comers are welcome, but you must eschew material possessions. I will "safeguard" your watches. We will all be wearing matching Nikes and running suits. It will fun - trust me. :twisted:

I really like it, not a huge fan of the three diamonds at the bottom though. I am assuming she lives in a safer part of Manhattan? Being 22, I have noticed that a lot of women around my age, maybe a little older too, are really into the white Chanel J12.



Morningside Heights - upper west side. The diamonds float and spin when the watch moves. From normal distance it doesn't look too obvious.

Funny, I was looking at the Chanel white watches when the saleperson told me Chanel doesn't discount - period! I said, "How the hell does their watch division stay in business??" A tall blonde behind the counter spun around, glared at me, and looked away. The Chanel rep!! Ooopss. :oops:


Morningside Heights is nice; I live in midtown so at least she doesn't get all the tourists. I am assuming she goes to Columbia? She definitely made the right choice going to an Ivy League school, I chose going to a big college over Princeton and although I had a great time I certainly do regret it.
