Surprise!
My fiancee has left for a long weekend so I got home tonight to an empty house. Or so I thought. Got in the door and there is was. That big black box! A card on top said happy engagement. My first CW, a C7SWT. I can not describe the feeling of excitement or anticipation about opening it. Now this may sound a bit tragic, but I first washed a couple of bits up and then made a cuppa, in the atempt of dragging out how cool this was. Having just opened it, I am blow away. It is STUNNING. Having never owned anything of this quality, I'm just taken aback by it. So I take it off the pad, and look at the back. The detail of the gilt disc backplate is awesome. Looking closer, I have just noticed it has been engraved with the date of our engagement last year! Sorry if I'm gushing at bit..... amazing...

Re: Surprise!
Congratulations; you have a special memory provided by your special lady...opening a box, though, is always a bit like that, the anticipation...UB..
Let us hope all politicians are masochists, that they may truly enjoy our fondest wishes...

Re: Surprise!
My hearty congratulations on the engagement. A relationship that begins with a watch is...... timely.
