Gift for the guy for engagement?
Gift for the guy for engagement?
I need some opinion and sharing of personal experiences. Once you get a girl an engagement ring, is proper etiquette for her to get the guy a gift in return? Say, a watch? Or is that selfish to expect that? Help me out here guys!! I want a c11!!!

Re: Gift for the guy for engagement?
My Gal got me a watch when we got engaged, a few other guys on here have also experienced the same, it may become the norm in this world of equality ( a good angle to go with ).
You can't exactly view watches when u view the rings buying from CW so print off a screen shot of the C11 info from the site and leave it somewhere obvious. Good luck

I admit to being far to many years away from this type situation, so I am not up on proper etiquette.......but it sounds like a good and proper thing to do.

Worked the opposite way around for me.
I brought her a watch, and she brought me a Pen!!!
Probably to do with my inability to write in legible English.

Showing what a acring and thoughtful person you are...get the watch to "save her from wondering which one to get you"!
"Its better to let everyone think you are an idiot than to say something and remove all doubt"!

I think its only right you should have a new watch its certainly the proper etiquette today I know loads of men who have received watches in return for engagement rings after all a watch is a very masculine piece of jewellery and what better than a c11

I bought her a diamond necklace for her to wear on the wedding day. She bought me a watch. Sounds fair I'd say

Re: Gift for the guy for engagement?
My now wife bought me a Tag Aquaracer auto when we got engaged, and a mate of mine got an Omega Seamaster from his, so it does seem to be the trend at the moment. Didn't expect it, but can't say I was complaining!

...to demonstrate hitherto unseen powers of spending and to nag you to your grave.
Many congratulations and best wishes for the future.

Re: Gift for the guy for engagement?
When I got engaged 36 years ago it wasn't the tradition to do gifts for the guy. But my wife - now married to me for 35 years - bought me a pair of golf shoes. They finally went the way of all flesh when I gave up the game about 20 years ago. On our 30th anniversary I had her engagement ring made into an eternity ring - at her request. I must be due a real cracker of a watch for our 40th - five years of hints coming up.
