Default My wife is hell bent on getting me a watch

For Christmas my wife got me a Breightling Blackbird Chronomat. Through a weird series of events it did not get delivered and I convinced her to cancel the sale.


Well today is my birthday and she gave me this


Not bad I say I have such a good wife

Nice gifts. Did she buy them with her "own" money?

BeerCan.......Your wife has excellent taste.

The Tag Heuer Calibre 5 Day/Date Link is a fine timepiece. I have looked at that watch myself. I am a Tag aficionado. The one I wear is the Tag Heuer Aquaracer Chronograph.

Wear your new Tag in good health.

She has plenty of her own money. She does quite well in her field.

Thanks, I am going to like this watch. It has the simplicity I love in some watches, it has a great feel on the wrist and I love the see through back.

I have a Tag AutoChronometer (no winding, perpetual movement energized) that has the TAG logo in green and red. I recently took it in for service and the gentleman said nice antique watch. I questioned his remark (bought in 1998) and he said TAG stopped the red/green logo many years ago. Estimated value now @$2500 - downside was service will be $600.
