Sometimes it's the little things

My brother in law... well one of them on MrsSteveB's side was down to today and once again I noticed he wasn't wearing a watch. His wife bought him a watch a couple of years back for Christmas... Turns out it was a Tachmeister on an integrated strap that had given up the ghost. So tonight I handed him this.



He thought it was just so he would know when dinner was. He tried to give it back after dinner, but I said no it's yours now. I told him that I wasn't sure what was worth more the strap or watch, but that it was vintage Swiss and Auto. You would have thought I had given him a Rolex. Talk about chuffed. Maybe I will get him a Sewor diver for Christmas and he will put me in his will

its the thought that counts Steve, he knows you didnt have to, the act of spontaneous gifting [?] is always worth more than the gift

It is nice to be nice . Maybe this was your way of passing on your good fortune from getting the Seiko you have wanted

Tell the truth it went back in the box because you couldn't find the right bracelet for it so spat your dummy out
