Watches

~~I am actively listening for the Fedex truck to knock on the door delivering~~ The Fedex truck arrived while I was typing this with my two-tone Frederique Constant Highlife Automatic Chronograph.

I found it months ago after I decided I finally wanted to invest (not literally) in a fancy luxury watch. My girlfriend and I have already decided to get married, we've just been waiting for the right time to get engaged, and I thought it would be nice for me to buy a nice watch for my wedding. I LOVED this FC as soon as I saw it, but I knew I couldn't have it because it cost more than my girlfriend's engagement ring and that didn't sit right with me.

It eventually sold out anyways, then I found a good deal that I passed up on and then it sold, and I ended up writing off getting this watch and looked into alternatives.

Well two weeks ago I finally made my proposal plans, I have the ring, the date (New Year's!), the location, and my friends on deck. I decided now would be an appropriate time to start shopping again. Just for funsies, I looked up the Frederique Constant again last week and found it on clearance for about a grand below what I got my gf's ring for! I waited for a week and then jumped on it this past Wednesday.

I'm gonna open the box once to make sure I didnt get scammed and to size the bracelet. After that, it's going in the closet until 1/1/24. Can't wait!!
