Watch For A Special Man

My husband will turn 45 in 2 years time. Enough time for me to save money for a special gift for him. He loves watches and he collects all styles and brands but only the mid-range priced ones as we cannot afford the luxury brands.

I casually asked him one time if he ever gets to buy a watch that he really likes from his own money, what would it be. Well, his response is a no brainer - Rolex. Isn't that the brand most people want? I smiled and joked that I should be doing double time with my work and blogs then if I need to buy him that expensive watch.

There are other luxurious and high quality brands in the market that can be considered good options if my budget doesn't meet the price of a Rolex. There is the sporty Tag Heuer, Tissot, Bulova, the bright and bold selections of Movado, the high-tech Breitling, the fancy Cartier and Omega.

I remember my dad's Oyster Perpetual Datejust Rolex while I grew up. He guarded it because it was really expensive and it still is. So, I guess, the special man of my life also deserves his own Rolex at some point. I want it to be a big surprise.

Girls Talk - Accessories

This is the right opportunity for me to say that "my husband is so lucky to have me as a wife." And why did I say that without a taint of modesty? (wink...wink) Well, it is because I am not a big jewelry person. I don't mind nor am bothered not being presented with expensive jewelries or watches or any other accessories known to women. I prefer the simple beaded-kind of necklaces which I wear to work and casual occasions. My husband even insists of buying me stuff but I just shrug it off. Isn't he so lucky?!? hihihihihii...

Well, since it's Accessories theme for our GT's topic, I am posting my collection of inexpensive beaded necklaces I got from family and friends. Most of them were bought in Manila but some were given by my friends elsewhere around the globe. There's really not one particular fave of mine. All of them are worn regularly depending on my mood and what type of cloting I am wearing that time.

Lastly, I am not a big fan of watches too. Although there is one watch that I wear everyday because it is very special. It's my hubby's 12th wedding anniversary gift to me. It is actually a "his and her's" watch so he also has the same kind but a bigger one.
