My wife surprised me with this Blue Mako under the Christmas tree today:

And, because she ordered it from OrientwatchUSA.com and used a special holiday coupon code, she received a second watch free! This other one is quartz:

Not sure what I'm going to do with the quartz one yet...probably keep it around for a while.

What a lady! Congrats on the new watch. :-!

Sounds like a good woman, does she have a sister... Very nice watch, I think I am going to have to put that Mako on my future acquisition list.

I got a Gevril Gv2 from my Mrs Claus...

Very nice watch! Very nice second watch! And an even nicer wife!

Congrats on all 3!

BTW, there's a little piece of plastic hanging on for deal life on your bracelet.

 

[mjbernier]

Yeah, I caught that piece of plastic left over after I took the photo...it's long gone now.

Merry Christmas and congratulations. The Mako, of course, is beautiful...but so is the rectangular quartz, and it's always good to have a quartz watch or two around for when you need to just grab and go. Especially nice when the "grab and go" quartz is classy like your Christmas gift :-!:-!:-!:-!:-!:-!

Great watches so far, let's see all the other (watch related) Christmas presents!!:-!

I got this calendar from 'My Oris', on Christamas eve.....does that count?

A couple months ago on the Oris website there was a contest for 'My Oris' members, answer some Oris trivia questions and win a 2010 calendar...mine came UPS on Christmas Eve!! Very cool!

Nice presents. Nothing wrong with using a coupon for a freebee. My wife loves coupons, especially for Macy's. But, by no means would I let her pic out a watch for me. She'd come home with some crystal stones on the bezel thingy. No thanks. Your wife knows the watches you like. I can appreciate that.:-!

I also got a Blue Mako for Christmas...by accident. My mom ordered a White Multi-Eye for me, but the company sent the wrong watch. I have to say that the Mako is a beautiful watch, but too large for my little wrist. Hopefully, I will hear from Orient on Monday and will get the correct watch sent quickly.

:-! Was thinking of picking this up for my little brother- he got his eagle this year (brings the tally to three in the immediate family)- how is the feel of the watch? Would you recommend? Happy holidays!

 

[TNT13]

Well, I've been pimping this around so many of you have probably already seen this, but this was my Christmas present to myself. I love it!

 

[mikee]

SOme cool presents there guys :-!

Hey mate, got me one of those as well. Only wished it was a watch with calandar :-d

Absolutely, it's a very nice piece especially for the price |> It's a nice strap too but the watch has a definite 'pilot' feel, I think it's going to look awesome on a vintage pilot strap.

Congratulations to your little brother and all the Eagles in your family, that's terrific:-!

My older son is a Life Scout, just a couple more badges...and he is working on his Eagle project now. My younger son crossed over this past summer and just made Tenderfoot, now on to Second Class!
