watch for Father's Day

[marsupial]

Danimal wants a new watch for Father's Day. He told me not to spend too much so I have been looking at Overstock.com to get a good deal. I am thinking about this watch. What do you think?

This is the one I got a while back before we traded it in for something else.

Did you think I was serious about that watch? For $130K we could pay off our house and still have enough money left over for a trip to Hawaii. Danimal told me to spend $35 or less. He is so cheap. I was thinking of limiting it to $75.

Get him a Timex Ironman watch. Mine never leaves my body. I got mine for forty bucks. The dress watches are for other occasions.

I was merely suggesting you could find something modest such as my suggestion.

I would love to live in a world where $5000 is "modest"...

BTW...I do like the Ironman watches, but I HATE my Indiglo Ironman--it's one of those where the digits light up orange instead of the backlight. It was cool at first, but it has a velcro band that you can't replace separately. Now the velcro band comes undone all the time.

You are a doctor, so 5000 dollar watches are a dime a dozen. I know, I've never seen so many Rolexes and Patek Philipe's in my life until I started hanging around physicians.

Nothing says watch like a Swatch.

This is the begging of my quest to bring back the 80s.

I would definitely need to get him a coordinating Swatch guard too. Do you remember those?

Oh yeah. The Swatch guard was a necessity.

I mourn whatever became of my 25+ Swatches.

Well, this is what I ended up buying. What do you think?
