So I te a call yesterday from my local watch maker and they informed me I won a raffle, and to come down and pick up the watch. When I get there, the lady tells me "congrats, you won!" She brings out a Victorinox box, then proceeds to tell me that the watch is a womens piece. Figures, first thing I ever win and it's not even for me!
Oh well, my fiancé will be happy!

It's a bit small for my wrist, but for some of those vintage guys it's right up their alley!

Thanks guys. No I can't complain about winning, but when I asked her if she liked it, she replied "well it's not as nice as one of yours..."
I didn't really know what to say after that. I think she's hinting at something here $$
