So, we arrived home from the shooting range last night and my wife gave me a small package.

Good things come in small packages......

Hmmm, not sure what this is. It seems too small for a watch, or is it?

Well, it's sort of a watch!

It's the watch movement cuff links! Beauty!

I'm quite pleased with these - fitted with two old Bulova 5BA shaped movements set in sterling silver mounts. Quite a nice WIS accessory I think!

Are the movements functional? A great gift, to be sure!

Unfortunately not - just decorative.

Nice, I've been considering getting a pair of those myself.

BTW, nice to have a wife who, while she may not 'get it', she at least supports it.

Uncle-AJ · 9 May 2006, 10:32 PM

That was a very nice gesture Al.

Cool! Those are a nice change from the typical cuff links.

That is cool. Your wife pays attention to your hobbies ( obsession)

Yes, I have to say I feel very lucky in that regard......she is very supportive of the things I do, and me of her interests.
