I got married a few weeks back and toyed with numerous things for my other half as a wedding gift. Umming and arring between weekend breaks away, jewellery or.... a watch!

I've been raving on about getting a watch for ages (Omega Planet Ocean) however always put it off due to directing finances elsewhere (most notably a wedding), my thoughts turn to the watch, I'm sure she'll like it plus if I were to buy her a watch, I'll have no excuse not to buy myself one after the wedding.

At this point of the story I spoke with Dominic H who was nothing but superb and produced a fantastic price for an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra, after a week or so wait the watch arrived earlier this year.

Fast forward a few months and the wedding day arrived. My other half was due to open her present and I was hoping she would like it. Opening my present from her I looked at the oh so familiar size box of something I had wrapped but a few weeks earlier and couldn't believe it when I opened up an Omega box with a Planet Ocean inside. To say I was/am chuffed is an understatement!

Quick pic below from the day after the wedding of said pieces...



Massive thanks to Dominic H of Hackett watches for the brilliant service, as mentioned by many others he really does offer a fantastic service.

Now, with my 30th coming up next year I just need to persuade the wife it's a good idea to get a secondary watch to alternate with the Planet Ocean!

A second "proper" watch, I've had a watch on my wrist near enough all my life, but only really fashion watches for the last 15 years or so and Casio's before that!

I've had a fascination with nice timepieces for a good few years now but couldn't justify the expenditure with other things that cropped up, Uni/Cars/Mortgage/Engagement/Wedding etc.

Love yours, and Thanks idea planted.....
Glad to help, it looks a very similar style to what your after. You need to take a look in a shop though as the mother of pearl face (I'm sure that's what it is) looks a lot better in person.

They do it in black also...
