Why in the F***
    #25844230 -

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary today.  She bought me a pocket watch from a local jeweler.  They didn’t engrave it like she asked.  So she comes home busts out my dremel tool and does this to it.

WTF!!! This poor watch.  I don’t understand why.  It was a nice watch.  Why jank it up



Take it back to be engraved later, such a waste

Seriously, great gesture either way.

If it really bothers you get it redone by a pro later, probably wouldn't be hard to touch it up and make it look smoother. Then it would still have the specialness of being hand done by your wife while looking nicer.

Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky

You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by

I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me

I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

If that was found later in life, it'd have more meaning done the way it is now.  Perhaps that is some of why it hurts.

As far as metal detecting goes, that's my opinion.

I think it's hot she did that.  I'd bang her brains out.

I don't think OP appreciates the fact that probably only 0.01% of people would actually go out of there way to personally engrave something for someone.

I mean her intention was related to it being heart felt and meaningful.  I mean she busted out power tools and didn’t let any of it stop her from getting the job done.  Also having used a mechanical hand engraver in my trade- she could have fucked up worse.  Also the backs of pocket watches are easily replaced if you are that fussed over it.   

Maybe she wasn’t being the brightest bulb in the box but it sounds like that girl has heart.  If you forget the optics of the materialistic show quality- it’s quite sweet.

Although it's very sweet, and heartwarming, and I'd never tell her otherwise...but I'd be internally sour about that too, man. She really fucked that watch up. I'm sure she's just a doll though, and very sweet. :smile:

You lucky som bitch, you really going to take that for granted, and bitch about some watch!?
If I could kill to get a woman like that, I'd do it without remorse a hundred times over.
This post caused such palpable feelings of anger for me that I couldn't think straight for a second.

Get off the goddamn computer and go show your woman some love, motherfucker. How dare you come clog my pub feed with your perceived inadequacies of such a gesture. Go throw the watch in a ditch man.

I'm not seriously angry, but I kind of am... :mad2:  :facepalm:

Whats there to "wtf" about? Seriously, what a time we live in, where I would ever have to read that.
"Wah, my pretty watch, its not good enough anymore, it doesn't look right, wah!"
That woman used her own mortal hands to scratch her marks in some useless fucking watch for him, and he's going to slink away to the computer to whine to us about some shortcomings he found in the gesture.

Lmao I’d keep it how it is. Almost like hand made cards. Always better when someone takes the time to do something personal
