Holiday Secret Santa Anti- Gift Guide 2014 Watch Gifting
Looking for a last-minute gift guide to help you choose a watch for a friend or loved one? Then keep on walkin', 'cause this ain't that. There are watches and "gifts" in this article, but this isn't a "gift guide" where we just show you some watch stars from this year, and tell you what we think you should buy. We feel that's not actually entirely realistic and rarely helpful in real life. Instead, we decided it might be fun to do a "Fantasy" Secret Santa this year, with all our team members, and do a real-life, real-watches (meaning relatively accessible), real people (with fantasy money), watch "gifting" exchange, and see what happens. Our hope is to provide anecdotal insight into the thought process, some wisdom about watches (and gifting), and perhaps some entertainment.We've all been there.

Incoming!!!! (5960/1A)
It just arrived and I like it even more than I did in the store.To me, it's the perfect combination with all of the attributes I was looking for: it's sporty, casual, dressy, and has several complications that I don't currently have (chrono, annual calendar, power reserve, etc). Just as important, it's one of the most modern looking Pateks. Thanks again to the enablers and support!
