I can tell you of a proud moment - i changed the bracelet off my 1133B Monaco and replaced it with a blue leatther strap. I was admiring the effect when my girlfriend noticed i was focusing on my watch. Her comment was 'What a lovely new watch'. Now this is a pivotal moment in a relationship, where your partner takes an interest in your hoby. As i stated earlier i felt very proud of her, so much so i didn't have the heart to tell her it was the same watch she'd seen the past year or so. ;-)
