    Today is my birthday, turning 50. For me nothing special, but Sabine, my wife, said some months ago that since 50 was special, it deserved a special gift. And she thought of a watch. Suddenly 50 was special. And what better choice to make than another anniversary piece. So I ordered this beauty at my dealer.

    I have it already some weeks in my bank safe, but couldn't wear it or show it here since I had to wait until today, so 50 at last, I can put this Portugieser on my wrist.
    50 and happy.
