While out inline skating today, I accidentally lost my watch when the strap broke.  I must be a fool, as I was wearing my Rolex watch out while exercising.  Definitely not a smart idea.

But, I had to replace it before my wife found out.  You see, she gave it to me as my anniversary present on our fifth wedding anniversary, and she would be furious if I didn’t come home with it.

With my wallet feeling a little too light for the shopping I was about to do, I entered a watch store.  Just five short minutes into my shopping, I realized I didn’t have enough cash to buy the real thing, so I asked the sales clerk if they sold replica watches.

I was directed to the watch replicas they had in the store and I was able to find a perfect Rolex replica watch that was a very close match to the one I lost.  I bought it, put it on and came home.

So far, she hasn’t noticed that anything is different - this will give me time to figure out when would be the best time to tell her about what happened.
