FFS it is a £1600 watch that he doesnt want and knows his mother cant really afford it!

I think you are stuck between a rock and a hard place here Ali but i think i would go with taking it back and choosing a really nice new watch that you want and spending the rest on something she likes (if your mum is adamant about not taking the rest back).

I do think £1600 is to much to spend on a present without really knowing if the person really wants it!

I didn't even need to advertise it, I dropped it out in general conversation and next thing I know this guy was gnawing at my leg for it.
