What was the man doing?

W: May I help you．sir?
M: Yes．I’m looking for a nice gift for my mother．It’s her birthday tomorrow．
W: Do you have anything special in mind?
M: No．not really．
W: Perhaps she would like a necklace．We have many choices here．
M: No, thanks. My mom doesn’t like jewels．
W: Well．then．Maybe a watch would be nice．
M: Yes，that’s it．She does need a new watch with big, clear numbers．She has complained a lot about the small numbers on her watch．
W: This gold one is pretty, and I’m sure it will be easy for her to read the time．
M: Don’t you think it’s a bit too fancy for old ladies?
W: No, it actually sells very well and the old ladies like it very much．
M: Maybe you are right．I’ll take it．
W: I’m sure your mother will love it．
M: I hope so．
