I think I turned my wife into a WIS!

First of all I want to thank everyone for their input on this vintage piece. Second, I took a wrist shot last night for her and then she sent me a pic this morning that just says it all................she has the Rolex bug.

Nice choice!

BTW, I feel sorry for any non-WIS that wants to marry me. I have more watches than most men I know!

I wish my wife had some kind of interest. I would love to see one on her wrist. She doesn't seem to care at all. None... Oh well...

It's over Joshua, you can't turn back and try to fix this, your wife became one of ours!

... Congratulations to her! That piece fits her very well!

A WIS is one who can tell you the start up date of most Swiss watch companies but cannot remember his anniversary or his kids birthdays.
Can tell you the name, address and phone number of all the high-end watch stores in his home town, but cannot remember the same info re. a relatives residence.
Remembers to wind all his watches, but forgets to take out the garbage on garbage pick-up day.
Can recall every watch purchase and what he was doing at that time but cannot remember the dinner party he and his significant other are invited to that weekend.

And the list goes on
