Each time I've purchased a new-to-me Rolex (four times since October, 2009 plus my first 19 years ago) my spouse has been supportive. My last purchase, a white-dial Daytona, didn't receive any resistance because I had just had back surgery, and I played the sympathy card. However, the other day out on the boat, I showed her a really slick ad in Alert Diver magazine for the DSSD. I wasn't saying I wanted one, just that I thought the ad was very enticing and well done.

Mrs. Chitwood looked at me and asked, "How many of those watches do you need? You're starting to get weird." I guess I'll have to find and undergo some elective surgery in order to even have a chance at Number Six.

We at TRF don't think you're weird.

Puffy · 3 September 2010, 02:43 AM

Or a new Mrs, Joey?

I understand your "weirdness". Yesterday I told my GF I couldn't wait to put one of my Rolies back on after wearing one of the Omegas for TWO days!!

She just looked at me and shook her head

I'm guessing a new celebration ring from Tiffany's might correct her impression of me being weird.

I like your thinking Joey

always good to budget in negotiation collateral in situations like these

if you don't mind me asking, does your wife work? or do you bring home the bacon?

I've "negotiated" my way out of situations in the past with the Tiffany's catalog. My spouse is a massage therapist at the local community center. She's very popular and is booked far into November right now. Friends and acquaintances always tell me how lucky I am to be able to get a massage anytime I want one, but in truth, I've never had a massage, nor do I ever anticipating wanting one. It's just not me.

If you're giving seven watches away, I'll take your 18K YG GMT IIc!

My wife is standing behind me reading your post and, unfortunately for me, agrees with your wife. And, all I have are two Rolexes.

My SO doesnt ask how many anymore because she knows I'll mention her shoes and handbags. I've just learned that if I am coming home with another watch, I better have a new handbag with me as well...works for me...

Tell her you made the money you can buy what you want.

Six is definitely too many, but a thousand is not enough.

Just curious what month/year issue of Alert Diver magazine this slick ad was published in?

Need to pick up this issue and check it out!

Best of luck to you again on another possible acquisition here also!

Just tell her how much you love and treasure her!

This works for me - well, most of the time anyway.

Hee hee.

The ad is on the inside cover of the most recent issue on thick, glossy paper. It features the DSSD and underwater photographer David Doubilet. It looked so good that it could make anyone consider the Deep Sea.
