I have a GMT 2c a TT Datejust, an Omega SMP and a Breitling Superocean how can I justify a new Sub-C to the wife?

TheCanadian · 22 November 2010, 10:21 AM

U can't. She'll probably be mad for a bit but she will get over it lol

Speed · 22 November 2010, 10:22 AM

Will she be able to tell the difference between the GMT2C and the Sub C?

Dont bother to justify.. you will never win :)

Z06 · 22 November 2010, 10:38 AM

Trade her in for a newer model?

esm · 22 November 2010, 10:38 AM

Depends on who wears the pants in your household?!?

Seriously, unless your wife is a WIS... You are probably going to have a difficult time.....

Not worth the headache my friend. Just save for the SubC.

Good Luck!

Aston · 22 November 2010, 10:50 AM

If you have to justify, it's because you think you're wrong.
Are you wrong?
No!

So no need to justify. Just buy it

Eric88 · 22 November 2010, 10:56 AM

They look very similar, so you could probably have both and rotate them without anyone noticing. I don't see a need to have more than one modern ceramic Rolex myself.

seand442 · 22 November 2010, 12:36 PM

Tis better to beg forgiveness, then ask permission.

manandjoe · 22 November 2010, 12:58 PM

She will never tell, 95% of the people out their will not take the time to analyze the difference. Only forum members are concerned. That raises the other question is it worth another 7k to switch off with?

I have had many watches over the years, Blue TT sub at marriage and a Breitling chronomat when my son was born 11 years ago (daily wearer). Last november I was at my AD and saw the new SS GMT IIc, I did a a little creative math and got rid of the Breitling for the gmt. I have been wearing the new rollie for a year without even a question from the wife.

See this is exactly why I need to find a woman like Lydia from that this thread to marry.

They do exist, just need to track one down!

tulsaokusa · 23 November 2010, 12:01 PM

Tell her that everytime you look at the SubC... you think of her.

Make sure to provide a list of very personal reasons why!

panxiaoyan · 23 November 2010, 12:15 PM

trust me , women never understand us , if u buy the watch without her permission , u r asking for trouble , and she will think that u r not respecting her as your women at all. talk to her bout your idea, your hobby and let her know life is only once and gone . that way maybe she will let u get one :D . IS ALL BOUT LOVE . all the best
