When she gets pissed for whatever reasons, she'll sometime say this..

"if I knew you like Rolex watches, I wouldn't have bought the tag hueur(how do u spell that thing?) for you for that much money!(2.5k on that aquaracer blue--leonardo series whatever)

I was thinking.." I didn't ask you. You should have asked me what I like first." But of course, I didn't tell her that. I just don't like that Tag.

The other watch she bought me was a Seiko quartz..love that watch, but that was before i discovered you know what brand.

rant over. Still love her.

You guys are lucky!

My wife has rants over my cars and motorcycles, I get in such crap when I buy a new one...... And then modify it. Or fail to sell the preceding one.......

i got it from her almost everytime as i rotate my watch..shut her up when i got her an Omega Aqua Terra Quatz..which i rant at her ..

RC2 · 22 May 2012, 08:17 PM

Mine finally let's me buy only if I flip. Better than the earlier motto "no new watches". So if I buy vintage - does that count? Rich

zama · 22 May 2012, 08:37 PM

love is knowing you will never get the gift right and agreeing ahead of time to be advised on what to get. In the spirit of equity, my wife has agreed if I get a good bonus this year, and am looking OK so far, for me a second hand Aquanaut and Breguet for her a Birkin bag. Yes mine will be a little more expensive but it is my work bonus. It will also close out my watches at 8 and then I am DONE......... i think. We don't live in a fancy house, we don't spend big elsewhere so this is our respective vice, along with shoes and clothes. We dont have kids and both work 12 hours a day so this is our fun. In both cases they are always assets that can be sold if required down the track

Oh, you poor deluded man.... You know there is no escape.... There will always be another!!

HERITAGE82 · 22 May 2012, 08:41 PM

I just get the eye roll when a new one catches her eye... I guess its better than a rant...

zama · 22 May 2012, 08:46 PM

Alex, my wife is understanding enough and knows me well enough to suggest that I am deluding myself..... to quote her I would be insulted if you don't get that black face, two tone gold Daytona you have shown me before......... ah now that is love.......... but it will come with an offsetting Louis Vuitton hand bag undoubtedly.

zama · 22 May 2012, 08:51 PM

Oh yeh, and she loves the Black Bay

HL65 · 22 May 2012, 09:02 PM

I am one lucky guy as my wife could care less about my watches and cars.

I kind of fall into the same category.

My wife just doesn't understand why I spend much time online looking at watches and cars. She'll say "I don't know why your looking at that again! Doesn't it look the same as last time? If you want it, just get it!!"

Then she'll smile, give me a wink and say "just work harder!"

X2. My fiancé never says anything about what I spend on watches, cars, boats, our RV, firearms, or any other thing I want and I wouldn't dream about saying anything about what she wants to buy. We have shared everything for over 3 years and will be married a month from tomorrow. I guess since I've never seen my parents say anything about the others purchasesit just seems very strange to me. If we can afford it whatever the others hobbies are is totally fine. If her/my love was collecting fossilized Dino poop and we could afford it that's ok.

What's wrong with collecting Coprolite?

Puffy · 22 May 2012, 09:11 PM

my Mrs couldn't give a rat's... don't smoke or get wired on all sorts so she's happy

jay1988 · 22 May 2012, 09:26 PM

My girl doesn't care less. I don't see why they would care ? My priority would always be the essentials and keeping a savings account for emergencies. It's not like I would ever let watches get in the way of taking care of what matters.

drockadam · 22 May 2012, 09:32 PM

I'll wear your TAG Heuer for you mate! Aquaracer's are nice watches!

mtrunner · 22 May 2012, 11:18 PM

I fall into the category that my wife actually encourages me to enjoy my little watch hobby. No ranting in my house.

kilyung · 22 May 2012, 11:32 PM

As long as our finances are in order, my wife doesn't care. In her words... enjoy them while you can, you'll have to sell one whenever the kids need a car or for each year at university. I'm hoping my kids prefer bicycling and get full scholarships or I'll be watchless in a few years.
