I am sure that everyone in the TRF fully disclaims to their partner their intention to get another watch (not!). So let us assume for a moment that we do not, and we find ourselves looking at our beautiful new watch, imagining the places we will wear it to, the stories we will tell our friends and the wrist pictures we will post on TRF......when suddenly our wife/husband/significant other approaches and asks us that horrible question: Did you get a new watch?????

At that moment we need to be quick on our feet and give a very credible, ingenious and natural response. Thus the purpose of this thread, what will your response be?

Let me start with mine (which I actually used this week)

They will increase the price next month. Heard from a friend who knows a friend that has an uncle at an AD that has an inside connection.

Gotta say...I like your style.

I would also add..if there was unnecessary staring & rapid breathing, you simple say, with your hands outstretched...."can I help you?"

Don't worry honey I got a HUGE discount. I could sell it tomorrow and barely lose any money!

"Yes, I bought it for you, I was just wearing for a few days to make sure it was keeping time- Enjoy it...!

I didn't realize the AD had a policy "You get your fingerprints on it... you bought it". Thank goodness it was only the YG DDII instead of the Platona...

My wife is fine with me buying watches, as long as we don't have to eat rice, potatoes and spaghetti for the next year or two

viper9669 · 1 October 2014, 02:11 PM

I worked really hard, I don't drink, gamble, hit the clubs etc.
A new watch is just a way of rewarding myself.

And I stopped collecting Hot Toys.

Rusty888 · 1 October 2014, 02:11 PM

Second watch
I needed a weekend watch to go with my weekday watch.

Next watch
I needed a casual dress and a dressier piece

Next watch.
I needed a watch that I wouldn't mind if it got scratch. To protect the value of my other watches. I'm thinking of you

Next watch to 7th watch
There is 7 days in the week

8th watch
A recent study has said that if you wear your watches less they last longer. Like your shoes. If you wear them every day you will need to replace in 4 months. The servicing costs in saving are astronomical

Next watch
Oh this one isn't new ice had it for ages you just forget about it

Last watch
Okay you send me to get counselling.

Runnin' Rebel · 1 October 2014, 02:54 PM

My wife really keeps her eyes open now. She has now found my stash, surprisingly she just look at me and said " I want another one ". I said ok, all is good now

She saw my 116619 and loved it, I told her I traded my 116613 diamond dial in for that.

She's the best wife ever.

arguetaoscar · 1 October 2014, 03:30 PM

Don't worry there is a return policy, I just want to wear it for a little while.

No excuse necessary. My wife likes Rolexes. I only need an excuse if I buy a non-Rolex. True story.

"It just looks different. Remember when it had a white dial? I had it serviced and had the dial changed."

Lol... It's the same watch, I change the bezel. One bezel is called Submariner and the other bezel GMT!

My wife is more of an enabler than most on the Forum.
