Would you give up your Rolex to indulge your partner?

[thegrandseirolexguy]

Just a hypothetical question.

If you only had one Rolex, would you sell it so that the wife could indulge herself in other luxury goods (jewellery, purses etc)?

This assumes you don’t want to cough up more cash and that you could comfortably afford what she wanted anyway without selling the Rolex.

Sure, my wife does so very much as we're a team. Plus there are other timepieces to enjoy here.

Thankfully my wife has no interest in luxury goods and views my interest in watches with bemusement. She will never put me in that position.

I am truly blessed.

This is definitely a "it depends" situation. But based on the exact scenario outlined, no, I would just pay for it and keep my watch.

That said, my wife makes more than me, so she should buy whatever she wants haha.

Hell no … earn your s*** women this is the era of independence

[Tim Plains]

Why would you when, per your words, you can comfortably afford her jewelry? Stop being stingy and treat her to something nice.

[bjdub]

My only Rolex was a wedding gift from her... I can't think of any scenario where I would sell it barring bartering with it for food or weapons during the apocalypse.

Happy wife happy life is what the saying

[APhound]

If my wife wanted something I’d rather her have it than my watch

My wife doesn’t care for material possessions. So I feel it’s necessary to be doubly materialistic.

[173rdabn]

Cheap bast..d buy her what she wants/needs. Keep the watch.

[wesdaniel]

Happy spouse, happy house.

[Bazil]

Absolutely ….





No chance ..

[rolexjackson]

Absolutely

No, I wouldn't. My wife and I have been married for over 40 years. Besides the normal budget for food, clothing, mortgage etc. we set aside what I'll call "mad money" at the beginning of the year for each of us. I spend my money on what I want and she spends her money on what she wants. I have no say in what she spends her money on and she has no say in what I spend mine on. If either of us runs out of money during the course of the year, oh well. We just have to wait until January when the "mad money" gets replenished. Or, the individual which runs out of cash can sell something that is theirs to provide them some cash to get what it is that they want. We have been doing this for years and works out great for us. May not for others. This leads to not only a happy wife, but a happy husband as well.

[HHIslander]

No, but I’d float her a loan.

[Saransh]

I dont think my wife would ever want me to do that as if she wanted something it would be a berkin which ( we are waiting for) she would not want herself to have something like that and me have nothing of the same worth we are a team.
And me personally i would do that to make her happy as she does a lot for me as well.
But it would be a no go. She would fight me to keep my watch

Second marriages and separate finances. Bought expensive real estate and funded several businesses together. Silly question.

[77T]

I definitely would...
...if only I could.

Taking one for the team, stepping up! I honor your stoicism.

[Kiddodoc]

I am fortunate to not have a wife who wants the high end purses, jewelry and does so much for me and my son. She has 3 Rolex watches now and several high end purses that I purchased for her. So luckily don't have to part with any of my watches.

[airchitect]

Aren’t they all strong and independent now? Geez…I wouldn’t want to mess that up for her so it’s a hard no from me dawg.

Nope. It’s all about me and myself.

My wife thinks I am a foolish idiot when it comes to watches!

[Drew.rob]

If that came from my earned income / acts as a memento from an achievement, I wouldn’t sell unless I truly needed to.

Here’s some advice, if you need to sell luxury goods to buy luxury goods, maybe you shouldn’t be buying them. Buy when you can and no other time. If you can’t wear them and enjoy them without worrying about it, I’d hold off until you are ready

No !

Any wife/spouse that would expect or allow you to do so is not worth having.

[KathleenL]

I have only one Rolex, which my husband purchased for me for our 40th anniversary in 2021. So, no, I would never, ever, sell it or get rid of it in any way, shape, or form for any reason.
