Very nice.

My wife puts up with me and my hobby.

She shows no interest in it however, as such she has no interest in getting or wearing one.

Same here. The watches she has were from me buying them to alleviate my guilt when buying watches for myself. Example - purchased a new DJ with diamond markers in January 2011 and she has worn it probably 2 dozen times. Saw a new TT RG DJ at a great price a few days ago and wanted to buy it for her but she won't let me. Oh well ......

Absolutely stunning, particularly like how the white daytona looks. Stunner.

Mine used to nag a bit on my purchases, but she has come to realize, the purchases does not change our (mine and hers) quality of life, and I'm not susceptible to any cure.

I'm beyond hope.

My wife always said that she was very happy wearing her Seiko & Movado until I gave her a DJ this Christmas. She hasn't taken it off yet & the other day when I was playing with the lightbox & macro lens she bought me for Christmas she asked me "Are you going to photograph MY Rolex".

Thankfully my wife could care less how many watches I have! As for her she has 2: WG President with silver diamond dial and TT DJ Oyster rhodium roman dial. She has no interest in getting another though and I have offered many times. Great pics also!!

my wife is usually clattering around in a field with Ponies / Livestock so buying her anything remotely decent would be a waste, she has a habit of annihilating most watches within a few months....given the choice she'd prefer a Rado or Baume & Mercier over a Rolex unless it was a seriously blinged out model
