Well, first I think it is great that she appreciates the same thing you do - Rolex watches. Not every couple agrees on that.

Second, you have an amazing collection. You could keep it and just let her shop around for a while and look at some vintage and some new Rolex watches until she sees what she really wants - though her choice is terrific.

Third, if you are not inclined to add a pink gold to your collection, don't. You won't be happy if you are just doing it for her. You have to each get what you want otherwise buying something because someone else wants you to buy opens up a can of worms.

For example, my ex husband is an avid gun collector and wanted to buy me a Glock. I hate the look of the Glock. I wanted a vintage flint lock pocket pistol in solid gold. I got neither LOLOLOLOL.

Get what you want and let her get what she wants. That's called win/win ! !

"Avid gun collector" and "Glock" are mutually exclusive. No real collector would ever be caught dead with a Glock.

That's a lot of compromising, but nothing in the world beats making your wife happy.
Best of luck on this one, you're gonna need it.

There's a reason we don't speak about guns here.....this highly illogical statement right here is why.
Opens a door into.......

ROSE GOLD DAYTONA, with the black strap. I am very inclined to add this. Not really liking the word pink..lol. She's looking at the TT Rose Gold ladies mid size Date-Just, and I agree. It's seems more feminine then a full blown Daytona for her. And I don't need to sell anything !!

Where's Tony ??
