I didn't expect that to happen.....
Had a day off today, and went shopping with the better half. We popped in to my local AD, primarily to buy a new strap for one of my watches.
I had been considering buying the wife a Rolex, but decided I would prefer she knew and could choose it. So, when she said "do you fancy spending some money?" I told her and asked her which models she liked. Guess which one she wanted? Any ideas? None! Yes, she didn't want one! Said she wouldn't wear it and didn't she a reason to spend that much on a watch! Oh well - bet that doesn't happen often. Bought her a nice bracelet instead, and left the jewelers with a heavier wallet than expected (which is always nice)...

You won two ways, she is happy and like you said you have a heavier wallet. A win-win situation all around!

My wife would rather have a nice ring,but at a push she would wear a Rolex. She dosn't wear a watch anyway so a nice watch is really wasted on her.

BTW, the AD did say he expected (and had heard rumors) that prices would increase very soon....

I know my girlfriend would refuse a Rolex anytime, she's not a watch nut. Maybe they're related?
Hope she wears the bracelet often!

Nice story Jason. It also frees up funds for your next Rolex!

In that case, you should have bought her a new Daytona SS. She wouldn't wear it, leaving you no choice but to wear it yourself ... even a bigger win!

I like it when we save money to buy more Rolex watches.

Nice!
That leaves more room to get yourself a new watch now.
