My wife is worse than me....

I bought her a 14060 which she loved for a month. She then decided she needed a date so I traded her 14060 and got her a SeaDweller. 5 mins ago she just told me that it is too big and heavy for her and she liked the smaller Sub better.....


I think I've created a monster.....

She saw a rose gold Daytona on some movie star and said that's sooo pretty. I just shook my head.
