I put my name down on the list for a Tudor BB Bronze which I really liked the look of. Since then,about a month ago my AD called me and said he had a BB Dark so I went straight out and got that one. Last night I booked and paid for another holiday which has left me broke. Today my AD called and said the Bronze is in if I want it.
Aaaaarrrggghhh.

I am just hoping the Mrs is in a good mood when I ask her later.

...seen this movie before. Waiting for INCOMING pictures!

Funkeruski · 25 November 2016, 03:33 AM

Don't ask her.

japenney · 25 November 2016, 03:34 AM

2 tudor + vacation = 1 rolex purchase. Just pretend you got a new Rolex

Racerdj · 25 November 2016, 03:34 AM

I hope to see an incoming!

Ask her if she has spare money but don't borrow if you really are broke.

Make sure you wash the dinner dishes and take out the trash first. Maybe draw her a nice warm bath too...then ask her.

Just get the BB Bronze and stop for some flowers on the way home..I'm sure she'd love the surprise..

TheRolexKingofLV · 25 November 2016, 04:01 AM

I'm sure you will make it happen

Alexwwjd · 25 November 2016, 04:32 AM

What are the odds that she won't notice it?

Congrats on the incoming!

...and when she asks what kind of watch is on your wrist, remember, you have had it for few years now...

Some times it's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission...

too funny! I've used that more than once or twice. Stopped working eventually. Now I just say sorry and buy the misses one of her own.

Unfortunately this is the way these things happen. Sorry to hear this! I would absolutely make the Wife happy before I picked up the Bronze.

That strategy May not always be the best policy

Tell her, save, buy her something...

I pulled this off with my wife when I picked up the Black Bay Bronze two weeks ago. I have a bronze Helson Shark Diver with the green dial. I told her that I changed the dial on that watch and slapped on a new strap. Worked like a charm.

I think my wife would definitely notice if I get home with a rose gold DD 40.

She would notice:
DD 40
16710 Coke
Hulk
DJ 41 w/Jubilee
Basically any Rolesor

She wouldn't notice:
Black sub
GMT II

I should write a cheat sheet.

So, I spoke to the wife and I was told that I could buy it if I want, but would that be sensible with the money I have paid out for different things over the last month, other holidays and watches etc. Trying to translate this from the "female" to "male" language I think I was given a NO!

Correctamundo, go ahead and buy it if you feel lucky, punk, well do you?

gregmoeck · 26 November 2016, 04:25 AM

Take the vacation, get watch next year

T. Ferguson · 26 November 2016, 04:31 AM

You said you're broke so why even bother asking the wife? Are you going to ask her to buy it for you?

japenney · 26 November 2016, 04:35 AM

Listen man. Its a Tudor bronze. Your AD is leading you on and trying to make you believe that its hard to get because they had to "order it in". That watch will be even easier to get in 6 months time and will be in every AD window. The only reason they are even moderately difficult to find right now is because they are a fairly new release. Take a deep breath and grab one (at a better price) next year.

spikester31 · 26 November 2016, 04:49 AM

Yep, next year is the plan I think. There will prob be something else I want by then so will change my mind anyway!
