No pictures of my wife with watches. She does not share that interest with me.

When I say (whilst pointing at one I don't have...yet) "I love that watch" she just shakes her head and says "I love you" which is as close as I get to her understanding "WIS-dom"

Bout as close as she gets to a Rolex...on me

My wife kind of decided she'd be the keeper of the 14060 I bought. I put a pink NATO on it and she loves it. Sadly, I dont get to wear it much anymore.

My wife is fairly petite. She complains that the 26mm TT DJ I bought her is too heavy. I tell her they don't make them any smaller. LOL.

Yepp, my wife wears a A-series (98/99) Sub 16610 she got for me as a wedding gift - it is only fair that she uses it! :-) Apart from that, she really doesn't care that much about watches.

Sorry, no photos, privacy and all that.

Hey Paul, that's actually our son looking on disapprovingly, but that is exactly my sentiment. He gets my GMT upon College Graduation, and I bought the Sub so my daughter could get one too when she graduates. Something for them to remember their dear old dad. But until she gets out of school, it's found a home on my wifes' wrist.

I gave my first wife a TT DJ 15 years ago after the birth of our son. She still wears it every day. She's jealous of the TT YM my good wife wears when she is not wearing my Speedy or her favorite, a Blue California dial Tudor DJ.

Mine does not usually wear a watch, but she does have one or two Rollies that she gravitates to every time we happen to stop into an AD together!

I believe right around 1.7, if I remember correctly.

Thank you! I had it made for her based on a design I saw at Gubelin in Geneva... Just couldn't afford those Swiss prices at the moment though, so took a picture and had a jeweler make it from scratch.
