Got her a TT DJ for her 30th birthday with the hope it would spark interest in the hobby. It didn't get her excited enough to become a collector, but she does love her DJ and talk about watches more now. She also seems more interested in giving opinions towards my next purchases, and she doesn't roll her eyes as often when we talk prices :)

Currently, the only watch my Wife is interested in is the Speedy Pro. Specifically, the hesalite model with the "Flight Qualified..." Inscription on the case back. That's my next purchase, and she's welcome to wear it anytime she wants! Her favorite from my current collection is the red/black 16710. Basically, she has very little interest in watches...

I've tried so many times to get my wife a Rolex and she declines each time. She wears a Cartier and said she would rather have new diamond ear rings.

Family friends who have more than one wife who are all clamouring against each other for the latest blingy doodad... gee whiz, say a prayer for the Mr's wallet as that's why HongKong & Dubai sell so many Rolexes hahaha...

My wife never had an interest in watches. Over the years, I have bought her several timepieces and slowly that interest has developed. She doesn't have a Rolex yet, but she says she wants a Reverso first before she gets a Rolex. I told her she's now on her own

Bought my wife a red grape op for our anniversary last year. She rarely takes it off and actually pays attention now. Spotted a turquoise dialed 31 at an ad in fl she almost lost her marbles over. I was amazed!
