Mine wears everything like she stole it. She has er own watch now, so all good.
She is the same with cars... first time she drove my Porsche Boxster it got airborn (didn't see a speedbump...) just after she got caught by a speed camera.

I insure the hell out of everything, best way to keep sane

I wouldn't , she's not really the careful type. Thankfully, she never asked, she's not into watches. She's got tiny wrists anyway so my watches would look huge on her. I could carry on with excuses not to let her .

I let my wife wear any watch in my collection. Why?

Because:
1. she has wicked knife skills ;)
2. she hasn't lost any of my children or my dog while I am not home
3. she's my partner in crime

I would not mind but given the value of some of them she is too scared to bang them up... trying to convince her to buy a nice piece that could last a lifetime but she prefers having 15 X 300$ watches instead haha

I put my sub on my wife's wrist recently, and the only comment was "heavy", which is NOT a good thing in her mind. I've offered to purchase her a ladies Rolex but she prefers her Apple Watch....

My GF asked to try on my daytona for the first time this past weekend. I humored her. Made me a little nervous bc she can be rough on everything (including me sometimes). She asked how much it cost and gave a little eye roll when I replied “it’s a bit complicated.”

The only watch she likes wearing is my Daytona 116508. It makes me happy to see her wear it.

I wish she'd wear mine, would have saved me cash spent on buying her a piece for herself.

No she does not wear mine. She has her own. She only likes to wear DJ31's or similar sized watches.

your afraid to get your Rolex wet?

My wife has her own Rolex. We do not share since her wrist is so tiny.

Do you let your spouse or friend with benefits wear your Rolex?

No.

Friend... Get you own watches.
Wife... Has her own watches.
