His & Hers?

Years ago as a wedding anniversary gift, I bought my wife a Tag Heuer watch, and I liked how it looked so much I bought a matching gents one for me!



Since then, my wife and I have not bought watches that have a his/hers option (hers tend to have diamonds and she prefers quartz movements, and I like dive/sports/race themed automatic watches), but for many years these watches were the watches we wore every day.

Although I'd draw the line at spouses wearing "matching" anything with watches, a matching set of watches with one's spouses seems to be a good thing.

Any one else out there have with their spouse a matching set of watches?

Nope. My wife prefers Cartier, Piaget and Locman quartz movements. All my quartz watches sit in a watch box. Haven't worn one since I got into wearing automatics. Who wants to bother changing a battery.

Thanks, Rolexlady. I see you own a DJ on a Jubilee bracelet as well. Have we ever seen a photo of your watch? I would love to see it, if you get a chance.

My wife loves hers. I bought her that one as a retirement gift. She also has this one, but prefers the champagne-dialed one the most:

No, Eddie, sorry....I made that mistake once and regretted it. I think I'll just hang on to this baby. BTW, you already have a TT Blue Sub. Why would you want TWO of the same?
