What's your real cost of owing a Rolex?

Sometimes it can be a nice handbag or a weekend break for my wife that i have to factor in to the cost. On occasions like this one i had to go the extra mile for the real deal. We are both happy and love our Rolex's thats the main thing.

Nice wrist shot. No offense, but I give her's the edge. Tough call I will admit, but she takes frist

Your lovely photo shows why the cost is really worth it; well done, I'm sure.

Mine is happy for me to buy what I want but she expects me to be upfront with my purchases which I am. For 2020 my wife is getting a TT DJ36, she wants a watch to wear and have something that she can leave for the next generation to enjoy. benefits me as well as I am going to get a TT CHNR, hopefully a good year.

No point in wearing one unless you can share with your significant other. 2013 brought a two tone sub for me and two tone 26mm lady date just for her. Christmas this year brings 2 more incoming but not here yet... I will post once they arrive...

If I had to buy a watch for my wife every time I buy one for myself... I would be broke

Inevitably, one's wife will take a fancy to watches. Actually, neat to surprise her with a watch.

Not to state the obvious. But I agree.

I'm really pleased that she has taken a fancy to watches. This one was a surprise for her and she loves it. Its nice to share a passion for something that's really appreciated.
