My girlfriend humors my madness
SO my girlfriend Kelsey was with me when I was running around Boston shop to shop looking for a good deal on a Submariner. She was such a sport and she seemed to enjoy the hunt as much as I did. I am guessing she mostly enjoyed the arrogant sales people ignoring me [I left the suit and GMT at home on purpose].
I finally narrowed it down and purchased one and I bet she thought that would be the last she heard about it..... Well...... I've been talking about the watch for the last few weeks [Since I got it] and I was explaining to her [She calls it my new shiny] how fast the date changes over. Since the Sub was new to me I felt the need to educate her on Rolex movements compared to cheaper/other movements. She was curious and wanted to try and see if she could see it shift and hear the click I mentioned. I had it regulated and noticed the time it shifts is a little later now. Because of this the first two nights we missed it, she was so pissed hahaha.. she's a real sport! So we decided last night we would watch the watch from 12:00AM onward.. until we saw it.. trying not to blink! ...So there we were.. for a minute and 20 seconds.. just.. looking at the watch not blinking.. Hahahahaha..I would try and distract her and she would get mad... and *CLICK* she was so excited about it.. 'WOW, that was amazing!' (She says that a lot.. ) I thought it was great she actually humored my interests... I think she gets a kick out of how excited I get out of the things I am into.. it's refreshing because I always dated girls that could not care less..Hell I married one once. I know what your thinking... 'Why not just set it ahead and watch it whenever?'.. Well, because it's been running 7 or so days without me setting it and it's been only 0.5-+2 a day! I want to see how much it is ahead next month! PS: When she calls me she actually asks me how my watch is doing Figured I'd share with you folks how happy I was she got such a kick out of the quest. pps:Sorry about the run ons etc, long day, I wanted to post before I passed out.. haha.. |

Does your wife know about your g/f Kelsey?
I share the same relationship with my g/f. She is infatuated with watches of all kinds now. My Monaco hasn't left her wrist. |

My wife just tolerates my habit... She has become slightly more interested in watches after I got her a Lady DJ this year, but thats as far as it goes.

Sounds like she's a keeper. My wife humors my madnesses too.
The good ones will, they don't have to understand, just accept. |
