What are your guys thoughts on this.

My lady friend used to not like watches at all. She now loves my subby and is thinking she wants a Rolex also. Well, we tried on several and she really like the mid sized SS/Pt YM. Well, I really like the full size SS/Pt YM. What do you guys think about his and her matching SS/Pt YM's? Would that be to twinkie'ish????

SPACE-DWELLER · 8 May 2008, 05:50 AM

Imho, that would be cool!

After all, you ARE a pair!

And the YM midsize has one of the best Rolex movts. ever made, the Cal. 2235.

Bobareno · 8 May 2008, 05:52 AM

That would be pretty cool!

SPORTSFAN · 8 May 2008, 06:00 AM

Hi.
In my opinion matching wathes is a bit twee.

This however is COOL

Regards Mike (and Shirley).

Mrdi · 8 May 2008, 06:01 AM

I would be uncomfortable.

For Chagrins, let her wear the larger size and you wear the mid.
That would be a stitch!

kcmo · 8 May 2008, 06:02 AM

I don't see anything wrong with it at all!

In fact my hubby wears his Sub 16610 every day and whenever I put mine on to wear I scream out 'TWINS' to him!!!! He used to roll his eyes.....but then HE DID it a few days ago!!!!!!!

mfer · 8 May 2008, 06:15 AM

Too funny. I don't know. Seems awful twinkie to me. Why did she have to pick the one I wanted?!?!?!?!

Go for it..

Don't forget your matching T-shirts and embroidered wind-breakers...

Hey, where have you been, Gha?!

Welcome back!

Sounds like a plan to me. What a great way to get a new Rollie and get brownie points to boot! Remember, age and treachery beats youth and enthusiasm every time.

My wife and I have matching Omega Seamaster Pros. It's my favorite watch...a surprise Christmas gift and I think of her when I look at it.

OMG!@!!!!!

So I'm definitely not doing it now!

East Bay Rider · 8 May 2008, 01:07 PM

Who's going to notice? Unless you sit at the table holding hands and the watches are close to each other... Yeah that would be dorky.

I believe your lady friend still doesn't like watches..................she only like the $5000 price tag attached.

To prove my point, they did a wine group-study a couple of years ago. The leaders of the study presented the group with various bottles of wine that had their labels removed. To make things interesting, they mixed up the bottles and put miss-matched price-stickers on each bottle. For instance, that cheap $7 bottle of red-wine was priced at $30, and vice versa.

When the group was asked which bottle of wine they enjoyed the most, the majority picked the phony $30 bottle of wine!

On this woman, I suggest you get her a Folex. She won't know the difference and it'll get you TONS of nookey! I guarantee it!

kradcliffe · 8 May 2008, 01:57 PM

I have a GMT TT C, she has a TT Black Sub. Similar, we get comments all the time about our matching watches until I correct them.

Magik · 8 May 2008, 02:09 PM

I think a pair of Rolex watches would be cool. I'm not sure about having the same style though (ie. full size and mid size Yacht Masters).

It's cool that your significant other can appreciate a fine watch though. My wife sees no value in fine watches. I have to constantly check her Tag to make sure it's on the right date and the crown is screwed in

Mrdi · 8 May 2008, 02:26 PM

That is normal behavior for many bowling league couples.

Andad · 8 May 2008, 04:01 PM

IDEA.

Daytona SS for your lady and a Milgauss GV for you.

Then you can mix and match at the weekends.

No, she likes 'em alright. She just never considered them before. She is all about quality as her shoe and purse collection are proof. I didn't believe her at first, but she got me a Louis Vuitton wallet for my birthday and it is truly a high quality piece of leather. She has always liked watches and wanted a Cartier Tank auto. Never considered Rolex, b/c the ladies sizes are two small. She likes larger watches. I started showing her the Perpetual lines and the "gents/unisex" size. She loves 'em.
