My wife thinks my collection is single dimensional

Don't know what she is talking about.

Very nice collection Fred.. and good luck with sale on that THC. That's the best price I've seen so far.

Every collection needs a theme.

You've got that and variation, too.

To me that seems quite balanced.

I do see a common theme, but I don't consider your collection single dimensional.
It's a beautiful and diverse collection. It's beautiful.

I gotta say though, she sounds like a sharp lady.

Three different brands with a common theme, nothing wrong with that!

You may have to acquiesce to the Mrs. superior powers of deduction.

Great collection of chronos there Fred.



But then again... They are awfully different to me... Must be the male brain.

You should agree with her. It's your opportunity to get another one.

First agree with her. Then agree with her again. Then add another dimension of your choosing.

I'm pretty sure people have got divorced for less.... just kidding.

I would take that as her permission to add a new but different piece because remember a happy wife means a happy life.

lol, they all do have a similar theme. Stainless steal, chronometers and bezels. Still a beautiful collection for a man who likes refined variations.
