I feel your pain... my girlfriend is wearing my Sub C and I can't get it back. I had gotten her a cartier 32mm but she loves the Sub. I guess it's the "boyfriend" watch trend. Can't wait until it ends. :-)

NOOOOOOO!!! You have to be careful with that. Especially if you only have one Rolex each. My wife wears several different Rolex watches, among them is a Sub. When I don't notice she is wearing her sub, and I wear one of my SS sub's we look like idiots with the same watch on. Trust me on this, buy something different or pay attention, and wear another watch on days she wears the sub. I am speaking from experience.

Agreed! Can't have the same watch as the wife! No matter how nice it is.

That is perfect. Now you get the Daytona and share!!! Women don't wear the same watch everyday, depends on what (outfit) they are wearing. brilliant idea, wonder if my wife would like a subC :)

This sounds like a great idea for you.

And maybe you'll luck out and she'll get tired of that Sub C that is too big for her.


Congrats on the anniversary though!

x2....if she's happy, she's happy, so, no worries, but, since i'd rather have the subc over the DSSD and the DSSD and daytona aren't too far off, price-wise, i'd consider sweet talking her into getting a daytona and you keeping the subC.

good luck!
