Who gets one first? The wife or you?

[brainbizz]

Should be an absolute no brainer. I can assure you that you are in trouble just asking the question.

[Art 1]

Wife.

[Trurolexer]

ME FIRST AND GIMMES GIMMES!!!

[hflee55]

i would say the wife 1st....after that, u can spend on any no. of rolex without any guilt.

[Erix]

I say buy it, If wifey wants one too, buy one for her later.

Simple thing...you want it, you can afford it --> just buy the damn watch.

[cjp2k]

Well my girlfriend was flicking through the catalogue and found the watch she liked, happened to be the most expensive one in there at £125,000 ish! Needless to say I got my sub instead!

[SeaDweller1220]

I bough my SD first (2005), then 2 years later bough my wife one (ND White Gold/SS Oyster Perpetual). Then I was ALLOWED" to buy another one. Just in time because I gota SS Daytona BABY!!
Here we are in Cocoa Beach 2 weeks ago Watching the Redsox get beat by TB Rays. (Picture was taken late in the game, as you can see in in my eyes)!!
And now 2 weeks later The Phillies are World Champs!!!!

Thank folks for all the comments.

I think I'm with the minority consensus here which is to get one for ME first! LOL

Thanks

A 2 Rolex family is a happy family!

Wifey 1st is my motto. This also applies to who gets a new car 1st.

[bobl]

What about 1 watch and two bands? See who fights for it more.

Paid half for hers when we were dating then when we got engaged she paid for mine in full. A sound like a good deal, but the trade off was an engagement ring that brought my watch fund to zero. LOL

[SS Oyster]

Buy one for yourself and when you divorce, don't worry, she'll get her 1/2 ... at least in CA and WA?

[mfer]

buy her first. Easy discussion for me.

[Perdu]

You should of checked that she was a Seiko girl before you married her.

In my experience, waiting for someone only leaves you high and dry...and waiting. To fnd someone, you need to actively look and pursue!!

With your Rolex, you now have all the tools necessary to keep track of time and make it to your rendezvous!!

Get to it, pal!!

[enigma-2]

Me. I get the Rolex.
My wife doesn't need one, after all, she has all she could ever want. Me!













Please don't tell her I wrote this......

Anyway, if I had to choose, I would buy hers first and mine later. Its all about keeping the wife happy. Remember....happy wife = happy family

X2
But your right about keeping her happy, priority is the WIFEY . . . .

Morten you guys look great together...by the way you look like the guy from food network..the TV show Dinner Drive-in and Dives...

[Starwalker]

usually i'll say ladies first...but lets say she wanted a fendi or chanel hand bag, and i'm sure that she would want one more than u would, lol...would she buy u a handbag first.....she'll understand yur passion....

[JimC]

If I get one of those, well, we'll see. Wait, I just got two in recent history...

Hey, you better catch up!

:P

[newrolexman]

I have 3 Rollies, when I get my 5th,, I ll get the wife a SS Date Just with MOP face,, she will be happy.

For now she is happy with her Citizen Eco Drive, perfect time kept, no batteries ever needed and looks good,, and was $104.

Maybe we are all being duped??? Sometimes I wonder if its insane to spend all this $$$$$$ to have a Rolex (es).

[rogerrabbit168]

this is a good post, sorry for bringing it back to the top, newb and are just reading through all the post

anyhow, I did bought my wife a rolex first, two years ago. luckily she only liked the basic one, now i can get either a sd or sub date without any quilt, haha

[ohsixx]

In my case, she perfers jewelery to watches, so I had a Rolex long before her. Her stuff costs more than mine anyway.

In your case, your wife should get it first, if that is what she wants. There is plenty of time.

[JaySS]

Ideally, you would be in JJ's position (your own bank accounts) and you could buy what you wanted without having to answer to anyone

However, in this instance it may be better to let fate decide - whoever has the next birthday gets the watch Assuming they aren't on the same day of course - then you are stuffed

I should also point out tht if what's yours is hers and vise versa, there are two outcomes:

1. Buy one Rolex and "share" it (make sure it is more comfortable for a man sized wrist ...)
2. If she really wanted a Rolex, she would use her/your money and go out and buy one. You could do the same

Hope this helps Just be grateful you have a loving wife in any case.

[charliec]

Simple....buy her a DSSD ...it'll be way too big, thus rendering it useless, for her anyway!!!

You could get a MidSize Yacht-Master and take turns wearing it!
