If your girlfriend would rather have the ~$10k Rolex rather than a ~$10k engagement ring, then you've probably got a problem and should abort mission ASAP. :P

LOL at the Pepsi GMT comment though. That's why I love this place.

Slightly different story. I recently gave my 1991 tt Thunderbird to my ex to wear until such time as our son is ready to receive and take care of the watch (son is 30 y/o). She's never asked me but I suggested that since the watch hardly got any wrist time she ought to wear it (she loves it, actually). She and I have and still remain very close since divorcing in in '81 because we had kids and now g-kids. It's at Ben Bridge for service and she will pick it up mid Feb. We're both cool with the decision.

I bought my GF a Rolex after being together for about a year back in 2005. We stayed together and didn't get married until last Oct. It's your money and life. Do what you want. Not everyone feels the same about it. Rolex were a lot cheaper back then too.

Totally agree !! Bad idea imho

I would buy my girlfriend a Rolex in a New York second if my wife would stop objecting to the cash outlay. After all she's already got 2 Rolex's of her own.

Ha ha good one! :-D

I bought Jessica (my girlfriend) a Daytona after I bought her a $10K diamond necklace, $25K diamond studs and a $45K 3 carat diamond ring. All in the last year! I'd say she's fairly spoiled...

I wanted some other guy to adopt me earlier in this thread but I changed my mind and now I want you to

Thanks! Although we are not engaged. This is just a "keep sweetie happy" ring. The engagement ring has to be much bigger...

Runnin' Rebel · 18 January 2012, 09:37 AM

I bought my girlfriend this, kinda impulse buy. She wasn't overwhelmed, but she loves it. Been with her 6 years though.

You might want to tell her that since unless I'm mistaken she's wearing it on her ring finger of her left hand...

There was no mention of the girlfriend`s watch being a Rolex,maybe it was a Swatch.

Widows Son · 18 January 2012, 10:25 AM

I bought my wife a Rolex as a wedding present.

Rockysmom · 18 January 2012, 01:04 PM

As long as you know she'll like it that's cool.

general · 18 January 2012, 05:49 PM

I don't know why but the terms sugar daddy and gold digger keep popping in my mind.

omegabenz · 18 January 2012, 06:27 PM

With all kidding aside, traditionally, people tend to refer to push presents for one's wife, however girlfriend would qualify for that too right? My friend received her Rolex DJii as her push present from her husband, so I don't see why that wouldn't translate to girlfriend. Some have kids without feeling the pressure or desire to marry.

It depends on the situation, in most cases however I don't think I would.

What's her's is her's, and what's his is half her's! Great combo!

Wifes and Rolexes are forever - I know some of you won't agree with the wife part.

Girl friends come and go - pun intended.

Caraptor · 19 January 2012, 06:55 AM

Girlfriend? No way.
Wife: Rolex
Girlfriend: Timex

jimisaint · 19 January 2012, 07:34 AM

I'd start off with a Seiko.

RX0-Unicorn · 19 January 2012, 12:01 PM
