My wife supports me in my passions, she knew I was a WIS when we met! I also got her a DJ so that helped !

I can't bribe my wife. She has no interest in material goods like watches, bags, clothes she doesn't need

My wife is the same way, I beg her to buy things and she simply has no interest, guess I am a lucky man!

She probably wouldn't even notice a new watch unless I specifically show her... As long as it doesn't effect what she wants to do, and doesn't impact any 'we' things, she couldn't care less... Having said that, our spend on jewelry, shoes, purses, watches for her far exceeds mine as well...

Everyone's value system is different. Many if not most women would find buying more than one expensive watch unnecessary.

I've done this in the past with other stuff lol.

This is the missus. I gave her my old Breitling and she wears it randomly. But is uninterested in anymore.

Easy: 1. I am single. 2. I am a divorce attorney. I know exactly when it will stop being (just) my money :-)

My wife knows how much I love watches and encouraged me to buy my GMT today as I was starting to think twice about dropping the coin. She knows I sold my sub 4 years ago to pay rent Bc I lost my job and had a rough patch. She is the best wife ever. I am buying her a new ring ASAP!
