HOLY $ h *&
I got the GREEN LIGHT, AGAIN!

Jokingly (sort of serious) I asked my wife if I can purchase another Rolex. She said," do whatever you want as long as you buy me a computer."

I said NO PROBLEM!! The funny thing is, I was going to buy her the computer anyway.

What an awesome partner! I think I am going for a GMT this time!!

Abuse the trust, and get an 18k White gold Submariner with blue dial & blue bezel

I would use this opportunity to skip right up to the grail watch in one wack!

Buy her a palm pilot, and be done with it!

Go Apple, and never look back!

I always buy my wife new computers... About every second year. Now she's on a Macbook Pro 13", she loves it!

Thanks buddy, I know you know I get weak in the knees when I see that beautiful blue and white sub but:

I CANT AFFORD IT YET ("Yet"!!)

I need the GMT first, then I can work on the my favorite of all-->THE SMURF!!

Sounds pretty cool, especially since an average computer is a lot cheaper than a Rolex

So what's it gonna be? Maybe a green watch to suit the "green light" ?

There's a great Windows 7 Hewlett Packard for $799 at Costco. Nice laptop, 17 in. screen, and a lot of GB.

I am personally a Mac user but let me tell you that I might convert after looking at how nice the Windows 7 platform is and the low prices of PCs. You get a lot of computer for your buck.

She already caught me off guard. I wasnt even planning on a new watch quit this early (after the DeepSea). I for sure thought she would "scold" me. Now that she is game, I better HURRY!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! Tell her she is Beautiful and she deserves one and that it will make her life easier and complete

Then a couple days later, mope around the house and be very mysterious about it. She will ask u whats wrong and just say "nothing". However a couple hours later tell her that your friend's wife bought him a new rollie.

Give her a kiss good night and tell her you would love a new watch too

THAT SHOULD WORK! Next time dont offer anything at first, let her tell u what she wants!! Then spring in the Rolex desire.
