I just spilled my Sprite drink all over myself! Is this question for real? Show her pictures of Mike's (moderator) collection and report back! Before you do report back you know that the Pepsi is an iconic Rolex piece right?

Yep. In my case, I'd even buy one if my boyfriend hated it if that's what I wanted.

If my girlfriend said it was ugly- yes for sure. If my wife said it is ugly than no!

My girlfriend loved anything that made me happy. Just one reason she became my wife.

Thats a very silly question. Get the watch and take a look 5 or 10 years later and see which looks better !

My girlfriend is in a different timezone for most of the year. I don't own a Rolex GMT, but got a Steinhart pepsi bezel, and just told her it'd help me keep track of what time it was in DC. Bam! Purchase justified.

If I listened to what my wife thought about watches then I would probably just own a single Fossil watch.
