WARNING: Very silly post.

Hi all, with the release of issue 5 of the Rolex Magazine I have been thinking when a good time would be to try and make it out to a local dealer to pick up a copy. (It's hard with 2 little ones around.) My wife said she was headed out to run errands today so I mentioned that if she had time, maybe stop by and pick it up for me. She got back and said "I think they changed the design and format of the magazines"...check out the picture below. One is not like the others.

She picked up a 2014-2015 catalogue.

So my question is for all you Rolex experts. Should I divorce her?

I'm obviously KIDDING. I'd die without her (literally, she provides/cooks all my meals) and love her more than all my watches combined...but it's pretty close, :)

Sounds to me like she's doing a little enabling!

Good point. I'll teach her a lesson on what happens when she makes mistakes like this...by buying a bunch of watches from the 2014-2015 lineup, :)

She's a keeper!

Unlike your Rolex, you can shower with your Wife.

You mean it is safe to go in water with the Wife ?

No to divorce, wife will take half your watches and magazines, maybe half the catalogue as well

SALTY · 7 October 2015, 07:39 AM

Not silly; it's all Rolex and all good!

Old Expat Beast · 7 October 2015, 08:39 AM

She tried to help. That was nice of her.

Jocke · 7 October 2015, 08:44 AM

That day my "wife" comming home with Rolex stuff to me I will marry her.

EddyG · 7 October 2015, 08:45 AM

I asked at an AD in Kent the other day and they haven't got issue #5 yet and didn't even seem to know about it they had #4 there though

sutats · 7 October 2015, 09:19 AM

Only if the mistress is happy to fill her shoes.

I hardly ever see Rolex magazines lying around in boutiques or at ADs. Perhaps I always turn up too late in the day. Anyway, to save time get your AD to post it to you.

I've never seen them "lying around" but for all 4 that I have, I simply asked and they were happy to give me one. They seem to keep them in drawers. I should also add that I got my magazines from 4 different ADs. I tend to come across them while traveling.

Yachtmaster I believe.

Now, if she came home with a ROLEX, that would have been even better

Sounds like something my wife would do! Boy oh boy, where would we be without them!

GerardoG · 9 October 2015, 08:45 PM

She did bring something. Here, I would only get 'the look'....

RolexAuthority · 9 October 2015, 08:51 PM

Maybe she was in a rush to go to the shoe and bags and accessories shops least she tried :) now if my wife wanted me to get her a handbag brochure it'd be the fastest 1minute I ever spent in a shop :)

Rolex addict · 10 October 2015, 12:03 AM

I say pick something out for Christmas. That's why she brought you a catalog, right?

If we started a thread on stories about our wives...my oh my...I will say that she is a GREAT supporter of my little "hobby". But I also don't go nuts with it either so there's a mutual respect and understanding. She actually got me a very nice watch roll for my birthday this year. For her birthday, I got her a Cartier LOVE bracelet for those of you familiar, :)
