Wife noticed my new purchase today...

[Todd Turbo S]

Let me start off by saying, over the last twenty plus years of my obsession with buying watches and cars, she’s only commented and complimented me twice, one was a Porsche I bought (my all time favorite car) and the other, is the 122610LV I bought last week at my AD. She started off by saying, “did you purchase yet another watch!”, to which I casually said, no, this is the same Hulk I’ve always had. Then she called my bluff and went to my watch holder and busted me.

She then asked me to try on both. So I put them on side by side, and she was surprised by just changing the dial to black what a sharp difference it made (she didn’t comment on the other details).

Anyway, the reason I bring this up, if after twenty plus years my wife has finally commented on a watch she likes, it just cements my own belief, this is one of the best modern SS watches Rolex has released to date (not counting five digits)

I’ve seen a few of your comments and wonder whether they’re genuine or whether you’re on the wind up?

My wife used to hate my car and watch obsession. She couldn’t understand why I would want more than one watch or why I would want a new car every other year.

She is on board now. Lately she has said she is keen to get a new Rolex of her own, even googled and showed me some images. And she even wants to see images of the new GLE 63s.

I am shocked lol
She has become an enabler

Ha your wallet is about to take a hit!

I’m really kind of impressed with the fact that you casually lied to your wife, she called you on it, and still got on board with you. That’s a tale to remember for sure.

Yes it is.

However, it wasn’t so much as a lie, as it was more like a “Tongue in cheek” response to her. I believe the fact she wanted me to try on both basically speaks volumes to that effect.

Thank goodness we have understanding wives. I know I'd be pissed if mine spent on shoes or purses as much money as I've spent on watches. We are very fortunate in many ways.

My wife can’t understand all the watches , but she’s OK with it . It’s all the motorcycles she’s not so good with .

[Giangos]

My fault. She wants me to re-size my sub for her. But she is a destroyer of watches and I said no. If I had done so, she may not have decided to look for her own.

It’s good though, I am happy with it.

If she's a "destroyer of watches" then you really should fix her up with a Rolex.

She has two of her own, lady’s djs. But they are small, 26mm, and now she is starting to prefer closer to 36-40mm.

Nah she’d give you a grace period to ‘make it right’ with a present of equal value

My first wife obsessed over my watch purchases. Among other luxury items. She was always asking me how much I spent on this one and why did I waste money “on that one when it looked so much like the first one.” She did not show these behaviors until we were married. She was well aware that I brought the majority of - ahem - resources to the union and yet was fairly strident in trying to control these purchases.

She didn’t last. I miss her sometimes. Not. Number two has much healthier outlook on this subject. Live and spend within your means. Be responsible and reasonable. Communicate. No lying or hiding.

Hahahah, so you couldn’t tricked her :-)
Of course, the black dial makes the bezel green bezel stands out way more than it does on the old version.

Way to go Todd. Great pair.

My wife didn’t notice my new cemit. She thinks I still have my 116610LN on my wrist. Lol.

1 Rolex = Several Louis Vuitton bags.

[scheneider]

saw the watch in person, still dont get the green sunburst dial. no offense, IMO it has a "cheap" feeling. the rest is nice

[MrMercedes]

My wife loves my watch obsession and is happy with every watch I buy.

[doramas]

It's all a matter of perspective

[Pw92676]

You got her approval:) You can either quit while you’re ahead. Or perhaps you have a new watch buddy so you can grow your collection even more :)

[travisb]

Win / win! Congrats on the best new reference of 2020!

[garyk]

I like your new watch better than the Hulk also. Your wife sounds like a good sport. I’m lucky to be married to my best friend also. She even gave me her blessing to get my grail watch which I’m still waiting for. Congrats!
