Nope. Thought about it...but funds are tight AND my wife thinks Rolexes are too expensive.

Thomas · 24 December 2009, 09:26 AM

No more Rolex' for me or my wife, just getting to expensive, especially if they have another price increase, which they will. Getting hard to justify the price, not that I ever could. Omega is getting pricy too, but still with a lot of people's budget. Omega Aqua Terra will probably be my next new watch.

Not the right time for me but I enjoy looking at everyone's babies.

DS_Obsessed · 24 December 2009, 10:25 AM

Yep, just closed on some one for my wife and for me. Probably spent too much and will hear about it, but I just couldn't help myself. I'll post some picks on Xmas day once they get opened up.

thesharkfactor · 25 December 2009, 03:42 AM

BASSETHOUNDS · 25 December 2009, 03:50 AM

Yes , bought myself the SS GMT2c and a second hand 116598 SACO leopard Daytona for the wife .

Warnsboy · 25 December 2009, 04:13 AM

Reached an agreement with a local collector/resaler at the dining room table yesterday evening. Will closed in early January after the Holiday. Bought her a LNIB TT DJ 179173 with Gold tapestry dial and myself a LNIB Explorer II 16570 Black Dial. This is a combined Xmas and 30th aniversary so we will celebrate!!

She doesn't know yet!!

Im not single but the other half can care less about watches. So I bought myself an ummmmmm Panerai 320....not a Rolex but just as cool.

Alcan · 26 December 2009, 11:19 AM

anyone bougt their wife,husband,gf a rolex this xmas?

Nope. She already has 3 and has told me in no uncertain terms that I'm not to spend any more money on *&^%%$#@ Rolex watches for her.

Apparently diamond pendants are ok, though.

Women, go figure.........

1watchaholic · 26 December 2009, 11:26 AM

Yes, I bought myself one with my wife's blessings.

SeaGoer · 26 December 2009, 11:28 AM

Yeap. Bought the wife a Lady President 178138 with the champagne dial. She has been encouraging me when I bought my sports so I figured it was her time now.

sambb · 26 December 2009, 11:31 AM

Well I bought myself a SD 16600, but I need to sell some watches before I get one for my wife!

Mosco · 26 December 2009, 11:38 AM

Yes, a 36mm DJ with the WG bezel, and factory black MOP/Diamond dial... Looks large on her small wrist, but all her other watches are large, so nothing new there... Will post wristshots soon!

Thanks, my friend!

Yep - that's the one! It is such a beauty in person... Men's watch, but the dial is very feminine, while not 'frilly'.

looking to buy · 26 December 2009, 12:00 PM

Bought myself a TT YM. I wanted to get my wife one but she does not like mechanical watches. So, she dropped $1600 on a woman's Tag in quartz. I cringed but what could I do?

karmatp · 26 December 2009, 12:06 PM

My wife bought me a Omega Speedmaster 3570.50 this year. Last year it was a GMT II, both keepers for life. If you have not looked closely at this watch, you need to. I just might like it more than the handfuls of Rolex watches I have owned over the years, time will tell but first impressions make it hard to beat.
