Does your spouse, significant other, really notice?

[Jack T]

In the kitchen yesterday, my wife asks if that is the watch I was wearing the evening before. "No, sweetheart, that was my Explorer, this is the Submariner", to which she remarked "Well, this one looks nice, big dial, shiny, I like it!"
Then we had a brief exchange about dial size relative to bezel and how that can affect the perception of size of a watch, to which she says "I don't really care abount any of that, I just like the watch", and walks away.

In three years that is the most extensive (voluntary) conversation she has ever engaged in regarding my watches.
