On day 5

Take her out for dinner again, but this time turn up late for 15 mins ~ 30 mins

after meeting up with her, tell her this

" I am so sorry dear, I think i had to buy a new watch! I am late for most of my appointment today, i really does not wish to see you waiting for me in the cold. you worth more than the watch in my heart. I can change all the watches but there is only one you."

Day 6
Show her the parcel

with a box of G O D I V A

Say nothing, when she notices it, tell her you have had it for six months and have been fuming that she doesn't even notice your new watch, where you are supposed to notice every little detail.
She will feel much to guilty to complain.

I would tell her before you pull the trigger - explain to her that it is something that you really would like to have and that you have an excellent deal set up but you wanted to talk to her about it first - I am sure that she will give you the OK - then why not take her with you and treat her to a nice lunch to remember the occassion.

Good luck.

You and me both, weeks of psychological sillyness on my part.

My wife gets mad when I buy bicycles, she only shakes her head when I buy another watch. Best practice, ask first and often, eventually you can wear them down!
