She thinks my Rolex trio look EXACTLY the same !!!!

Mine does, we combined our Rolex empire (just kidding) when we married... and have grown it from there.
I have said it on here a few times, my wife loves Rolexes as much or more than me. What she finds insane is the time I spend on here or taking pictures of the watches. Last night I started to tell her about one of the threads on here and she gave me the biggest eye roll I have ever received from her! When she sees me walking through the house with my boxes of Rolex goodies and a camera, she laughs out loud. I think she would feel less sorry for me if something else was in the box... we'll leave it at that. lol

HA! My wife knows EXACTLY what is in my watch box.

Sunday I surprised her with a new Sud-Date which she had her heart set on and the first thing she wanted to know was did I sell one of my other watches to pay for it - because she would not accept it if I had given one of mine up to pay for it.

When we got home she insisted on taking inventory just to make sure...

40 to 50% under declare value... Both Daytonas ss $ 5500 each..

chebert · 28 January 2010, 02:43 AM

So far , Yes .

rad87gn · 28 January 2010, 03:38 AM

Yep. I don't hide anything. She doesn't care. It's my money. I spoil her enough anyway.

TattooedGQ · 28 January 2010, 03:41 AM

I just get the "Is that ANOTHER watch? How much was that one?" from the girlfriend. I drop a zero off the end of the price and tell her......it kinda works.

RRGHOST1 · 28 January 2010, 03:47 AM

My wife is a nurse and not really bothered about watches, but she knows what a Rolex looks like. She often comments to the Surgeons and Doctors about their Rolex watches and they are supprised about how she can spot them. As i say, she is not a watch person, but she did say she would wear a Rolex if i want to buy her one.....oh dear !...and she will not be fobbed off with an Omega or anything less either....... !

We've been married 43 years and we discuss every major purchase. We spent years watching every dollar and now that the kids are gone we can afford a few luxuries.

Love hearing that....congrats on 43 years and good on you for treating yourself and respectfully making major purchase decisions together!

I tried to tell my wife a year ago but I don't want to interupt her talking.

tandrup · 28 January 2010, 04:22 AM

My wife doesn't know what I buy and when I buy, but she does notice the "new" additions when I start wearing them. Usually she is satisfied and doesn't bother me if I just tell her that I got a great deal and would be able to sell the watch tomorrow and get my money back. It's that easy...

BarkMaster · 28 January 2010, 04:28 AM

No she doesn't. Shhhhh, not a word OK?

kjb · 28 January 2010, 04:54 AM

I always ask my wife what she thinks and how it looks before I buy one. No secrets.

rfknauss · 28 January 2010, 05:48 AM

My wife only knows that I wear a Rolex every day. She did not even notice when I started wearing my new LV Sub last year.
She thought it was my vintage 5513 Sub that I wore for 30 years!

Jocke · 28 January 2010, 05:54 AM

I'm not sure my wife can count so far.

JBat · 28 January 2010, 05:54 AM

Well, teh wife bought me the Sub for our first anniversary in September, and she was home when my GMT arrived a couple of years ago (I tried to conceal it, but failed miserably

). And the one I have on the way is for her birthday.

Seriously, though, she wouldn't mind any more as long I'm not irresponsible with the purchases, which I'm not. I don't think she gets it, but she's cool with it.

Sparky CRNA · 28 January 2010, 08:06 AM

As long as I buy her a new one too...it doesn't matter!
