My, how times have changed

Seems I've corrupted him and he's now a bit of a WIS! He's come a long way!
I bet he was really impressed 7 years ago, and thought he had better pull his socks up if he was going to get anywhere with this sophisticated lady

Don't expect him to ever admit that

Lots of ladies in asia wear a man's watch like the sub. All depends if they are comfortable wearing them.

I think the submariner is a guy's watch and that's how its design really is ..... I guess that diamond ring you are wearing, a guy can wear it too but it looks better on your hand, because it is feminine .. similarly, the sub has "maleness" built into it ...

Great pair!

I guess your husband's SS Sub Date has the CRB?

Some M's have been reported not having it.

Congrats!

We'll have to start calling you KARIS THE CORRUPTER!

Very nice pair. Wear them in good health together.

Nice one Karis!! The pair looks stunning! I would love my future wife to be into the brand, so we could share the passion...
Best to you and your husband for the New Year And I think the "man's" SS Sub is carried excellently by your wrist btw :) I'm sure there are by-laws against a solitaire that size too!!!!
