Thanks guys for all the compliments guys.

By the way, the fact that she had no issue with me buying another watch meant that my feelings of trepidation were clearly all in my head and unwarranted, and honesty ended up being the best policy. That was the point of the thread, sprinkled with a bit of humour, not my wife being an evil grotbag (although she can have her moments).

I have a feeling she won't be so accommodating the day I turn up with a YG DD, BLRO or 2017 anniversary PP Aquanaut. Then the marbles will definitely get chopped off and fed to the neighbour's cat.

I wonder how I am going to react when she comes home with a Hermes Birkin bag in the near future.

It looks great on you. Good buy, and it's nice to have a supportive spouse. Beautiful watch, and one that has a hidden ability - the high level of resistance to magnetic fields since it contains the same faraday cage that the Milgauss has.

Congratulations

Congratulations!

I've been put on notice by my wife that my watch buying needs to seriously slow down (haven't yet let her know about the incoming I'm expecting next week...I may look to some of the OPs suggested explanations for this) - or i need to start spending equal or greater amounts on gifts for her

I think that many of us have similar stories. Our wives hide designer shoes and bags...

Wonder how it would have gone if you told her the choices you had in mind prior to going with the "tell the truth" route lol

Brave man!

However, as others have said.... you will PAY for it. You just don't know it yet ;-)

You just wait for the $6,000 Tiffany diamond necklace, or Hermes Birkin bag, or Giorgio Armani dress, or......

Hide the kitchen knives, retribution will happen when least expected. Hopefully, the pound of flesh will be well above the beltline. I really like the watch though, it's worth the risk,congrats.
