My Wife Finally Gets It!

While I was not able to attend the New York Patek Philippe show last month, my wife framed my invitation which turned out great! Does she finally accept my obsession with watches?

If the invitation wasn't nice enough, your wife recognized the art (along with the significance of the event) and preserved it with a perfectly chosen frame. You're a lucky man!

My wife is basically the one forcing/pushing me to buy expensive watches, without her I would still have my sub C date and Omega 300M as a beater, only problem she uses my purchases as leverage for something for her, "you just bought a 30k watch and don't want to buy me a 5k bag?", wonder what it'll be when I get the Voutilainen....
