Like a lot of you I am very meticulous with my watches .Not that I dont wear them but I do kinda baby them a bit. Dont get me wrong my wife is awesome . but when she wears a watch she wacks the thing all over the place. She has her own rolex but she just discovered she likes wearing a bigger watch and they do look great on her wrist . She got a big scratch on the bezel of my Daytona at breakfast this morning . She said she was sorry and I know she didnt mean to do it but .......I got use to my 10 month old sucking on my watches when I hold him so will I get use to her wearing them and getting some battle scars on them . I mean watches are suppose to be worn right? So what would you do ?

My gf would never even think to go near the watches

Sometimes my brother wears my watches on special occasions

RolexPete32 · 29 November 2009, 05:19 AM

My wife is not a fan of Rolex. I mean really!!! I offered to buy her one last Christmas and she turned in down so I have to wear my two all by myself.

brkanand · 29 November 2009, 05:20 AM

No. Not yet. But now she looks at and studies watches worn by other men. I do not know where this leads to in the next one or two years! Eventually she may buy a Rolex for herself.

That's understandable (granted, he has a WIS mentality

)

Buddy ,I can tell ya where it leads to !

esm · 29 November 2009, 05:23 AM

my wife doesnt wear my watches - rolex or not.

I dont mind her wearing them if she wants to.

she has her watches and she is too worried that she may put battle scares on my watches. So it is all good with me.

JBat · 29 November 2009, 05:23 AM

My wife isn't much of a watch person (even though she's getting a Rolex in March and doesn't know it...hehehe), and my watches would be way too big for her. So, no, she doesn't wear mine.

Salmosalar · 29 November 2009, 05:26 AM

She is petite and her wrists are quite a bit smaller than mine, won't fit.

So I bought her a CITIZEN watch charm bracelet and she loves it.

She approves of my watch purchases as long as I don't go overboard.

But she loves earrings and necklaces. OUCH!

Damage Inc. · 29 November 2009, 05:28 AM

My wife has a Tag she wears daily (got it for her for our 5th anniversary), and will have a vintage Omega Seamaster De Ville (~1962) that I've re-built for her as soon as I get a crown for it.
I've been working the idea of a vintage (birthyear) Date or DateJust for her...we'll see how that goes.
She will however need to learn to be a bit more careful...

CBNDC · 29 November 2009, 05:28 AM

My wife has taken to wearing my black Explorer II (I haven't worn it in over 6 months) and it looks great. I must say she doesn't take very good care of it. If I did take it back, I'd have to take it to my AD for a good polishing!

Collection
SS White Daytona

John, my wife wasn't into watches until I bought her SS date just with romans, now I catch her wiping it off and putting it on the watch winder. Makes me laugh.

dukester · 29 November 2009, 05:35 AM

Wifee and I share all the time.....makes our collection even more enjoyable. Ofcourse, there are some of her watches that I would never even dare to wear.

That's what I'm afraid of, Scott. I may be creating some kind of she-WIS.

That is great you share them . That is what I want too as I dont mind them being worn but I just want some TLC when wearing them.

Oh, I don't have to be worried about that

. She is more careful when wearing my watches, she knows how particular I am and how "careless" scratches would drive me absolutely nuts!

That would not happen on my end for a couple of reasons:

My wife likes small watches (I mean small as in the "pre-huge" era). She wears them as jewelry; not beacons of horological enlightenment.
My wife and I respect our personal belongings. She knows how anal I am about scratch avoidance and wouldn't take the chance.

lek0708 · 29 November 2009, 06:36 AM

I wouldn't have let my ex g/f wear my watch. :(. Sorry! If you wouldve seen the progressive deterioration of her car over a year, you'd understand why.

Let the ex b/f try it on, for about 4 seconds. Then I had to take it back.

I'd really like to share a collection with someone someday lol, but I think it'd have to be pretty serious.

etownrolex · 29 November 2009, 06:37 AM

i got my wife one before i bought mine,

erling · 29 November 2009, 06:40 AM

Oh, yes. When my wife loves to wear my Sub.

ducatidoc · 29 November 2009, 06:40 AM

Can't speak for the rest of ya', but in my case...NFW ! I'd have to be out of my mind !

I sheepishly admit I had to read that twice.

BASSETHOUNDS · 29 November 2009, 07:27 AM

My wife is not a Rolex fan , I gave her my late mothers SS DJ and never wears it . I offered to buy her a no date sub , and when she tried it on did like it . She has a YG AP royal oak , rose gold Patek "24" and Technomarine .
No joke , the only Rolex for her would be the Leopard .
