What watch was your partner wearing when you met?
I thought this could be an interesting thread....
I meet my now wife in 2005. I was wearing a Steel Cartier Basculante and she was wearing a Tag 2000 Two tone. Both watches have long been sold/traded. Have you ever dated a lady because of the watch she was wearing? |

Interesting, I have not dated anyone because of their watch, When I met my fiance in highshool, I probably was not wearing a watch, and if she was, I wasn't paying attention to it(I think I can say that now, lol) I can say she quickly took over a pulsar I had bought in 8th grade, it is solar powered and titanium, she still has it and man did I think I was cool when I went to school wearing that thing in middle school
I'm curious to see what others have to say |

Who knows?
 When I met Zemina for the very first time in Jan. 1970, she had on a micro mini-skirt (a big rage at the time).........with legs to die for!!  Who the hell was looking at her wrist?

I met my wife, Maria, in Spain in 2003, on the Camino de Santiago.
She was wearing a Calvin Klein sports watch but at home her everyday watch was a ladies 18K/SS Cartier Santos. I was wearing a Timex Expedition on that trip but at home, if I remember correctly, I had a couple of Rolexes, a 18K/SS DJ and a Sub Date.

15 years ago - She had a black Swatch. I would have been sporting Omega Seamaster Pro (pre-Bond) or Seamaster 120.
She pretty soon ended up getting a Zenith as a little pressie from moi. |

Who could remember so long ago- 1963, freshman in college. I agree with JJ- I wasn't looking at her wrist, but I do remeber the pink sweater. I don't believe she had a watch then- her first watch was a 14k Hamilton manual wind that I got her when we got engaged. She still has it. Wish she still had the pink sweater.

Me: SS Rolex Air-King. College graduation present. Alas, no longer with me (stolen).
She: Gucci TT (SS/YG) blue face. Still has it. It's being refurbished to be a gift for our niece's confirmation. Wife currently wears the Baume & Mercier (Xmas 2004 gift), but I'm pushing a Rolex. |

Hubby was wearing a Citizen that was essentially a copy of a Movado (museum dial, black leather strap).....so glad that's gone!!!!
Today he sports a Rolex Sub Date (like mine!) and also has an Omega Aqua Terra Chrono. |
