They are watching us....

At least my wife is.... Thought everything I said on TRF was way beyond my wife reading.... I was WRONG

Made a comment about wanting an affair with a DSSD: Busted.
Made a comment how my wife would NEVER buy me a Rolex due to my jealousy about some of the stories I've read about husbands being spoiled by their wives: Busted(even though I am telling the truth about that!!). "Quit talking sh*t about me on the forums!"

DAMN. Be careful fellas.

Any of your wives give you crap for obsessing over Rolex like me?! Please tell me I'm not alone.

Oh yeah, it's a constant point of contention. I always get the "Why do you need more watches????". Who said anything about need?

I just don't give my wife access to my computers and I am able to have some alone time for my hobbies.

Good luck!

my wife goes "see, it's like this, you have 2 wrist and a more than 10 watches so how in the world are you going to wear them?"

another one "with the Rolexes that you had and still have, we could have bought a house in the mountains to spend vacation."

and this is classic "so what is that new watch you are trying to hide from me with your sleeve cuffs?" and this is on a hot summer day and me sweating from the heat from the sun and the wife.

so yeah, i think they are onto us.

No wife, no problem

The real definition of W.I.S. = "wife is screaming"

My wife doesn't really mind. As long as the bills are paid and as long as she could buy whatever she wants. She just doesn't want me selling watches though, because that means I'll be crazy browsing the FS section every minute of the day.....

I know, I have a picture of my wife in my wallet. Every time I take out the wallet her eyes follow me everywhere I go.

Thank god I'm not the only one. She doesn't look at my entries but she does see the glow on my face from the Ipad at midnight. She jokingly calls me Gollum when I clean my watches "my precious"

Stay safe my friends.

Yes. I am in the same boat but receive admirable support. My wife understands my craving for watches! But how long? I am not sure!

Just ask her how many shoes or purses she has. That's what I do. Than the response is, "ya but at a fraction of the price," than I say, "true, but you only have two shoulders and over twenty purses." If that fails, than I go to plan B which is show her Rolexes price list over the last ten years. That usually does the job.

I bet she`s looking to see if there are women that you`re talking to,that`s the motive for the spying.

Could be! She knows a hottie who likes watches is a dangerous combo for me. hahaha

She gave me crap the other day when we went into an Omega boutique. The sales woman was GORGEOUS and she started chatting it up with me about watches. She knew I was impressed by this.... I keep telling her, "You should get into this hobby with me." However, I'm kinda glad she's not crazy like me about it.... Two people with Rolex addictions in the house would put us in the streets.

(If you're reading this honey, I'm sorry, but she was a hottie)......
