Chaps

I have often moaned that all gold watches are loud and vulgar and the provence of a cad.

So what have I done, this week I will be popping up to London, with my wife, to buy her a solid gold ladies Datejust as a reward for putting up with me for 45 years. Even worse, it has a diamond dial, so I suppose I have really slid down the slippery slope.

I feels somewhat perplexed.

Regards

Men wearing gold and diamonds maybe.

Now a man covering his wife in gold and diamonds that's another story..

teqp · 21 February 2016, 01:21 AM

Everyone is allowed to change their opinion.

it sounds like you have changed for the good. I hope your wife enjoys her new watch and congrats on 45 years together!

Agree.

Big congrats on 45 years.

That's really special.

ltmgeller · 21 February 2016, 01:32 AM

Congrats on the 45. Great gift for the Mrs. You too will grow to love hold. I wasn't a fan at first. Now I'm slowly transitioning my collection to PM pieces.

subtona · 21 February 2016, 01:34 AM

Get some extra links so you can take it for a spin and post some wrist shots :)

Congrats to the wife, for the watch and helping an old dog learn a new trick.

AK797 · 21 February 2016, 01:43 AM

You were always protesting too much, Pimp-Mick-Daddy.

Congrats to your wife!

Lumberjact · 21 February 2016, 01:47 AM

Bravo on 45 years of marriage!

Congrats on 45 years, Mick!

HL65 · 21 February 2016, 01:52 AM

Perhaps I am a loud, vulgar cad...very well if you say so and I am quite good with that.

But congrats to your wife in advance - I am sure it will look very nice! Also congrats on 45 years!!

kilyung · 21 February 2016, 01:52 AM

Well done! Give gold a try... you'll quickly find you like it.

Iflylo · 21 February 2016, 01:56 AM

ChrisInCharlotte · 21 February 2016, 02:03 AM

That is a fantastic shade of blue on that dial!

GB-man · 21 February 2016, 03:01 AM

Great move and hug congrats to her!

RHIII · 21 February 2016, 03:13 AM

BIG Congrats on the 45!!!

Try on some gold references...I bet you might end up changing your mind!!!!

TK-710 · 21 February 2016, 03:55 AM

I don't see an ounce of hypocrisy in your purchase. My wife and I have completely different taste in jewelry and watches and it appears the same with you. Although I would never wear a watch with diamonds (I don't have any negative feelings toward those who do) I certainly hope to get one for my wife someday. I also hope to celebrate my 45 anniversary some day as well. A big congratulations to you on both accounts.

KenNethcole · 21 February 2016, 04:07 AM

Taste do change and evolve as we age. Nothing wrong with getting your wife the watch. Congrats on 45 years and many more to come.

locutus49 · 21 February 2016, 04:13 AM

Enormous congrats from another diamond-hating (for men) geezer.

nick c · 21 February 2016, 04:14 AM

Huge congrats on your 45 years

silverbullet818 · 21 February 2016, 04:16 AM

Oh cmon. Be a man. Tell the truth.

The watch is really yours. Stop hiding behind the Mrs.

Hey all kidding aside, congrats on 45 years and on the awesome gift for the Mrs!

Gold and diamonds on traditional women's watches is a different kettle of fish.

Rolex "ladies'" models are more-or-less miniature versions of the larger Oysters. I think Patek did a good job with gold and diamonds on the old "La Flamme" watch (quartz movement notwithstanding), which was unmistakably feminine at any scale.

Rebel · 21 February 2016, 04:41 AM

It's for a good cause!!!!

VinnieVegas · 21 February 2016, 04:44 AM

I thought you were going to say you bought a Michael Koors watch.

brandrea · 21 February 2016, 04:45 AM

Congrats to your wife and to you. 45 years is amazing

kunlun · 21 February 2016, 04:48 AM

Congrats!

Come on she must be a hero, 45 years, keep spending on her... don't be mean, what No Roses
