Gasp. my wife has started Rolex spotting

Guys can't beleive it, my wife has very little interest in material things, we are opposite in that area, however she has started to Rolex spot, going to a staff meal yesterday, she commented the lady sat next to her had a two tone ladys Rolex. My jaw dropped in amazement, i asked her how did she know it was a Rolex. O, I casually checked out the dial, clasp etc. Then she went on to say, how it looked really nice on the ladies wrist.

To cap it all, she even admitted being able to tell the differences in my recent flipping episodes

Is this the beginning, what do I do

I think it might be time for Mrs. Baptistman to join TRF

Watch spotting is a sport my wife and I have enjoyed for a few years now.

Uh, oh. This is the thin edge of the wedge. Next she'll be reading your posts on TRF & taking you window shopping, dropping subtle hints...!

I can't say that I'm not surprised.
She must be nearly as good an expert as you.
