My wife thinks I'm nuts...

I was trying to decide which to wear, by staring at them both for a while, when she came around the corner:)

Does she tell you those watches look the same? Mine can’t tell the difference between most of my watches.

Did you remind her of outfit, shoe, and hair decisions she makes ?

Haha yeah. I went through my watches this past weekend with my wife. I wanted to get her honest opinion on a few as I was moving things around. She looked at them and said,”they all look pretty much exactly alike”!?!

My fiancé can’t tell any Rolex apart. A Patek, for whatever reason, is a different story - and she doesn’t even know the brand!

We were browsing through a catalog to see which watch she would want, and the only ones she was picking were Patek’s.....

I add new watches to the collection and she won’t notice unless I point that out. I guess that’s a good thing...

Good fun. I like the idea of slipping in a new watch and her not noticing because its basically the same.
