Have you ever been duped by your spouse?

As we all know, Rolex released their 2020 models on September 1st in an attempt to separate us WIS from our hard earn cash that is safely tucked away for last minute watch emergencies. And like clockwork, they always find an unsuspecting victim and I end up taking a liking to the new Submariner. Well, apparently this did not go unnoticed by a keen eyed observer lurking in the background.
Unbeknown to me, collusion, conspiracy, and collaboration were running rampant behind my back.
Tuesday my wife was adamant about getting out of the house for some lunch and stopping by our AD to say thanks for sourcing her an Explorer for my recent retirement gift. I thought that's odd, but OK.
Hello, says the SA to my wife, both beaming with smiles as we walk in the door. We have something for you... Happy Birthday! Wow, just wow.

Lucky guy. I can't remember the last time my wife bought me a birthday present and we've been married 34 years.

Thanks all. I definitely married up, that's for sure. Even my own mother said if something goes wrong with us, it'll be my fault.

Coincidentally, I just bought my GMT (yesterday) from a dealer in Huntington Beach.
