For the longest time my wife didn't understand my obsession with Rolex. I gave her her first ss datejust recently for her 30th b-day and the second she saw that crown staring back at her from the 12 o clock, she was hooked!! I sucked her in and she now knows what a passion these watches become. Oh, and when I want a new one she will be understanding!

I'm very glad I found this forum in which people share the same passion!

I can't get it off her wrist long enough!

You'll need a big collection if she decides she wants to "share".

Oh oh! You are now in trouble! Your wife will now want you to buy her a new Rolex every year for her birthday!

You think that was the solution ???? I believe her "not understanding" was a pity but not as expensive

GoldenBear · 21 July 2009, 04:48 AM

That is the way I did it. Get her hooked.

Great way to include her in your hobby! Congrats!

I am lucky, my wife has no interest in watches!

She does have her vices though! :

: But it's important that she knows how you feel about watches, even better when they can understand why you need another!

x2! Same here. I offered to buy her a Rolex this past weekend and she said no, she already has a watch at home.
