Thought I would start it off. I know you guys are out there. I finally got the watch I've been waiting for. I told my wife I spent $300 on another watch and she went off. I can't even enjoy the watch now. I told her I have a few potential sales on the forum to make up for the funds. What makes it worse is that I just bought a gen Rolex Explorer II four months ago and told her it would be my last watch. My mistake there.

This hobby can be an addiction. Plain and simple, I love watches.

Figure this can be a place where we could share stories and gain support from our fellow members.

Might as well share a pic of the watch that got me in the dog house.
This was before I told her. Enjoying it while I grab some grub at Whataburger.

LOL. This is why I run the show at home. I'm the bread winner and provider so I do what I like with the money. I take care of the finances at home.

Its only $300.

I bet she buys heaps of shoes/jewelry/bags. Do you nag her about that?

I could buy a watch with every trip to the hairdresser she makes - seriously.

I have my watches mailed to my work. And pay only on my PayPal account that I had long before I knew her linked to a credit card I had again long before I knew her. And then I just make small payments on to the card over time. She never notices and is always asking "Is that a new watch?". I just reply "You always say that! I just changed the strap so it looks different."

Job done....

Keep buying similar looking watches. They never spot new ones....any questions just say you changed the dial.

Man, you promised and you did wrong, but .... Is that a 372?

You should be granted a reprieve! It looks awesome.

Now, go get your woman some flowers and invite her to a romantic wine & dine
- just the three of you: you, the wife and the 372.

The girls are on fora talking about how they buy new shoes and how dumb we are for not noticing...

Or, crazy idea I know, but agree a monthly budget that's yours, transfer to PP account when you get paid and then spend within your limits. I'd rather wait a month or two to save for a watch than have to conceal things from the wife or risk an argument over something so silly.

Alot of guys are fully whipped and on a leash. Seems not many of you wear the pants at all in your relationships. LOL

As long as your not impeding on providing for the family/kids why hide watch purchases? And how do you hide it when your collection just grows and grows.

I gotta say, it must have been nicer being a married man 40 years ago. Women wouldn't feel so entitled to be in control as they try to today. Don't get me wrong, the respect for the spouse remains the same but let's not forget who the head of the house is.

A woman will never be able to define what hobbies I can and can not do. Simple as that.
