My wife hates you guys

[drfcfighter]

but I like you guys! :lol:

I've been here for about a month just around the time my daughter was born and my wife thinks I spend too much time here and the timing couldn't be any worse.... :lol:

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE MY DAUGHTER TO INFINITY and I'm just trying to make sure that SHE gets the best of the rep world AND gen world when the time comes... daddy has to do her research... for her... that is...

My purchases so far: Sub and PO of course, Rollie Exp, and Cartier Tank.

Future purchases: Breitling Navi, Speedy Moon, Omega BA white, Rollie SD, and about 9 PAMS... don't know where to start! Davidsen's new 111 or 177, then chronos, etc.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[higgy]

Sounds like you got your hands full...... :wink: Hope the "research " goes well!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Higgy 8)

everyone needs a hobbie

for some of us watches are it.

if she starts getting out of hand tell her she is never allowed to buy a purse or pair of shoes again.

then sit back and relax :roll:

 

[drfcfighter]

Good point Novesh, and yep, I've already used that one... with no success,
:lol:

I'm trying to convince her that this is better than same obsession over gens only... about 20x cheaper, :lol:

what do you mean no success?

what does she do when you buy/want to buy a rep? flip out? tell you no?

do the same. hahah I know it doesn't work that way all the time, but I am sure if you do it enough u can get the point across.

 

[horologie_unitas]

for every 5 watches you buy...just get her a nice rep handbag....Gucci, Vuitton...etc...and she will encourage you to do more research and buy more watches....hehe

i know, i also spend to much time in here...but....better then wasting 80 bucks in a sportsbar ...
best wishes for you and youf family

 

[drfcfighter]

Thanks much! Good to know I'm not alone, lol. :lol:

 

[crick]

you put your panerai on and give her a backhand!!!

HAH... i told that to my longtime g/f (she's practicallky my wife)... "dont make me backhand you with my panerai hand!"

that didnt go well... so i advise you not to do it. was funny at first until she gives you that evil eye.

simply let her know its a new thing - a nubile experience and infatuation that you are CERTAINLY sure will grow boring and old later on. i mean c'mon! they're just watches right? who can be so infatuated with watches and hang around a forum for, i dunno? some absurd amount of posts? like ... 800? that'd be crazy! say it like that

(little does she know! )

Spent two hundred at a bar on Thursday night. Damn could have given her one bill and me the other. I am going to try the handbag theory. I hope that you are right. Cheers.

To paraphrase my old lady........

"Ah yes, it is 20x cheaper, but don't forget that by going with quantity over quality, you are just showing off and showing off things that you truly can't afford. Therefore, you become a misrepresentation, a fraud, just like the watch. You engage in illegal activity and befriend criminals. And if you truly didn't care about showing off a fraudulent product, why would you care so much about the perfection of the brand names and trademarks on the watches? Why couldn't you just be happy with these watches without the names on the dials? I mean, if they are such great timepieces? By engaging in this hobby, you express nothing but a character flaw."

This is what I have to deal with every time I get caught on this forum.

LOL Great subject line drfc - my wife feels the EXACT same way. I must hear once a day:

"What can you possibly talk about on that webpage all day?"

"You spend way too much time reading about watches."

"How many watches can you possibly own?!?"

"You dont talk to me when you have that watch page open"

and the dreaded line I love to hear, but she complains about.....

"There is ANOTHER package here for you!!!"

Of course, its a watch thing - she just doesnt understand.

I hear ya my friend, I am in the same boat!

 

[acidzerocool]

haha what I always say is that I will be in my study polishing and modding my watches. She gives the old roll the eyes and then all is good. To be honest i thinkshe is understanding of my hobby.

 

[Anubis]

Well, you could always say the it's either watches or porn! :twisted: and porn is free. So you're obviously making an effort. That should go over well.

My wife actually gave me this lovely gem...crazy wonderful woman

Happy New Year!

My Wife hates this place as well. You are not alone. Pugs said it best "this is our only accessory that gives us some individuality" most of us don't do purses, high heels, dresses or jewelry so this is it.
