Wife: Why do you have 3 identical watches?

Me: Are you mad woman? These watches are vastly different.

LOL - look, the straps are different!

 

I've had this conversation over two PAM 127s...

Oh, and I had two blue Breit SOHs for a while too.

 

She's used to it now and just shakes her head - mine you, she's got about 12 watches herself...

LOL - nah. Actually, she bought me the 40-capacity watchbox that got me in this mess in the first place (had to fill it!).

My wife was cleaning one of her closets as we put up Christmas decorations this past weekend. She had her boots lined up (boots, not shoes) and she had 22 pairs of boots.

 

My obsession can't compare to hers.

They always win that race with either shoes, handbags or jewellery of the function-less variety....;)

And....she walks into the kitchen as I'm photographing watches.

 

Wife: why are you always taking pictures of watches?

 

Me: Its just a thing I do.

 

Wife: *looks at me as if I'm a bug* Have you found me a gold Rolex with the diamond things on it yet? And I want quartz, none of that winding thing.

 

Me: *whimpers*

That's how my missus ended up with a ladies' Patek Nautilus rep in rose gold. Yes, quartz. :D

4 quartz Chanels and a quartz RG Omega. About 10 varied DW quartz cause she doesn't want to change the natos.

Nice work on the Rolexes!

 

And my wife is the same with autos...... "What do you mean it'll stop if I don't wear it for 2 days? That's no use."!
