That is exactly what I said to my wife. And if she asks me do you have a new watch? then I say no I already had it Edited April 16, 2018 by TAG Heuer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BabaNJ 38 Posted April 16, 2018 After years of playing warcraft/wow, then years of non stop drinking on my days off finally last few years she is most happy with my replacement hobby... Watches. When she asks where i am my kids say"playing with his watches". Although she does not know that mine and her paypal accounts have about $3800 balance all from watches/watch parts. She thinks i buy $50-100 watches from china lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyh7 236 Posted April 17, 2018 My wife regards it as a form of low level mental illness. I can also identify with many of the behaviours above, like lying about the prices, and the desperately anxious wait for the postman, hoping she's out when the package arrives. Also as has been noted once you reach critical mass a new addition can be easily passed of with a casual 'no I've had that one for ages'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's one positive for keeping my focus on Panerai for now. They all look alike to her. *<;o) She's actually enjoying my collection, and wants to buy me a new Seiko, because she likes the "Orange faced one". So, it looks like a new SRPC07 (Prospex Samurai!) for me soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
