fe22ari 0 Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) How do you get your watches past the wife without her giving you the "What? Why have you bought ANOTHER watch? How many do you need?" etc etc. Edited June 29, 2011 by fe22ari Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick C 0 Posted June 29, 2011 Don't mention it. You get to a point where all of your watches will merge into one and won't look any different to her. Although my other half was in when I had some watches arrive from Robert and I was asked about them, this seemed to work: "I won them in a competition." 5 mins later she lost interest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted June 30, 2011 It's either a new watch or you take it in then ass tonight, honey. Win, win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dendo 93 Posted June 30, 2011 It's either a new watch or you take it in then ass tonight, honey. Win, win. Actually I claim it is a watch that was away being repaired so it is not a new watch but an old one fixed. Not sure if it works but it removes the interest factor.

onionbag 1 Posted June 30, 2011 I have a part-time job, (aside from my main job) the earnings from which I use to pay for 'stuff'...so she gets her holidays and nights-out, and I get my watches and other things like r/c helicopters. So in essence, I buy her approval..sad innit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjb 0 Posted June 30, 2011 My Mrs isn't into watches,so when I buy another 1 or 2,she doesn't notice usually. As she is the main earner in our family,I have to be 'secretive' Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AustinTech 0 Posted June 30, 2011 My wife hates it when I buy reps and bitches incessantly. But I don't mind cause she ends up liking the look of the watch and tells me to get the gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted June 30, 2011 you would be surprised how many men(for want of better description) are controlled by their woman! I can think of dozens of times selling cars when the guy would have a rush of bravery and buy one leave a deposit only to have to come back and ask for deposit back because his wife wouldn't let him have it. i can't ever remember returning a deposit but they used to ask!!

fe22ari 0 Posted June 30, 2011 The earache. It isn't going to stop me. It's just the earache. I'll tell her about the gym, the waxing and the frequent TKMaxx trips (not me, her) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takken 0 Posted June 30, 2011 My wi...ohhh I almost forgott, I'm not married - but I have lived 13 years with the same girl. Anyway, she would not dare to comment on what I buy for my own money. If she did, she would start a war she'll never win - Muhahahahahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
