rodralph 0 Posted January 31, 2015 After a lot of crying, begging, pleading and tantrums, my beloved wife has given me authorization to get one (1) rep. (She just does not understand!!!) Actually, she is also a fan of watches and we’ve been talking about them for a long time. The Navitimer has always been my all-time favorite. Over the last few weeks I’ve been looking at the different TD and what they have to offer. I’ve contacted a few of them with positive results. I am hoping to get my first order in within the next few days. Let the fun games begin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dorian84 1 Posted January 31, 2015 My wife doesn't complicate, she just says: For every rep you buy, i'll buy a new purse or shoes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rodralph 0 Posted January 31, 2015 naidoo, Thank you for your advice. I've been seriously considering Toro. I think he will be the one I go with for my first purchase. Dorian, I think my wife is thinking more along the lines of "I want one too!" I do not have any issues with that either. Shoes, purses, watches, whatever makes her happy. As I heard someone say; "Happy wife, happy life." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyKrush 16 Posted January 31, 2015 Oh, and who was doing the crying and begging? Every time my wife cries and begs I not get another rep I tell her to sod off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodralph 0 Posted January 31, 2015 My wife was skeptical as well. It's all good. She was somewhat skeptical at first, but now has warmed up to the idea. Last week we met a few "brothers" for drinks and one of them was wearing a Navitimer-like watch he bought somewhere in Europe. She really liked it. I think that was the turning point. PS. I really like the pendant!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodralph 0 Posted January 31, 2015 What's your budget? Somewhere between 300-350 USD. Not too concerned about the cost. Don't want something too inexpensive that may run into issues later. Oh, and who was doing the crying and begging? Every time my wife cries and begs I not get another rep I tell her to sod off. I think I did most of the crying. But don't tell anyone.

naidoo 0 Posted January 31, 2015 if price is not an issue and your willing to wait (shouldnt be too long i hear) id say go for a TC submariner they are all hand built in the US and are the closest to gen and are long lasting and hold there value so if you want to trade up its an easy sell too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he does an incredible job with his watches. I own a gen SeaDweller and a gen Breitling SuperOcean which I bought in 2005. I absolutely love both of them. I am also looking at some of their reps. For the time being, I am looking at something other than a diver, so I am looking at the Navitimer. I know this will not be my only purchase, so a Submariner will always be an option. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You did not waste any time. Let me know how it goes. I want the black dial with bracelet. I will get the leather strap for it also to be able to change the look. I was at an AD last week and tried the Navitimer and the Navitimer World. The World is way too big for my wrist. In my humble opinion, the Navi is a beautiful time piece.

Pseudonym 0 Posted January 31, 2015 Good story. I empathise. For every reps I bought, my wife bought a new bag, or shoes... Or scarf (??) but sadly they are gen. My wife won't entertain it. As a result her rep I bought her has to go. Good luck in your search. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RUSH2112 11 Posted January 31, 2015 Why do you need to even ask, let alone beg, your wife if you can buy something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,607 Posted January 31, 2015 Rodralph, If you have to beg, plead, cry or all of the former...............your relationship is doomed my dear chap. This forum is so addictive that you'll find yourself in a predicament very quickly indeed. You're going to have to draw the (proverbial) line in the sand. And sooner the better.
