My wife is too hard on watches for her to enjoy them.

In the '80s I bought her a vintage Rolex, circa 1950. After she broke the crystal twice she decided she wouldn't wear it anymore so I sold it.
A few months ago she saw this Rolex Precision at an auction where she works, tried it on and liked it. I saw this as a perfect opportunity. I was the high bidder and when they handed me the watch, I put it on my wife's wrist while she was working, with the audience watching (and applauding). She's only worn it once since then and I had to pretty much beg her to wear it. I've worn it more than she has.

She was the first one to buy expensive watches and influenced me. We have some watches meant for sharing (Cartier Santos, Panerai Luminor, Tag Carrera, Seiko Starlight). She asks for a watch budget very year. She wants a Patek.
The first expensive watch I ever bought was for my wife

I didnโt used to be into watches at all however she returned the compliment 2 years later with a complimenting DJ. After that I took off 39 bought and sold with 9 long term keepers in the collection. I persuaded her to flip her first 26mm DJ and trade up ...
