Worse ways to have a midlife crisis :)
Midlife crisis is hitting me in the watch face lately. Wife and daughter have zero interest in watches so here I am. Crisis started with a cheap HMT watch from eBay, then a spin of the dreaded “wheel” (you know what I mean) got me a crappy Jacques Monnat and then finally bought a black and gold Orient Kamasu as a low budget “real” watch. Slowly learning more and annoying my wife with poor color coordination of quick release watch bands. :)

Welcome Garlando
Enjoy the process of learning and collecting - it’s not a rush to a finish line (I doubt there is one). Have fun!
We all know the other alternative:
So I think your wife lucked out
I'd say that HMT is the realest watch. With what are these bands poorly coordinating?
Welcome aboard.

It really could have been worse.

exactly, that's what I keep telling my wife! It's not women or cars, just watches! And not even expensive ones! However, I'm a professional drummer and I have not told her how many drums I bought over the pandemic yet (too many)! Fortunately I can write those off as a business expense :)
Let us know what they say when you start ordering Ali Express
