Nope, but she has a killer three watch collection. :-).

·

My wife has a 2 watch collection but she does borrow 1 of mine occasionally,she collects shoes and handbags which I don't borrow

·

I'm single so I just have to tell myself I need a watch or 10 😂

·

No thank goodness

·

Yes, but at a lower level. She has an insane costume jewelry collection. And some nice pieces as well.

·

Yes. Thank God.

I only started getting into watches in January of this year, but I already have five, they're all in the $100-$300 range so trying to keep my expenditures reasonable in this new hobby.

My wife, who only ever wears an Apple Watch, seems to really love my new watch hobby. 😮 She is frugal so obviously the watch budget is something I keep an eye on, but she bought me a beautiful box for Valentine's Day and she asked me every day which watch I'm wearing.

We are going on a trip to Italy in May and she said I should buy watch while I'm over there to commemorate it. ❤️👍

My wife is generally very supportive of my hobbies but this is to a level that I did not expect. So obviously they appeal to her.

My son, who just turned 21, has also shown an interest and I'm looking forward to buying him a nice watch to commemorate his college graduation next year. 🤞

She hates when I talk about watches. She sometimes wears a Hamilton I got her but only because it is purple!

looks like your better half does more than share the hobby , she’s killing it in her own rights ! salute !🫡 As for mine , she has started seeing the benefits of my addiction and the side benefits for her (i.e borrowing from a wider selection is fun ) 🤭 Not yet to the point of actively seeking out her grail and displaying addiction behaviour but enough that I started building her own collection just so she leaves mine alone from time to time .

Nope.

Nope. I get to enjoy watches all by myself. Totally okay with it 👌

·

No, but a few dates have appreciated my enthusiasm lol

Her: "How many watches do you need? You only have two wrists."

Me: "How many shoes to you need? You only have two feet..."

Her: "Nevermind. Carry on."

Not really - she appreciated the first 2-3 I bought her but has now defaulted to "just give something else I'd rather have" and/or "just give me the money then if you're keen to use it on me."

100% understandable tbh as there really is no strong reason to have more than 3 watches.

Pro tip though; his and hers pieces can be a "creative in;" it worked for me landing a mean Longines piece

You tried and that's better than most🍻 You are correct Sir in thinking that His & Her watches is a creative in💯

·

Why yes, my left hand is where I wear my watches

·

Not really but is happy to take watches to wear.

Nice watch sir. Fortunately wifey has her collection and I have mine. We do not share watches, especially since I've gifted her watches very specific to her wrist size and taste. We do own similar models but they look very different🤙🏻

That's so awesome. She finds value and enjoyment in her Timex, cool!

That’s a good way to look at it! Thank you!

·

No. She tells me that there is room for only 1 crazy person in our family.

·

My wife would kill to be able to wear my watches. However, she does enjoy the game and loves the addiction!

That looks great on her wrist💯 She can build her own collection of stunners. Maybe start her off with a Daytona Ghost on OysterFlex🔥👻

·

A big hell nah for sure! 👍

I use to refer to my other half as my one third. At the time she wasn't good at fractions. When asked why introduced her the way i did,i explained, its so when she's in front of the judge squawking about i want my on third, i could say i'm happy with that. One day i had to give her a lesson in fractions. I said if there is 30 thousand dollars in the bank, and you get your one third,that means i'm leaving with 20 grand. She said how about zero as a fraction. Now she good at fractions and hates me buying watches. Even though i'm close to three quarters done with the collection. Duane ....Black Diamond, WA. 98010
