How do I justify a Grand Seiko purchase to the wife?

"It's just a Seiko" 

Which model are you looking at? Let me know when you figure out justification that works... haha

Will report back from the couch tonight. Wish me luck, Gary

This is perfect 

"You paid HOW much for 'just a Seiko'?"

Discussing price is so tacky, let's just leave that out of the conversation ;-) 

This...

Oh...  wait.  You're married.  No justification.  

Your wife will simply point out...

Noted. THanks James👍

Laughing at work

Divorce.

Encourage her to make a high dollar purchase for herself and then use that as leverage.

"Ah, the kid will be a good welder. Community College is good enough." 😉

this is genius 😂

Will let you know how it goes

"I bought you a watch my love..."

Buy what you want.

I just used the welding reference because my son is taking a welding class, just because for the heck of it. 😜

Be a grown ass man. Spend your disposable income as you wish. Same for the wife. 

I encourage her - nay, I insist that she buys extravagant purses and jewelry, so that she can’t say anything when I purchase a watch. ;) She still hasn’t caught on. Wait…or maybe she has and she just doesn’t mind. Lol

Just do it the way that wives tend to do it when they buy something they want.  Tell her you ‘Saved money’ by buying it now before the next price increase.

Because you liked it and you had the money to spend. 

My latest Grand Seiko purchase lives at my office.  Gives me a reason to go to work. I wear something my wife has given me to work & put on my new GS. Wear the other watch home.  Someday I'll come clean...probably when I buy another watch to hide at work 

Yes! Push the Spring Drive. And tell her how this watch will be your legacy until you find another watch. She will forget about that explanation and you could use it again😂

"Of course it will increase in value!  So really we are MAKING money!" 🤑✔

Tell her at length, in a PowerPoint presentation, all about the high-beat or the spring drive of your watch. She will understand instantly.

You are welcome.

More expensive than an extravagant watch collection.

There is no way around it. I think just be honest about it. Tell her you love the watch. Good Luck! 

Personally if there's no financial issues and everything is taken care of I don't see why would she get upset. Just make sure when you buy expensive toys you also spoil the wife as well. 

Just be like Warren Buffet and name it "The Indefensible" like the private jet he purchased.

Possibly you will be like him and rename it "The Indispensable" after owning for some time.

Q.E.D.

No need for justification. it’s just a Seiko.
