What does your spouse or significant other think of your watch collection?

C and a half.

I always get the classic "it makes you happy... so that makes me happy" 😘 lol. She has bought me a couple as gifts too! She actually listens to what I like! 🥰

I'm single. 😎

We both collect 😅

I put C. But, my wife is kinda between B and C. She doesn't really care about watches. But, she did pick up two Moonswatches for me, when she was in Italy. So, semi supportive, she was cool with me buying a Tudor Pelagos for my wedding watch, and she wore her grandmother's Piaget during the ceremony.

Both collect, I actually wore her favourite watch yesterday (check my WRUW) spb147.

Twice as expensive & I can't lie about prices-It's not as fantastic as it sounds 🤣👍🏻

My wife is supportive of my idiosyncratic ideas which includes my unexplained fascination with mechanical watches, however she is a full decade younger than I am, a realist she sometimes debates how she will manage my quite large stash of watches should I pass before she? Obviously there are many sentimental timepieces that she must keep, others will be passed along to our daughters and a few to one son in law a few already promised to a dear nephew but with the exception of a few perpetual calendar watches that I will sell off when I can shake off my inertia, the majority will be small boat anchors in the future.

Is there an option for Affectionately Interested because they make me happy but also thinks they’re an expensive waste? 😂

... couldn't give a shit and wishes I'd shut the fuck up about it, she does smile with dead eyes and nod along though.

🤷🏻

My girlfriend thinks all my watches look the same but always takes a genuine interest and likes picking straps for my watches.

She is dead. I am a widower.

Well, she's not opposed but I wouldn't exactly call it tolerant, more like begrudgingly accepts. Although she did let me buy her a Vaer (which she stopped wearing) and then a Swatch (which she loves) so I'll take that and be content!

I'm divorced 3 kids in tow but my ex she is interested and intrigued by my watches and loves some and dislikes others but she is a good girl really and a good friend also .

Is there a combination option? My wife hovers between B and C and it depends on the watch

I’d say between B and C. She likes some more than others and adopted my Hammy Khaki Mechanical 38 after I never really got close to it. She keeps it set and wound and I ‘borrow’ it on occasion. She’s even tolerant of me spending so long as we got food and rent.

I put down B, but it would actually be between B and C. I bought her a Rolex Blue Oyster Perpetual a few weeks ago and her eyes lite up when the SA brought it out. She has told me recently (actually on several occasions) that I need to pump the brakes on my buying.🤷‍♂️

My girlfriend doesn't know how bad it is, but she is also an appreciator of vintage stuff, so I have received some compliments here and there. I hope she won't be bothered when she sees the mouldy cardboard box one day and discovers the drawer of doom.

She didn’t really care for watches until I bought her one (a little gold Omega from the 1930s). She wants a Nomos now and has started watching restoration videos lol

Showed my girlfriend and let her pick herself. C 😅

My wife leans mostly B but she does have a collection of her own she just does not seek to expand it.
