heheh thats funny story, i still live at home (im only 21) and have quite a large watch collection, about a month ago my dad came home with a longines presence and my mum got a bit angry, my dad was like i found this at a pawn shop for $150, which is good for a second hander, and as my dad was showing it off i was wearing my longines heritage conquest and he noticed the logo. He was like where did u get that from, i used the good old ive had this for ages! (like 8 months :P). lucky my dad didnt know how much there really worth!, i dont think they would like the idea of blowing 1800 on a watch yet alone the 4K i put out for my new Bond Coaxil SMP.:P

I guess I'm lucky, I don't seek permission to buy a watch and, when I do she doesn't care but a new purse seems to show up soon after.

My only hope is that when I die she doesn't sell them all for what I told her I paid for them!

you had better start using the old "remember what i paid for this? i was looking on some forums the other day and this thing as worth $x now! what a great investment!"

she'll love that you got such a good deal. you don't even have to do it for all of them. just a couple will make sure that she knows to check how much they've "appreciated!"

lol!

I guess that's the advantage of being unmarried, no one to say no when I buy watches, guns, car parts, etc. In fact I think a seamaster might be my next purchase, it is at least in the running.

Great stories guys... and all quite familiar The mistake I made was purchasing my wife a nice watch and now she notices whats on everyones wrist including mine.

All good until they find the forum where we spend waaay too much time!

Hah, aint that the truth!! My wife read a letter in a magazine about a woman who thought her husband was having an online affair so she snooped on his laptop and found he was a fountain pen fan and was spending time on pen forums. She dines out on that and me spending time on watch sites!!

i am planning my wedding right now, (well actually she is) so now my future wife is peny-pinching on everything, to get her dream wedding, so we have to cut back, but she made me a deal, i leave her alone with the plans of the wedding and she leaves me alone with my watch collection, and she knows that this year i wanted to add a Speedmaster or Planet Ocean, so I'm getting an Omega as a wedding gift, so I tested the waters last week and added a Tissot to my collection and she said "cool watch" so i guess i'm in the clear.........btw the wedding planners are my sisters so i know they will not go overboard on expenses
