What have you bought your wife/girlfriend?

[copperjohn]

I just bought my wife a Tag Links that I have hidden until we pick up a tree to put it under.

I noticed on a previous thread someone was talking about how their wife wanted an Alpha similar to one he had just bought.

My question is, what have you bought for your wife? Let me rephrase a little bit... What watch have you ever bought your wife. Did she like it?

We were in a Tourneau shop, and I offered to buy my wife a Rolex. She not only said no about 5 times, but she wouldn't even try it on. She said I could have whatever I wanted but she didn't want one and walked out. I think she was only freaked out at the cost. I also know her well enough that saying "you can have whatever you want" is the same as her saying "you are the strongest, best looking, smartest, nicest, most powerful man I have ever known!" Although, that may be true...

I'll take your input too, amanda..

Bought my wife a Sinn this spring and she likes it very much. Her first auto, but as I've noted before the idea that it needs to be worn is not always adhered to, so often I am asked to reset it.



She told me this morning that she had a "moment" one morning this week when she put the watch on, checked the time, and at around 6 in the morning or so the watch appeared to read 11:30 or there abouts. Panic!

She said she thought "But I've worn it so it shouldn't have stopped! It must be broken!"

Then she realized she had the watch on upside-down.

Thats fantastic avalon, great story

I'm the only watch fan in my house. As much as I'd love for my other half to have an awesome watch, I'm kinda thinking that it would get dropped on the floor, thrown face down on the bathroom sink, dropped in dog goop (Veterinarian) and even would end up lost.. this is the treatment the Citizen currently gets. I'm too scared to witness such use of a fine timepiece, the stress would be more than I could bare.

G shock maybe??? no no that wont work, has to have a bracelet so the dog/cat goop can be washed off!!!

I've tried and tried to convince my wife how cool a fine watch is....She's not convinced. She'd rather have clothes and shoes

Anyhow, I did get her an Invicta and also a Seiko 5. We're finding out that she's not too compatible with auto's.

I bounght my wife a Rolex DateJust Two-Tone and she loves it - but she has now kid knapped my Breitling Super Ocean Heritage - she finds the black dial easier to read and since being on holiday and on return she hasn't taken it off since - this is the 38mm version on heritage bracelet. But I bought the SOH for myself so that doesn't count

Here is the pic of the DateJust:

Bravo!!! My wife will be jelaous if see that!!! I love that luminous DJ. Cool!!!

[copperjohn]

The date just is what I wanted her to try on. Maybe next time.... We'll see how she does with the Tag

Bought my wife an Omega Constellation Mini about 6 years ago. She love it!



Bought her a DateJust a year or so ago. Bizarre as it sounds, she was allergic to the higher nickel content found in Rolex stainless steel so I had to sell it. She ended up with some nice diamond earrings instead.


This Christmas, it's another Louis Vuitton purse.
