I think I just about get away with it with the g/f by buying her shoes every now and then!

Jimmy Choos, Alexander McQueen, Christian Louboutin, that kind of thing. It certainly buys me a little "watch buying latitude"! :lol:

And we're not married, so technically at least, my money is still my own!! (Or at least that's what I tell myself!! :roll: :wink: )

I manage OK as I buy & sell watches regularly. This means that the "collection" ebbs & flows. Sometimes I forget to sell them!

If I get caught then it's just a case of "...oh, didn't I mention that one. I thought you'de seen it...."

As doctor diesel says....his wife only has 10 pairs of shoes. Yeah - right!

Don't know how happy chapie gets away with it - by his own admission, he can't get 'em all out at once!

Just bought a B-1 this morning and it will get delivered on Wednesday - Mrs Breitling Bloke will have to be informed as she will be home to sign for it.......still working on the story for this one!

Whats hers is half mine, and whats mine is half hers. So every Breitling I buy is half hers. Shes a lady what lunches (housewife)....She cant pay, so she owes me half of two Breitlings. I wrote off that debt and put it toward my third Breitling.
We are all square now.

My wife limits me to one per year, and that takes a bit of talking.

She was quite suprised though when I told her how much Breitlings have went up recently. Especially since my Navi-World went up $735 in price from the retailer I purchased it from.

Unfortunately........

I have to buy lady Breitlings too :cry:

I even showed her the Navitimer Airborne that Antiquorum is auctioning next week to see what the reaction would be. Her question "for you or for me?"

I'm in serious trouble!

I found the best way to keep her from moaning too much was to buy her a pair of Lady Wings with MOP, gold, and diamonds. only trouble is she's seen the Starliner in the Chronolog so looks like more earache. She's got a strange idea that i should sell a couple of my precious Crosswinds and buy her a diamond covered lady watch with the beer tokens. :cry:

If my ex-wife learned of my new passion, her lawyer would be after me for more money.

My girlfriend thinks I am quite mad but our finances are separate. She is entitled to her opinion. :wink:

Many of you will know, if you want to loose a lot of wealth, just separate from your wife.

For that reason, for some time, you will see me hanging around the fringes, looking for good deals. :lol:

Fact is, there is nothing exciting to invest in, in NZ right now so I am enjoying investing a little in my own pleasure. 8)

I like a few others above, have been able to get my wife hooked on watches as well.

I have have also said many times to my wife, "this is the only jewelry I wear...you have plenty of expensive rings, bracelets, earings, etc." So it ends up being an equality thing for the most part...but now with my first Breitling coming in a few months, I am waiting for the "payback" jewelry piece to be requested...should be interesting!

OBTW, we have been married for nearly 20 years, and I have yet to have a serious problem regarding purchasing watches.

I hope I don't get my girlfriend hooked on watches, because while she loves mine, the only one she's ever shown any interest in owning herself is a white gold Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time! :shock: :shock: She's got expensive taste!
