Markus Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I did a sneaky thing the other week and bought a Planet Ocean without telling the wife. The only problem I had was how to let her know I'd spent some money on another watch. By chance I uploaded Pugwash's pic of the black dial Planet Ocean and set it as my screensaver. So I set the PO pic as my screen saver and left it at that. As luck would have it the wife was on the computer tonight and saw the screensaver pic. She looked at it and said "Is that your watch?" "Yes it is!" I replied. I do have another Omega rep but it's a Speedmaster, she hasn't noticed the differance and I'm not about to tell her! Only problem I have now is I need to get rid of the Speedmaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMWrolex Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Just tell her its a $2 rep you bought from a street dealer in the city... she won't know the difference... Unless she thinks you were buying gens the whole time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 It'll end in tears.........trust me! JTB I'm pretty sure I've got away with it. She knows I have one Omega watch. All I need to do is get rid of the Speedmaster, then the trail of deceit is done with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I help someone defraud his missus! This made my day. I'm proud of you, dude. What size is your monitor and what Speedmaster is it? I'll do you a special screensaver pic.

Spatten1 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Too funny. I want to buy a PO right now too, and I'm scared to death of my wife. I'm trying to figure out whether to send it to work or just take it like a man. I'm not much of a liar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size is your monitor and what Speedmaster is it? I'll do you a special screensaver pic. It's a Speedmaster Broad Arrow, black dial. I'm not saying my missus is thick, she knew that I had an Omega. Just that I've managed to wing it and she hasn't noticed that the PO is a differant watch as regards the BA chrono. As far as she's bothered I've got a nice Omega and it's the same one that I've always had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to figure out whether to send it to work or just take it like a man. I'm not much of a liar. If you buy a 45mm PO, it'll man you up. You can then use your steely hunter/gatherer stare to put her back in her place. I am man, PO is mine, woman! ps. Don't try this when you're not wearing your PO as it'll get you put back in your place, hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKDICK Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Nah, you have to remember the usual spousal response when you get caught with a new one - "Is that another one? It looks just like all the others! " She'll never know the difference between a PO and a Speedy. The dial colour's the same isn't it? That's enough. Just don't wear both at once and make sure you say her hair looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 they always find out sooner or later How true,,,,,,,,,,,,,I usually just don't say anything. Then after a few drinks it's like.

hambone Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I have caught much hell from the little woman for my watch collecting. Went on a pam buying spree over the course of three months and it was no easy accomplishment. Still recovering. Honesty is always the best way...painful as it is, when a deceit is discovered, usually the [censored] hits the fan and testicles become a target for pointy boots.

TomBombadil Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Just buy her a purse/shoes or something else of equal value for each watch you buy. She will love for you to continue to buy as many watches as you like. That is the fair thing to do, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Category 5 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 No deceit in my house. My wife is as observant as I. I recently tried to sneak an HD-DVD player into our home theater system. It was the same color as our old DVD player which I hid. She came to me the next day and said "Did you know anything about there being an 'HD' DVD player where our old one used to be?" with a tapping foot. I laughed, told her I was amazed, and added in "that's why I married you...because you're the only woman that would pick up on that!" then I bought the Lake House on HD-DVD for her to watch. It's even harder to hide a new watch. She looks at my wrist whenever we go out to see which one I'm wearing, and she can tell on from the other from across the room.

Gavilan Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I got caught a little while ago with "Another" watch and how much was i spending on watches, but i had received our credit card statement the day before, and one of here Hair / Salon visits was on there! I just replied that "less than one of your trips to the hairdresser! and you do that every 4 weeks. It is amazing how much a color and a cut costs for women. She let it go at that :thumbsupsmileyanim: Finally a win for me. Only now ill get shot for telling everyone she colors here hair. :whistling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavor flav Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 my wife is actually pretty cool with it! after all....i used to collect sports cars and motorcycles.....now just watches. so it's not so bad. whenever i sell any of mine i be sure to show here i'm selling these to buy different ones. or trading them. it works!
