How to hide your watch from your Wife!
Written by James Matthews
An interesting discussion is going on at the WatchUSeek Forum!
One user is having interesting problem..
My wife has made a deal with me that allows me to purchase a watch every two years, my last watch I purchased was only a few months ago. I have been wanting to buy Sinn U1, oh so bad . Good thing is that I control the finances, so as far as her finding out about the purchase I could keep that a secret, but here are the problems, since it is a Sinn, I would have to purchase it through an online AD, and when using a credit card they will ship to billing address, but even if I get it delivered to another address, how do I put it into my collection without her finding out since my collection, is pretty out in the open, and of course she would find out if I was wearing the watch in her presence. Sometimes I wish I was single, and didn’t have to worry about the significant other getting on my case about my watch obsession.
While one user made the suggestion:
I had a friend who told his wife he was going through a mid life crisis and needed to buy things in order to keep his mind off women. It worked for him but maybe your age would prevent this approach.
Another user concludes that the person must:
1. Re-negotiate your agreement.
2. Offer to sell of another watch or something your wife perceives as valuable in order to make an exception to your agreement.
3. Let your mistress hang onto the new watch so your wife doesn’t find it. This should be a last resort. If she get’s PO’d at you, she might “out” you to the wife and keep the watch. Double-whammy.
What would you do?
What if it was a Movado Watch?
