    strange...

    has your wife - significant other, ever told you NOT to sell a watch - my speedy is now taken off SC because my wife says it's 'too pretty' to sell. Anyone else had something similar happen?

    Yup:

    3 Ocean 7 LM1's, Bell & Ross Pilot, Omega Seamaster apnea, 2 Breitling B1's - although she was happy to see the back of my Ironman indiglo for some reason?

    I've wanted to sell my 16710 for ages but she won't allow me, although it's slightly different in this case as my wife wears it a lot.

    Yes, Mrs Bond just the other night stated that I was not allowed to sell the collection to buy a Rolex as I would get bored with it and regret it :?

    Mrs M's not stopped me from selling, but she has made it clear which is her "bestest favourite" and this is from a woman who thinks I have a watch fetish...

    "I prefer the blue one" she says (and it's grey :lol: )

    Mine doesn't want me to sell any, she really likes them all and often urges me to get another one :D
    oh and as for it being an illness I would have laughed at that comment a few months ago but crikey this really is an illness and I am afraid i have got it in a bad way, I am just pleased I am not alone :D

    She did tell me not to sell my last Darth Tuna, but I did, she was right, and I've replaced it with an identical one now. She thinks of the Tuna as my 'holiday watch' and associates it with happy memories, so I'll always be allowed to keep a Darth in the collection. Just have to stick an orange Rhino on it and it's a sign to the whole household that we're leaving soon for the airport 8)

    She did mumble something about 'addiction' when I was sorting out some straps last night.... hmm better rephrase that - I mean watch straps :? And of course I'm not allowed to sell HER watches..


    ..she always wears her favourite ti Tissot and the others live in a box somewhere
