How do you explain?

I've enjoyed playing golf with you over the years and I wish you the best of luck in playing off the red tees when she takes the appropriate action assuming you tell her!
 
Tell her that your the man of the house, it's who who wears the trousers, and therefore you will spend the money on what ever you want and she needs to keep her nose out of what you do :thup:

Have you got a will?
 
Buy her the ladies version too. Problem solved.

Show us a pic though Murph. I love watches........ If it is a Superocean then I am going to be green with envy...
 
Just have the conversation

" one of the lads in work is stuck for dosh for crimbo , he is selling this new watch he bought for 3k for only £750.. so as its nearly Christmas i was thinking you might like to go halves with me on my present this year" ..

new watch she is proud for you to have and £375 notes off her for the privelage ,,....RESULT :thup:

Superocean heritage in black, with steel mesh strap.

It's on order, as I found it a bit cheaper on the web.

Now this is good stuff!
 
you don't seriously have to hide what you as a man have bought for yourself?:mmm:

It's a funny world - all those posters who have cardiac arrests at the thought of an opponent gaining 2mm by replacing the ball wrongly are very creative at finding ways to fib to the other half! :whistle:
 
Off subject a little but I have been making a collection of watches over a number of years from the attached manufacturer. He only sells on the net so overheads are low but all his watches are designed in Britain and made in Switzerland. They are superb quality and great prices:

who earned the money? you or her? if you did, spend it how you want! as long as its not something like the holiday fund you took it from etc!
 
I've just ordered a new watch from the net.

It's not hideously expensive, but low/mid 4 figures ish . It's a bit bling, so she is going to notice. It's very shiny too.

I can't just keep it in the car, so sooner or later she will notice it. (heck, even if blind, she'd trip over it).

Explanations?

Say you won it in a bet?
 
discussing/sharing it with swmbo is one thing blade and correct IMO, hiding it like you're 12 is another:rolleyes:

We do have our own accounts, along with the joint ones, so it's not like I'm robbing her or anything. She won't go potty, she'll just think I'm an idiot, but then she has probably worked that out after 23 years.
