How do you explain?

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.

:thup: we are all idiots or kids in our wives eyes

Okay gonna wade in here, firstly if your a chap who doesn't wear jewellery then your watch is your bit of bling. Just be up front, watches like these don't drop in value too much if cared for. I have a collection built up over the years by some shrewd wheeling and dealing, I have never paid full whack. My wife understands my passion, but she knows that they are better investments than cars.

So enjoy your watch, tell her.

Cancel the order? Or tell her. Can't imagine there's an excuse she will buy!

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?

Daft price to pay for a watch imo! I have a £30 'Radio Controlled' one for reference time, though I have had a couple of high-value (for me) ones - including an Chronometer that was unreadable because of the colours!

Only suggestion would be a 'matching' one for her!
