I was going to comment, but then I read the two pages of replies...I think the point has been made.

Agree with those who have suggested that you buy yourself (or her for a wedding day present) a Rolex in addition. I did the same thing many years ago, that's when the madness began...

My advice is you are marrying her what do you really think she would like.

Don't give her what you want. Give her what you think she would like.

If you really don't know ask her (find out from her).

Don't wast you money buying her things she will not appreciate the value of.

Hate to say it, but it is amazing to see where people's heads are some times.

Priceless.

Oh, and ring.

AF_Rob · 14 January 2015, 05:16 AM

Had a similar discussion with my gf if things go that far. She's not a diamond girl... I would say negative unless you know for sure.

Chadridv · 14 January 2015, 06:32 AM

What's crazy is to buy your GF something that will be worth half of what you pay the day after you give it to her! BUT, we've all done it, and unless you know for sure, stick with the ring. Best of luck to you!

997.2 · 14 January 2015, 06:36 AM

NO!!!! Bad idea

Rags · 14 January 2015, 06:44 AM

You better buy her the ring. That's all I'm going to say on this..

GB-man · 14 January 2015, 07:17 AM

This was easily the funniest thing I have read on trf to date.

Good thing you asked. Next time you are going to do something in the relationship that seems questionable, ask us again

I have learned that if I think something is a good idea when it comes to relationships, I should do the complete opposite. I call it the George Costanza philosophy.

Both, Yes. Ring for her, watch for you?

Racerdj · 14 January 2015, 07:54 AM

I'll advise you to do the diamond ring! In the future you will be glad you did.

This is so true!

Anniversary? Great Idea. Proposal? Not such a great idea.

Bad idea.

Don't play with fire.

T01 · 14 January 2015, 08:19 AM

I'd stick with a ring.

Watch Professor · 14 January 2015, 08:20 AM

Do yourself a favor and take a long break from this forum. You need some perspective.

I'm almost in tears.

Grams family ring is probably a beauty and that sounds like a great plan but I'm not sure if you have grasped the relationship between a bride to be and HER engagement ring?

Priceless thread BTW.

6234 with a diamond bezel.
or buy the 6250 and keep it for when she dumps you for not getting her a ring!

elkaholic · 14 January 2015, 08:56 AM

Congrats on the engagement! Get her the Rolex as a wedding gift, that's what I did.

domrusso10 · 14 January 2015, 09:33 AM

Nice idea, but you'll be in trouble lol

I wouldn't, but I slipped a gift to my wife on the actual wedding day just before the ceremony, a rolex would would be quite the surprise I would imagine!
