Wife's Rule Broken
I figured out how to get around my wife's no more Rolex policy. Buy her a Rolex!!! My wife bought me a DJ for our wedding. So, we are now approaching our first anniversary and I have bought her the same watch in the ladies version. She it!!! It is a white MOP dial with diamond markers. I am sorry for the bad pics but here they are. (I am no Jocke)

Good tactics Tim.

That "No more Rolex" rule is history.

A very nice looking pair of Datejusts also.

That's a very nice looking pair of DJ.
Seriously, do you find a man wearing a diamond MOP watch strange? Do you get attention?

Not at all. First of all, most people never notice any of the watches that I wear. As far as my DJ, I think it is a very classic dress watch and I wear it most weekdays because I am in a job were I have to wear a suit most days. I think the pics make it look more "flashy" than it really is.

Thanks everyone! She has been teasing me about always looking at my wrist since I started wearing Rolex watches. Now, she is looking at her wrist every other min. I think i might have gotten her hooked!

I took my wife shopping twice for a watch. Both times she picked that exact watch. Guess I will have to buy it now. I took her thinking YM but she does not like it. She has a TT DJ with jubilee , champagne dial and diamond markers but... the only way I am going to get a new one is for her to catch up. I have two but she only has one.
