Nice article

I've always told every woman I get serious with that if she expects me to drop $10k on a ring, I want another Rolex.

My fiance' is giving me a new Speedmaster Pro as my wedding gift so you can say I'm over the moon about it.

All jokes aside I'm extremely blessed to be marrying her in 11 days and will rock the Speedy on my wrist for rest of my life.

I heart good writers.

My missus has given me a few Rolex, but the best present, other than our daughter, that she ever gave me was a Sig Sauer P-226.

Great article, my wife and I thought it made perfect sense. I jokingly asked for a Rolex and she obliged, partly because we just had a new son and the thought of passing it to him one day was amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Funny, years ago it was my wife who finally talked me into getting a Rolex. She probably regrets that now.....
Thanks for sharing.

Very good article. I'm still in a rather new relationship (one and a half years) so I may need to wait some time for that sort of gift. However, she's so amazing, I wouldn't put it past her!

My wife got me my IWC as an engagement/ wedding gift. It's a great present. And I agree that if a guy is dropping 10K, or much more, as a sign of the commitment a Rolex or other in return is appropriate.

Ditto all of the above, but I'm more of a Glock man myself!

I hope we're talking about the good old AK, not the newest crap.
