$1200.00 goes a lot further in the Ukraine than US or Western Europe.

Get the kitchen done first, maybe save over a few months for the Rolex dial. That way your not leaving yourself short.

Let your Wife know you agree the kitchen is your number one importance. You would like to hold off on updating your watch and the kitchen.

IMHO... I would save more money towards the kitchen project and shoot for a Spring install. Do the kitchen up really nice for her. Then... Get her buy in on you getting the dial or new watch you want next.

If you wife 'forces' you to improve kitchen first - there's no discussion. I hope she didn't read this post on TRF!

Thank you all for responding. It was really important for me and I decided to spend money for the kitchen this month.

Sure. But I hope I will have enough money to buy it next month. As you see my wife has influence on me so here we are. Moreover this "new kitchen" looks amazing and it seems to me the best option for now. Next month I will try to buy rolex after all. I didn't understand what pictures you meant so I leave a link to kitchen design. Murdoch Troon - handmade painted kitchens. Rolex pict I will share a little bit later :D

Good choice, I would have voted 100% kitchen too. I don't think 1200 will go that far though... That's like a counter or the floor, maybe both if they are small, and that is doing most of the work yourself.

Last two bathrooms and 1200 maybe covered material costs for vanity, toilet, marble floor, and the hardware. Was looking at kitchen it was like 1500 for counter if I took out old one, 1000 for marble floor, and I was just going to stain and add new hardware to cabinets and not touch any appliances.

Patience...and an understanding wife regarding the mess you make of her kitchen during the process.
If you’re in Southern California, I can refer you to all of the best tool and supply spots.
