First at all, there is only a few days I purchased my Explorer, that could explain...
As my wife can see that I am crazy with the watch she asked to try it. No reason to say no. But after only 1 minute (that could be even less), I asked her to give it back. I felt very unconfortable and it was clear to me that I don't want to lend my watch.
And for you this is the same or it's just a question of time before I get used with my watch?

A.J.R. · 9 June 2012, 05:09 AM

If she takes it as her own, its a perfect excuse to buy another for yourself.

Bmonroy17 · 9 June 2012, 05:15 AM

She takes my sub usually on friday's, her work casual day... I dont care its only watch. Better than her asking me to buy a Micheal Korrs watch

She knows better than that now.

saying that she is the MASTER desk diver

oh well

ChrashM · 9 June 2012, 05:18 AM

My wife wears my Milgauss GV daily. I don't mind because now my Daytona is getting the wrist time it deserves. What bothers me, however, is the increased number of scratches on it. I had to remind her to be more carfeful.

FremStar · 9 June 2012, 05:19 AM

Damn! That's a crazy funny story

When it comes to my wife it's all fair game! Heck she even confiscated my GV and I had no say! After all it's just a watch!

Cuts33 · 9 June 2012, 05:20 AM

Simple.

What's mine is ours what's hers is hers.

It's a watch, breath and relax....

My wife wore my DJ for a bit but was too worried about scratching it and she thought it was too big and heavy. Ended up buying her a 31mm Tudor Prince Date that she considers the perfect watch.

So true with my GF!

VANCE723 · 9 June 2012, 05:26 AM

i offered to get a couple links taken outta my airking to fit my wife. she said she didnt like a watch to fit that tight.....
i was'nt going let her beat the crap outta. it now resides on a watch-winder

JohnBoy · 9 June 2012, 05:35 AM

Don't worry, its just a 'power' thing. So - show her your power - and - get yourself another one! You can't fault her taste in men and watches, right?

Actually, you should handle it very diplomatically...this could work out for the best!

TSW · 9 June 2012, 05:36 AM

She can borrow any of my Rolex watches but the AP's not a chance

Sean.c · 9 June 2012, 05:37 AM

My girlfriend goes near my watches she gets a back hander from me.... haha just kidding I would trust her to be careful with it :)

s4dan · 9 June 2012, 05:38 AM

Modern Rolex (if I had one) = Yes.

The Red sub my dad left me = Never.

ersnyder · 9 June 2012, 05:46 AM

So, did she finally give it back?

patrike · 9 June 2012, 05:50 AM

Im not that careful with my watches, sure why not I'd lend it out.

mannyv11 · 9 June 2012, 05:59 AM

After my 4 requests, yes she gave it back. But she was not happy, not at all. She threatened me to scratch the watch with her teath!

jerseyden · 9 June 2012, 06:06 AM

I wouldn't have a problem with it, but she doesn't really likethem.

QueueCumber · 9 June 2012, 06:07 AM

My wife has her own watches. No need for her to wear mine. Besides which, she doesn't respect her watches, so there is no way she is wearing any of mine! Thankfully she doesn't want to...

Same. My girlfriend doesn't have any particular interest in watches, although she admires them. Lucky me!

rad87gn · 9 June 2012, 06:36 AM

My wife and friends have borrowed my watches.

ocwatching · 9 June 2012, 06:38 AM

yup...except lately I haven't been able to get the daytona back..

bewithabob · 9 June 2012, 06:39 AM

My wife has own collection; she doesn't need mine, but she still wants a Daytona Panda….

bassplayrr · 9 June 2012, 06:40 AM

My wife often wears my watches. She looks better in them than I do!

Kingair · 9 June 2012, 06:40 AM

If she can . . . they are gone . . .

But I appreciate it . . . .

Makes it easier to get another one . . watch I mean ;-)

Exactly the same here! One thing I can attest Is that Cartier, Bedat and Ebel make very strong watches. She bangs thm, leaves the on a gym bag that gets tossed around, thrown on hard counters as if they were loose change. You name it, they take it! My watches, hell no!

Zed Homme · 9 June 2012, 06:41 AM

The worst is when they request that you resize the bracelet. Might as well kiss the watch goodbye for a few weeks. I don't mind though, I love seeing a woman I love wearing a nice watch.
