I feel your pain.

My advice, find out why she's not wearing it. If wearing a Rolex isn't for her (I know this is incomprehensible to us, but the fairer sex doesn't always see it that way), then sell it.

If there's something she would like better, then flip it.

I'm not into gold watches, but that piece is spectacular!

I'd wear it.

I vote that you keep it and wear it (if you like it of course.) It looks good on you.

That is got to be one of the nicest looking TT DJ model. The fixing with the Ivory dial and 18K Romans numerals along with the YG trimmings with the fluted YG bezel and middle YG link straps just does it for that ever longing ROLEX classic looks, are these even still available in current stock? Looks CUSTOM matched.
Easily in the top 10 maybe 5 when mixed and matched in house.

Wow!! What a finish above! Even with the baton markers it's so simplistic yet appealing over the others really!
You know it when it becomes just too much but this just nails it.
Congrats after 29 years mate!

Great watch; take her to a shrink and get her head examined!!! Wear it if you like it. Perhaps find out why she doesn't wear it and get her something she likes. Maybe she doesn't like men's watches.

That watch's nickname is 'American Psycho' how could you not love that! That was Christian Bale's watch in the black comedy of the same name, got massive air time. lol Chainsaws, Wall Street, chopped up blondes, hell of a movie! :)

this is one of the best reasons I have seen to get your partner/wife a Man's size watch.

Keep it

You can wear it and it is very comfortable watch I had one with the gold face like yours and I wore it for several years. I regret getting rid of to get my wife a mid yacht platinum and paid the difference of $2500
