·Are you sure it wasn't because you weren't getting a watch for her too? 😁
Does anyone understand women?

·I was in the same sort of boat when I sold my Daytona. I’m on the doorstep of becoming an octagenarian. If my wife survives me and sets out to dispose of my watch collection in one swell foop, she might sell the whole collection of over 100 watches (Daytona included), for LESS that what I sold the Daytona for. And I made good money on the sale! And the guy I sold it to made good money on it, too!

·Trying to understand a Women is like asking "What color does the number 7 smell like?" and actually thinking about an answer to it.

·Sometimes i do, sometimes i don't.
I try not to tell her about watches though. Because i know for sure she will not understand.

·My wife was unhappy and concerned the first time I sold a watch. She made me go through "we need to talk". After reassuring her I was not in financial difficulty and that I was selling so that I could buy more she sort of got it.
In her mind she thought I was selling the "wedding jewellery", what I don't understand is how a few years later she has completely lost interest. I mention buying, selling or liking and all I get is hmmmm. Or how when I ask her opinion I'm told "no, don't buy that, the strap is ugly!"
"women, can't live with them, can't shoot them"

·Hang on a sec.. You're upset that she has an interest in watches and is pointing out that you're selling your best one?
I mean generally, I don't understand *people*, but I think a lot of people here would be stoked if their significant other was interested in the hobby.
If you can, buy the BB without selling the Daytona and see if that's more to her liking. If it is, don't let go of that one!

·Did you read the manual?
Here's one for you:
I came home today with just a few grocery items and decided I'd pick myself up a pack of store-brand cola's because she drinks diet and artificial sweeteners make me sick.
As I unpacked the items I went to put the pack of cola's in the fridge so that they would be nice and cold whenever I want one.
The fridge is rather sparsely filled because it's a standard size and there's just the two of us.
She was beyond adamant that I only put four cans in there. Wtf?!
"There's no room!" She said.
I looked in there, then turned and looked at her and without saying a word I gestured like a gameshow girl to the cavernous real estate inside the fridge.
Long story short: I put five in there just to piss her off a little.
Literally no logical argument can be made when they have it in their heads that they're right.
But we love them anyway

·Any lack of me understanding my wife pales in comparison to how much she feels she doesn’t understand me.
“Why would anyone want more than 1 watch?”
“Why pay more then $100 for a watch?”
“Why not get an Apple Watch, oh wait, you have a FitBit already, and you wear it every day, doesn’t it tell the time?...?”
“A Jeep with 707 hp? WTF?”
“Why are you taking pictures of your watch, AGAIN???”

··Melbourne AustraliaWomen 📖.
I've had three partners in my life.
The first started off nicely, was easy to live with "most of the time" but showed her true colours in the divorce.
The second started of very nicely, but in a very short time things changed when I realised I was "never right", "I don't like that!" etc, she was the queen of mood swings (bordering on unhinged) so I quit while I was still alive.
The last (and current) is intelligent, agreeable, personable and shares my interests even though they're not really her thing.
When I bought a new car (VW Golf R) without telling her anything about it, her comment when she arrived home and saw it was "that's nice, I like the colour, and the headlights look cool!".
I buy a new motor cycle and she usually likes the colour and never asks how much I paid for it.
However...............I have never sold a watch (well, not yet) so only time will tell.

·She once went makeup shopping and bought this cream for £50 a tube. She put it on, turned to me and said "This cream is great, once you've applied it, you can't see it." 👎 It reminded me of The Emperor's New Clothes.
Thanks for all your wise and knowledgable replies.

·You do you know. That’s what expensive watches are for men.
Yes they are just......jewellery........😕
Unless it's an Omega Speedmaster 🙄.... that is timing a booster rocket burn.... to the second... in order to avoid... your space capsule going off course... missing re-entry and dissappearing into the endless outer reaches of the cold, dark, empty, universe! 😲
Ya don't get that kinda service from 'fakkin'.... sparkly bangle!
