New watch on the way [No. 2 this year].
Can anyone point me to a post giving good reasons [lies] to tell my wife.
4th grandfather died last time.

It's really a $50 fake.

btw, you're off to a good start at a watch per month. What are you going to tell her in December?

Just don't mention it and if she notices tell her it wasn't that expensive :^)

One would assume you already used up your allotment of "I've had this for awhile; or I don't remember when I got this one."

After those two, I'm looking for advice myself.

Not recommended: our greatest fear is that when we die, our spouses sell our watches for what we told them they cost

It’s not actually spending money. It’s parking it somewhere safe in a luxury asset.

I’m usually giving excuses for wives to tell their husbands 😉

Tell her that this is the earlier one coming back from a service

Change wife at the same time as new watches arrives...

Alternatively, if/when she notices the new watch, be offended she has never noticed it despite you owning it for months... Then stop short any conversation, and leave the room!

More expensive option is to buy a gift the day the watch arrives to diverse her attention


Ps: Good luck and let us know if you make it alive

Don’t bother with excuses! Be more positive! Give them reasons! Excuses sound wimpy.

Look at it this way - it’s always easier to get forgiveness than permission.

Show her you signed up to this:

. Its $50 a month.

She will then rest assured each of the new arrivals is indeed a small dent in the budget

Show us the watch so we can cook up the appropriate lie.
If it’s a Timex, just take the beating dude.
If it’s a shiny thing from far away, we got you!

Tell her that you sold one to get the new watch 😉
