    I was being really slow then. First, I dismissed the pinky colour strap as being iffy white balance in the photo, then I noted your surprisingly ladylike forearms. Finally the penny dropped....

    I know I had long sleeves on when we met, but I don't know whether to be flattered or very worried that you thought those might be my arms :D

    Not the first time a WIS has had a watch commandeered by their better half. :p

    Windy has taken a shining to one of my JLC's. :eek:

    Me too! My wife took to wearing my completely original big triangle Seamaster 300 (even has the original crystal) so I had to buy her her very own 300 before it became marked. Is nothing sacred!

    I hope I don't have to join the club. My wife look at all my modern and vintage Omegas and said to me: " Buy me a Rolex Lady Datejust and I will not bother you with your watches"

    That, my friend, is soliciting a bribe - and also a fine idea! :p

    Windy just saw me shooting this dial....

    .... and said "Ooooo, is that mine?" :eek: "No!" couldn't come quicker out of my mouth.

    She's busting my stones. I'm taking her to the casino today so she can donate some money to the one arm bandits.

    I have a really nice 1950 Hamilton Lambert. I put a reddish-maroon strap on it thinking that it looked neat. Don't wear it much, have a hard tome matching it to a belt and shoes.

    My wife doesn't have watch envy so I'm safe. She could care less. I would like to get her a decent watch, but she wouldn't appreciate it.
