Very creative excuses. Luckily I'm not married yet so I don't have to answer to a Mrs. Does she give you creative excuses as well for her purses and shoes?
Yes

ps this method works with rifles as well.
Yes and it works with guns as well 馃榾

This happened yesterday...

Me: Hey honey, I went to the markets today, I got these watches...plus the one I'm wearing on my wrist!
(gets out bag with 1 men's watch and 5 ladies watches; cheap, and with ambition to...)
Her: (excited look) Oh cool! (Yes, luckily for me she's interested in them) Is one of those for me?
Me: Nope, I'm going to list them on eBay!
Her: ...you'd better buy me an Omega.

We have adopted the "don't ask, don't tell policy" in my house.
Saves a lot of angst.

I tell her that I quit smoking 38 years ago this month, and I have spent far less collecting watches in the 38 years than I would have spent on tobacco. How do I leave her tobacco smoke and pipe ashes in my will? Actually, I have never had to alibi when I buy a watch. She has her own excesses馃榾.

I doubt I would ever hear anything, because if she did then she would have have to explain the extra bedroom she has turned into a showroom for her 馃が purses and 馃が shoes.

I set goals with watches, so she knows which watch im after for a while.

But if a true bargain pops up from my local jeweler, I tell her, "I'd be losing money if I don't buy it. I'll sell it if I need to". Then I have another watch in my collection馃榾

I had a really great night at the casino! I am going to buy a watch instead of losing it back!

I don't - I just tell her I've bought some more stuff for the investment portfolio (which is technically true given the crazy price rises..)

I wasn't going to have to explain any new watches. But the way things are going my wife will be back home from visiting her overseas relatives before the #ST and 60th anniv watches arrive 馃槜
