That is exactly what I did with my RG Connie. Ones like these , you can't just spring on them. You have to tell them how much it means to you and start hunting a month in advance. Then deny deciding what your going to do, appearing anxious/apprehensive about spending the money and when it come up for auction not own up until you got it in the mail. She won't want you to be miserable.

Or buy it and hide it until you flip something similar, then put the strap from the flipped watch on the new one. She won't know the difference. 馃槣

Oh, and there's always the purse/shoe distraction method.

That one works all the time. I attest to it. You have to play the meek kitten sometimes to get what you want.馃榿

Already started! I'd shown it to her a week or two ago, but didn't press it. I've sent her the link, said it went for a good price, and showed her another that I'm looking at.

First you will have to make her happy. After that, very likely you will be happy too, when you can bag your dream watch.

The recipe comes from my friend and the credit should go to him and not me, unfortunately. Whatever, it is easier to abide to the 'Ten Commandments', rather than the ingredients in the recipe.

If one can religiously follow the chores in the recipe, more than likely he will not able to find the time to read this forum, much less hunting for a good vintage-watch.

Thank-you.

Appreciated.

Not too much of this for the moment. In case my wife reads it, I will be in big trouble. I will then have to become Man Friday. Currently I am quite happy because my wife cannot tell the difference between a Citizen quartz moon-phase watch and a Patek Philippe Philippe moon-phase perpetual calendar.

Thank-you.
