I’m finding it harder and harder to tell my wife that I’m buying a new watch. After about 4 watches, she can’t understand why I would buy more. I’m curious as to smartest or most interesting way that someone has used to get around this issue.

    Yes. Exactly. I’m not lying to my wife nor am I spending money out of budget. (Despite what 95% of the comments are about. Haha) It’s more-so my reasoning or just convincing here it’s actually a fun hobby to have.

    Yes, you’re right, I should’ve changed my wording but too late now I guess.

    I can’t find how to change text of the post either. I’ve changed it before. But when I check here, there’s no option for me to do anything.

      Gotcha. Just try to figure out a good way to explain why you like the ones you do outside of fashion considerations.

      For me, it’s a mix of because-i-like-shiny-things, historical souvenirs, and appreciation of watchmaking. I like my dressy watches but i like the Soviet engineering of my Vostoks and having a watch or two from a country that no longer exists.
