Great amusing article & so accurate on the wife bit. The trouble is it gets very expensive when you have to also buy your wife a watch just to get the one you want.

The great thing about chrono trader/abay etc is you can buy without your wife around. I just have to try & sneak them into the house later without her knowing, but after years of being trained by her with her shoe purchases I am now a master at the "oh no thats not new I have had its ages, you have seen it before" etc.
