...a more expensive watch. I wanted an SMP, but she liked the GMT's looks better and didn't find an SMPC too bad either.

I got what I wanted, but now (oops!) she has an SMP, too. :-)

Bad thing is: I know now that she considers owning a quality watch A Good Thing(tm), but somehow I feel that she'll find it very hard to tolerate a whole collection of them.

I use the following tactics now to let her get used to the idea:

• When we go shopping, I stop at every jeweller's window to look at the Omegas, the Rolexes and the various Glashütte brands. (Shouldn't she be happy that I'm none of those guys who dig Breitling?)
  
• I let her know that I go window shopping on my own occasionally when I have some spare time.
  
• Watch spotting on TV, in movies and in magazines
  

The result: She was thinking about getting me one of those glossy "watch-books". I said: "That's fine for me, as long as you can stand the consequences"

Now, I'm not so sure if I'm going to get that book. ;-)
