My wife, although a great fan of Rolex would not be able to wear my watches due to the difference of our wrists.
Even if an adjustment was to be made to one of mine, she would always want to wear hers.

Unless it is white gold or platinum, borderline microscopic and diamond encrusted, she has zero interest. My collection is safe, however my wallet is not!

Nope, mine thinks they are not feminine enough and she's not really into any watches except for the Cartier Roadster...I've tried to change her mind, but no dice

My wife used to wear my DJ but she finally decided it was too heavy and I'm glad cause she beat the hell out of it in no time at all.

My wife has no real interest in watches. She's happy using her cell phone to check the time and date. This is something I am quite happy about.

If only I could convince her not to intrude upon my wine collection.

My wife has worn my ToG. I have two bands for the ToG and have to change them out when she's in the mood to wear it. It looks great on her by the way.

She's wearing my 44mm Panerai now. I'm planning to let her wear my 16233 TT blue dial with diamonds. I find it too small already after been wearing up to 47mm. I just love to have a Rolex on my wrist and my latest acquisition is a Milgauss GV. She loves it too but not this time.

My wife is very petite so like JJ it wouldn't be possible. If it were since she has put up with me for 43 years she could have her choice of my watches.

I've offered to buy her a TT datejust but she's just not interested. One of these days I'll surprise her. She'll be mad for maybe 15 minutes - I hope.

I just gave my fiance' a mens DJ, looks awesome on her little wrist. I'm waiting for her to ask about making the PAM and/or LV fit her when she wants to as well.

I figure the more fun we can both have with it the more watches we can buy as a family...I took this approach with toys in the garage and it's working well there too.

Nope. The wife wears a ladies watch. I've given her two vintage Bulovas and a TT Datejust for a wedding present recently.

I don't wear my husband's Sub. It looks way too big on me. I am perfectly happy with my Yachtmaster.

EN OH...NO!

Seriously, she would not want a big old clunky hoola hoop on her wrist.

Her ring size is 3.25. Cannot even imagine her wrist size...
