[Question] Do you lie to your significant other about your collection (alien.top)

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.

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.
