Ok I have to admint I have a few hidden watches that my wife does not know about and I am hoping I am not in this alone.
How many of you have some little gem of a watch hidden from your partner?
My wife does not know about my Deep Blue and a few others, makes it hard to wear at home so I save them for work....she just does not understand the NEED!!

My watches are locked up in my strongroom in aluminum cases.  I only ever have two in public view.  (cases).  I don't think my better half realises how many of these cases there actually are....subtlelaugh.gif
She often takes a glance at a watch I'm wearing with the remark "Is that a new watch?"  To which I normally respond: " Nooooo, have just not worn it in ages....."

Bless her soul.....smile4.gif

Whatever you hide, you'll get busted with the time: It's a law of nature.
Graham: I'm sure that you are allready busted but she's telling nothing

I bought myself a 500lbs fire-proof safe some years ago. Primarely because I needed something to protect my LP collection from fire. I would personnaly not go for an electronic safe: Who knows how it can fail you. Keys added to combination lock is a good choice when of good quality... It's stands there whatever.
Don't forget: A fire-proof safe like mine protect it's containt against 1000 grades C for one hour time. It's nice to got a safe against thieves but a house fire would cook down all your watches before the fire-men arrival, if your safe isn't fire-proof

I was expecting better from you lot and by better I mean worse, now I just feel like a bad husband who hides in a dark ally with his watches like Golum with the Ring.

I am a bad bad man.

Don't feel bad at all! Not everyone is married to the same woman.

I just never bring a box in to keep it from being an event. No dishonesty just no disclosure. It is just a watch to her. She has far more items I've never seen then I have. I just run out of money quicker.

I tried to sell the Seiko Premier Automatic but she stopped me on that one as thats the  "only one" she likes out of my collection.
