Post by: WHEELQ on April 26, 2017, 10:30:38 PM: Mine won't. Probably because she accumulated numerous handbags that value comes close to that figure.

Title: Re: Will your spouse strangle you if you have spent more than RM 150k in watches?
Post by: WHEELQ on April 28, 2017, 12:03:44 PM: Frankly, i believe the sums rm150k or watever figure is relatively different to different family. If ur annual earning is few times above 150k, i don't think the wife will goes crazy mode. Conversely, if the family annual is much less than 150k, then i believe u probably didn't prioritize ur purchases very well. Unless all ur watches collection is for investment purposes. Which probably u won't be enjoying wearing it anyw coz u want to keep it in pristine state.

So, it is relative to the family incomes. The higher u go, the less chance of the missus to gets angry. Coz she'll be pampered enuf or rich enuf not to be bothered by our toys.

Try going step by step, bro. If she's not one whom was enthusiastic about watches, go with a watch of a smaller monetary price tag first e.g. start with RM3k, then to RM5k, then to RM8k and so on. Next thing you know, you're buying a RM40k watch and she won't even bat an eyelid cause it has become a norm on your watch purchases. Just make sure that you're using spare monies; the main bulk of your savings and for splurging on her must not be cut down from your watch money.

True, as some watches would be a good investment (not all watches)... and wearing it always would also be scary (dings, etc). You could have a normal watch as a daily wear and wear the luxury watch on special occasion... reducing the chance of damaging the luxury watch.

Title: Re: Will your spouse strangle you if you have spent more than RM 150k in watches?
Post by: tim.thavi on July 18, 2018, 11:46:54 AM: 150k as an amount is very relative, for some is high for some is low. This goes for the wife's view. Also depend on whether that 150k could have gone somewhere better.

To be fair, if you have 150k lying around doing nothing, sitting in deposit, actually buying some watches are not a bad move - enjoyment + return!

Anyway, as a family all decisions should be make together. If she is really unhappy, then just work it out.

Post by: diabloxster on December 25, 2018, 08:38:31 AM: Well the same logic applies to handbags, how on earth can you justify a 50k bag? I used to operate a apparel factory and I know how to put a bag together. A watch is much more complex and probably justifies the craftsmanship.
