It's his watch, he likes it. That is all.
Discussion
In Mrs C's magazine a while back a woman wrote into the What's it Worth? page saying she wanted to buy her husband a new watch but he thought his watch was perfectly acceptable. She didn't like it. It had been given to his father in 1929. She said it was gold, supplied a photo, the maker's name, the serial number of the watch and asked if it was worth anything.
The magazine responded by saying they, like the husband, liked the watch. They gave a bit of history of the watch, noted its Rolex-like appearance and said it might fetch £200 in an auction.
WRONG.
The correct answer is, "F
k off, it's his watch and he likes it, leave him and his watch alone."
"He thinks it's acceptable but I don't actually like it."
Jeez. Buy yourself a watch then, you interfering busybody.

PS My mate got a wife off Russianbrides - Be warned, they look shiny and exciting at first, but long term, you'll come to regret you wasted your money. Save a bit longer and get one from a more reputable, less flashy supplier.

It sounds to me like she wanted to flog it.westberks said:
