Ok so I'm tying the knot and the WTB (wife-to-be) gets the ring. So she wants me to get a ring; I don't like jewelry.

Most couples fight over $$ so we figured we would have a joint account and credit card for joint expenses and then our own accounts. Pay the bills and the rest is yours to blow how you want (well she said sans hookers and blow but what she don't know won't come up in the divorce).

So I'm thinking if this is one of those things "I haft ta do" to keep the $$ even then I will get a cheap ring and a nice watch for when I put my court suit on (dress up).

Her ring was $20K so I get the same budget. I'd like to blow that $$ on some thing else but figured a good watch would be worth what I paid for it or maybe even more if I ever have to sport the court suit against her one day.

So- what would you get? I'm sure there are better out there but Rolex is world renowned for pimpin so that's what I want.

I like the screen in the 1st pic with some bling like the number place holders in the 2nd pic and get a cheap ring like in pic 3.

ps- some how I think WTB as in wife-to-be is not as exciting as WTB as in wanted to buy. Think "WTB: 30 Skater w/300XS's" Now that makes me get a stiffy!

I think you take the opportunity to be smart. Buy a basic band and never take it off. I HATED jewelry, but got the band. She even kept saying she knew it was a waste of money and it wouldn't get worn past the ceremony. I got used to it and it's never come off. And, she never wears hers.

If you spend $20K on a watch, everyone will assume it's a fake.

Opportunity to be smart? I do that often...

Phone company work= too much stuff to get it caught on or complete a circuit with my finger being the fuse

45.8% disagree (divorce rate in US for 2008)

Hope for the best; plan for the worst. I'll be 38 in 2010- if we D it up I'd be too old to start over with nothing.

It was 51 for me, started over with...errr... not as much

I noticed in your posts that the term "We" or "Us" doesn't come up a lot.

Going to be 41/42 for me depending how long it takes to find the end. Started out at 18 with no $$$ no credit. Starting over with neg cash and bad credit.

Judge ordered her to pay the mortgage since she wanted to live in the house. It has taken me 7 months to get a hearing for contempt from her not paying. Judge said in hearing it has already ruined my credit, "that's water under the bridge". Go ahead and sell the house but in the mean time she gets to live in it for free.

**Buoy** · 05-02-2009 01:19 PM

Sounds like a waste of 20K to me.

Exactly what I was gonna say.

Then just be fishy when she asks about costs, and let her think it was about the same.

Then spend 15K on beer & gas this summer!

Watch, Rado is what we have

http://www.rado.com/en/Watches/Anatom/Pages/Anatom.aspx.

Smaller and more stylish than a Rolex, and an outstanding watch.

Buy the Skater, paint the rings on the side and call it something like, "Our Eternal Blessing". Just convince her it means a lot more to show everyone on the water how much she is appreciated, how lucky you are to have her, and how you want the world to know.....

I mean, after all look what you gave up...

Fly to vegas and find a $20,000.00 watch in a pawn shop and pick it up for 10K and put the other 10K in an 'INVESTMENT' mason jar.

Have the watch appraised for it's true value of $20,000.00 and schedule it on your Homeowner's policy.

IF and WHEN you 'LOSE' (all risk coverage) the watch the company will replace the watch or give you the money it would take to replace the watch.......aprox 15K. Put the 15K in the 'INVESTMENT' mason jar with the original 10K.

Notice how your original $20,000 has increased to 25K .

Buy the fake watch in New York for $12.50 because you are an irresponsible fool who has already shown that he cannot hold on to anything that valuable.

IF and WHEN you find the original watch ........take it to a pawn shop in Vegas and pawn it for $10,000.00. Invest that 10K in your 'INVESTMENT' mason jar and if you let it sit for a day or ten.....you will see that your 'INVESTMENT' has grown to $35,000.00 minus the $12.50 for the New York watch that you have on your wrist.

Find a nice repo boat valued around $60,000.00 and purchase it from the bank using the $35K found in your 'INVESTMENT' mason jar.

When tooling down the water in your $60,000.00 boat......throw your New York watch on the seat for everyone to see. Point out that it has an electronic movement (tic, tic, tic....) rather than a sweep movement (which all big dollar watches have). Admit it is a $12.50 fake watch and explain how you are an irresponsible nit wit who cannot take care of expensive jewelry.

Everyone will talk about what an honest person you are and how intelligent you are to be able to afford a $60,000.00 boat and own it outright!!!

Enjoy the ride!!!!
