Most of them developped a Watch culture and a Watch taste which is quite impressive, I must say....
You know, they say nothing, and one day, bang, they analyze a Watch in an excellent way, and you just realize that they got it all.
As for the Watch buddies, I think they have a lot of fun seeing their boyfriend / husband going back to childhood, with his " big children " friends.
They are surprised but they are pleased and amused, too.
At the end, they know it is much more than watches. They understand and sometimes share that.
I would even say that some of these wives became friend with her husbands' friends, too.
Very interesting and greatly written article, Ping... As always!
Best,
Nicolas.
