You still bought her shoes AFTER the divorce??

Great timepiece too!
Every Rolex Has A Story. What’ s Yours? Part II
May, 1998 Laguna Beach, CA - Weekending in this quaint and sleepy beach town, I was out barhopping with a bunch of folks and ended up having dinner at this great Italian place with some friends and the [now ex] wife. There was a Rolex dealer right next do...
An good slice of laugh, my friend. And a superb morning read.
The very funny thing is that I am, right now, preparing something on the Rolex GMT Master, which " turns " arounfd one question: What is hidden behind a GMT Master. You answered in one word, Freedom, when I needed at least 3: Tool / Travel / Adventure. Po...
She's Not That Poor
Hi, Nicolas - Somehow she got the house and most of the money, so something tells me she ain't that poor! Funny thing is, my freedom's worth more than everything she took! Life is good. best to you my friend! - scotty
Brillant, just brilliant...
.... Love the story and love the twist with your ex-wife and shoes etc. My divorce only cost me two Omegas.. She never new how many watches I had and as I changed often, could I occasionally add a new watch without she noticed it My first Rolex was a 1675...
You must not live in California
Hans - Only two Omegas? I mean, the divorce cost you a total of two Omegas? Or you had to give the ex two Omegas and then some more stuff? If it only cost you two Omegas, either way you got off light! Sorry you had to give them up in the first place. I ma...
Two Omegas... And half of the rest...
Half of the house, that I had paid myself before we married and half the cash. What she didn't get was half of some shares that were not registered in our bank and my super retirement fund... But for sure it was expensive too get married, and to get rid o...
A fact...
Hey, Hans - You know why divorce is so expensive? Because it's worth every penny! - scott
Brilliant ! and so true ...
Thanks for putting words on what many of us share. I'm glad when I see someone that could find the watch that brings that much pleasure, the kind of watch that seems the owner will never get rid of. Concerning what you said about her wandering why you sho...
So true. So very true.
Hey, Mark - I will keep this one forever! Thanks so much. - scott

In California, the man pays for everything, forever
Under California family law, if the marriage is over 10 years, the ex-wife receives half of the marital assets (including payment for "her" half of any business he spent his life creating) at the time of the divorce,and must then pay spousal support (ofte...
I'm with you!
Park - You have my proxy! Let's all get on the "divorce is not fair to men in California" band wagon. Although, I know I'll never get married again 'cos I hate giving away all my stuff every eight-and-a-half years. - scott
She took all the money!
Hi, ik2000 - I didn't want to buy her shoes after the divorce, but I had to give her so much money that I enabled the purchase of even more shoes! Damn. - scott
I wish you'd asked for advice that night in . . .
. . . Laguna Beach, Scott. Instead of Luciano's in Dana Point, you should've taken her to . . . . . . The Quiet Woman in nearby Corona del Mar. Nudging an elbow in her side with a raised eyebrow and giving your best impression of Vito Corleone saying, "Se...
