You just run out of ways to hide your excessive Ebay purchases.  "Hey honey...what are those three packages in the mail?"  "Something else for the watch bench???"

Nicely wrap the watch stuff you buy as her birthday gift.  ?  lol.

Tell her the real value in your will. You won't be there to hear the swearing......

Or you could say, "Look Dear! The prices of watches have really gone up since Covid. My watches are now worth a whole lot more now. What a clever boy I am. " ?

I think Michael1962 is on the money and as Old Hippy says you wont be there anyway,  What could she do, Bury you , burn you  put you out for compost. You are safe from an ear bashing, on the other hand she might be rubbing her hands over your shrewd investment and thinking what she can invest the cash in, like a nice holiday a new wardrobe of clothes, Hmm    make sure she goes first.       ?

Years ago when I was married my wife asked me did I want to be buried or cremated. I told her I wanted to be stuffed and sat on my favourite bar stool in the corner of my favourite pub at the bar. That was in the days when I could drink a hell of a lot.

These days I'd sooner have a cup of tea.

    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  out of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years ago and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic. 
    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.
    • Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was. 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  It would be nice if you told us a little about yourself.
