My (29M) grandfather left me a watch that is as old as me before he passed away. German made A Lange & Sohne. Not sure how much is it now because I have no intention of selling it but servicing it costs me $6000. My gf Ally (28F) is going to be bridesmaid for her sister's wedding. She told me it's going to be at this fancy high end place.
She knew I have this expensive watch because she was shocked when I told her it costs $6000 to service it. She couldn't understand how an old watch would cost $6000 (her own words). I told her that's the servicing cost, the watch itself would cost at least $10000 (I think. I am not a watch expert). She told me she wanted to borrow the watch for the wedding 2 weeks before the wedding. I said yes but I am worried she might mishandle the watch. She would say 'that old watch', 'how can an ugly watch costs $6000' or 'stupid luxury watch frenzy'.
Yesterday (3 days before the wedding) she came to take the watch. I told her I don't feel comfortable giving her the watch. We got into an argument. She said I care more about the watch than her. She said it's just a watch. I told precisely that how she refers to it as just a watch or that old watch that I don't feel comfortable giving her the watch. She left and told me don't bother calling her until I am willing to lend her the watch.
AITA
Edit
- It's around 38mm. So it's not too big. Apparently, that brand is one of the higher end luxury watch. She told me she wants to wear it to dress up for the occasion.
