Same advice as I would give to a man, wear whatever you like and to hell with what anyone else thinks.

The correct watch would be the one which you feel most comfortable with. Yes there are some fundamental guides to optimal watch sizes but I think that physical attributes aside, the choice of watches depends also on the attitude of the wearer. No I am not advocating the fashion sense of flava flav but wear what you like and wear it proudly. I tread softly along the fine line separating raving insanity and lucid moments of ingenuity. The issue is I've no idea which is which mostly.

Looks great and since black is less loved while they are for sale new, guess which will be most collectible in future.

And another celeb has passed away! 2016 has been terrible for celeb deaths, RIP George

You (the woman) are in the best position to answer your question. That is, you know best what you prefer. Some things to consider - If you tend to dress conservatively, you may find that a plain, vintage ladies watch works best. if you like to be fashionable, you may find that a larger, men's watch is more to your liking. When it comes to 'jewels' on rep watches, my advice is to steer clear. They never look real, regardless of the seller's hyperbole. Similarly, unless you absolutely must have gold, it is best to stick with stainless steel models. The reason is that the more features on a rep, the more likely they are to betray the watch as a rep. More & more people today are educating themselves to the telltale signs of reps. So, while a plain ladies Oyster Perpetual, Date or Datejust model may not broadcast the fact that you have are wearing a 'Rolex', it also tends to be very difficult to ID as a rep since the rep makers have pretty much gotten the basics down to a consistent science. Finally, to my eye, old money does not need to shout, so they tend to opt for more understated jewelry, while the nouveau riche, having grown up without money, tend to feel the need to broadcast their wealth with flashy jewelry.

Well this summer I bought a gen for my wife and a nice Rep for my mother both being 36mm... Let me show you please, gen is the Datejust Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Many of George Michael's songs are a part of the sound track of my life. "Careless Whipers", "Father Figure", "I Want Your Sex", "Faith", "Freedom", to name a few. He was not only a music icon, he was a trendsetter too. Nobody made a 5 o'clock stubble look as cool as he did. Wham! He'll be missed.

I was very much saddened to read of George Michael's death this morning.

Yes unfortunately still down and I got my new Hulk that I cannot show around [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Just another sh1tty 2016 thing to happen in 2016...

Birth is just a progression towards death. Ironically, we rejoice in birth but detest death. Never live your life as if death is still remote from you. In reality, it happens any time. So, be nice to yourself and the people around you. Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk

"Rolex is not really in the 'tool' watch biz anymore." For sure. Imho they made the change from 'tool watches' to 'cuff shooters' when they went to big dot markers and fatty lugs. Do not care much for their modern 'H. R. Giger' clasp either. Too many parts.

Perfect Mahogany box Steph. Like a gen.
