cdk847 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Ok, so I opened my big mouth and told my girlfriend she needs a new watch. I was fishing for Christmas gift ideas, and her current timepiece is a 5 year old $50 Guess. Could use an upgrade... Well, her response is that we should get matching watches... It's hard enough to find a decent ladies rep, let alone one that has a matching male counterpart. I would prefer quartz, at least for hers, for all of the reasons stated about ladies reps. Any advise on a good ladies rep that has a nice Mens counterpart?? I saw the "Couples Watches" on WatchEden, but most look like crap. Thanks so much....

jfreeman420 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 The Rolex Masterpiece is a very nice rep in both ladies and mens. Automatic however. The only other option I could think of is the tag link, or if you can convince her that larger watches are the trend for women these days (is is you know) get matching Daytonas, yachtmasters or anything else for that matter. Just buy two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just buy two. That was my first plan... But she is so small, that even my Datejust rep is wider than her wrist. I will look into the Tag Link. If I am not mistaken, the Masterpiece is the one in your Avatar & Signature?? I like that too, but might be too much for me to pull off.

PeteM Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I agree I would go with TAG link. Or Hublot Big Bang get her the 38mm and you can choose 41, 45, 48 depending on your wrist. Also there are a lot of variations in finishes to be the same but different if you know what I mean.... Also the good reps but can be pricey. Got good build, accurate, double AR etc Go look at Andrew or josh etc Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickHiC Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I had to ease my girl into the hobby and watches in general. First step was a Cartier santos 100 xl for me, tank francaise for her. That's something dainty that sort of got her into the idea of, I don't know, watches as couture I guess. Now she's very on-board and we're often both wearing Panerais, which I happen to find dead sexy on a lady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Since you already have a datejust get her a ladies one that matches yours. Doesn't help your quartz request however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 The Chanel J12 comes in quartz and has a nice larger black ceramic watch as well as a nice small ladies model in white. That's what my fiancee wants as well. That's what we get for wishing our girlfriends/wives were into watches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct and if you already have a Datejust, the womens version of that may not be a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clamul Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 My wife wants a Bell& Ross, now i have to look to find one for her, but 42mm is really big in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Does it have to match formally? Because I would say get a set of Franck Mullers... the women's reps are very good and the options for men are varied enough that you should be able to pick one you enjoy. I think it's silly to have matching watches but hey, what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Good luck on your search but do you really want to have matching watches? It sounds so .... I dont know but It sounds so "kreepy". No offense but I would feel really uncomfortable wearing matching watches with my significant other. I guess I just get this picture In my head of two people running around going " hey look at us, we have matching watches, are they not wonderful"? The horror of It all. Im sorry It's a personal thing, nothing against you of course. Like stated earlier " what do I know" Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingus2112 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 What about a pair of his and hers Omega Constellations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 The Omega's is a good idea. The connie reps are well made and you could always go with the double eagle for a bit of a larger watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdk847 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I agree that it is a bit "much" as far as ideas go. But when women think something is a good idea, they can be very persuasive. These are all good ideas. I'm going to look into all of them and see what I like best. Also, I might just buy a Ladies Datejust Rep - White Face on an Oyster Bracelet. Close enough to my EXP II. Just have to explain the concept of the self-winding watch. Who knows, maybe the whole thing will blow over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my mom a gen Rolex a few years ago. I set it and wound it before I gave it to her. SHe didn't wear it for a couple of days and called me to say it stopped working. That concept is not easy to explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 My wife wants a Bell& Ross, now i have to look to find one for her, but 42mm is really big in my opinion. Have a look for the BR-S models, I think they're 39mm? Some good suggestions in this thread though. If you (she... lol) want completely matching watches, you could get the large and the tiny size Yachtmasters, or there are ladies and mens sized Omega Aqua Terras? I've posted a thread somewhere reviewing the one I bought for my missus Email Mary at watchinternational with what you're looking for and she should be able to sort you out! I reckon you could get a ladies and mens Omega AT for under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were In your shoes(my feet would be killing me, I wear a size 14) I would feel the same way. Sometimes we do things we would normally not do.

nikki6 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 The Tag link is a great one, speak to Narikaa, he has some killer ladies Tags! The mens Tags are always a good deal, gotta love the Heuers!! Not sure on the J12 idea, I have the large black one and I'm not too keen on it, think I have worn it maybe twice in the year or so I've had it! Omega is another goody, like the Tags, can look great in both sizes!! Are you getting matching track suits and wooly jumpers too?!?
