dbrinch Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hey gang, I'm thinking of getting my wife a Yachtmaster, but she's not a fan of ladies watches with small cases. Just wondering if the mid size version will look good on a ladies' wrist? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utheman Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hey gang, I'm thinking of getting my wife a Yachtmaster, but she's not a fan of ladies watches with small cases. Just wondering if the mid size version will look good on a ladies' wrist? Thanks. I think so. You could even try the full size. My sister did it, and it looks great. ww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'd go with a full size 16622! Think it would look great on a ladies' wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 And then you could steal it when she's not wearing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrinch Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 LOL...I actually have a yachtmaster, but not with the Rolesium dial and she finds it too big for her wrist while a normal ladies watch with <30mm is too small. So I guess the midsize would be perfect! Also, how's the quality of the midsize YM reps? I know for the full size, BK is one of (if not) the best reps out there, but I don't think he has mid sizes. Any advise from owners??? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Unfortunately, I don't think the same level of attention has gone into the mid-size 168622 reps; the ones I've seen for the Rolesium have the usual problems- Dial and bezel are the incorrect color, bezel markers are the incorrect shape, YACHT-MASTER font is not red or bold enough... And then there's the SELs. This might be one where it's just best to get her the gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrinch Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yeah I was looking at the pictures from dealer sites and most of them are a bit off...thus for my hesitation... any recommendations for a good Rolex Mid size rep apart from YM?

amptor Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 The midsize is still a very masculine looking watch. I went to Rafael Jewelers and one of their personnel was wearing one. She was a decent looking lady, but the watch seemed to detract from her appearance. On the other hand, I met a lady advertising one of the California casinos.. thunder valley or something, been too long to remember.. and she was wearing an Explorer I. That watch actually looked decent on her and there are some very nice examples of that watch floating around the dealers on these boards. Personally I think there's more fashionable watch brands for women than Rolex though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She actually wants a Cartier Chrono Must 21, but can't find one in the trusted dealers websites. I just thought she should also have a Rolex since I have one...

Yeah I'd recommend looking at the Explorer I or maybe even a Milgauss. They make very good replicas of those and they aren't very expensive. I don't recall seeing the must 21 in chrono but I did a quick google search and it looks like a watch I saw people purchasing (non chrono, that is) over a year ago on these forums for their ladies. Maybe take a look at watcheden and see what they have too or even aoobuy those are good sites. I am unsure if either of those are on the trusted dealers list here though. watcheden is a trusted dealer on the other forum (which is down right now) at least. Cartier imho is a decent brand for women especially since they have their own product line of bracelets as well. Also Gucci might be ok too but I haven't looked into those as much. Of course the Gucci watches won't be as expensive in genuine issues though. Although I'm not a very big fan of lady size datejust, they seem to work fine for some women. I think Jessica Simpson bought her sister a men's size datejust when she purchased a watch for her a few years ago anyhow so I guess women wear either size they want these days.

ubiquitous Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Day-Dates pair quite nicely with the ladies as well... But I feel as though they look best in WG or platinum for this particular application... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel as though they look best in WG or platinum for this particular application... Well, afaik rolex doesn't make a daydate that isn't fine metal. I have a SS daydate and found that out later. Plus the SS it is made out of apparantly is low grade since it has this grey hue to it. I wouldn't recommend anyone buying the daydate model of watch unless the extra complication is a must and the watch as a whole is purely for novelty. A Datejust is more than sufficient. It will be difficult to find a true solid WG replica watch these days. Plus who wants WG jewelry anyway? It is rhodium plated and it tends to wear off and look ugly over time. Platinum is a better, but I would be willing to bet money that there is no such thing as a replica watch made from this metal as it is vastly expensive.

Perhaps I need to clarify; I was not speaking in context to reps... Hence my reference to WG or platinum only... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
