Jkay Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Chanel J12 ceramic, or Rolex Datejust with silver dial and roman numerals or perhaps glacier blue dial .... if she is afraid of the new Large Watch trend for women and needs a teeny tiny "ladies watch" If she is keen on the men's size watch for ladies trend that's popular now then the sky's the limit. Simple PAMs, SOSF Breitling in white dial .. Frank Muller rectangular watches... Cartier Pasha and Ballon Bleu models .. In my personal experience stay away from the beautiful but very poorly executed Cartier La Dona models, as the two I've seen were cheaply designed and plated brass, not SS. There are many duplicate threads on this subject .. do a quick search here and you'll see many many suggestions.

jmb Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 My wife quite likes her Ladies Datejust with silver dial and stick markers - very simple and understated but looks classy without being too "in your face". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Mrs. Ubi currently loves her ceramic Chanel J12. She's been through a few... 1st J12; a 38mm quartz: However, that one met it's demise before long (she's really, really tough on her watches)... So, she's now on her second; this time the smaller 33mm model, which she loves: She also has a Ladies' DJ, which I am using as a work-in-progress project build. So far, only fitted with a gen crown (but more to come): In the past, she's had a 40mm PAM49: And a Patek Twenty-4: And she's also borrowed a few from me every now and then as well: But her all time fave is easily the J12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Damn... Ubi won the contest! SO amazing ladies' pieces. I wish my wife was more into watches. I'd buy her a gen two-tone Constellation which is my favorite ladies' watch. She once posed for the DD that I reviewed. The blue dial wasn't very accurate to the gen (surprise, surprise) but the watch itself was very nice. DD is a looker and a great choice for ladies. She still wears this rep that I once bought for her (from Narikaa). 4 years and going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Can't go wrong with a well planned Ladies Rolex, or a ceramic J12, however the newest Tag Ladies are phenominal. My wife loves hers. See a pic/mini review here. Quartz is probably not such a bad thing for the ladies. Especially a starter watch to test the waters. Resetting the time/date on an auto causes lack of interest/wear at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opti Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) In the same boat myself and P4GTR and Ubi have sold me on the Tag and Chanel J12 Edited March 1, 2010 by opti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 The only issue with the rolex DD/presidential is as far as I am aware it only comes in solid gold or solid platinum. If you can't pull off a $35,000 USD watch in real life, none of your wife's co-workers are going to believe it's a gen. it's just a huge flag if your GF/Wife cares about being called out.

Ahhh, but a vintage 18k 1803 DD can be had for around $8500 in white or yellow gold (rose gold pushes it up to a few thousand more) So, not too far of a stretch as long as it's vintage...

opti Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Rolex is not an option for my wife: 1. She doesn't like them and 2. how many 26 years olds own a rolex? it just wouldnt look right on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opti Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Wow Ubi, rolex at 26? I think I'm in the wrong line of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Well, I think I paid $3200 for a pre-owned 16610 at that age. It was either the watch, or a set of HRE wheels for the car. I felt that the watch would hold it's value better, so I went that route instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
