urbanshogun Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 My mum has noticed my reps recently, and she has asked me to get her one. It has to be nice quality, and black dial she said. Any suggestions will be appreciated! thanks for reading guys...
plaifender Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 some more info.... Do you happen to have any ideas for her? Or you just want a random rep with black dial.. Price point? Style? Accuracy? Does she want a well known brand? Classic, or more modern design? If she doesn't care what it is. Go for a Rolex newer explorer. Look great on a woman's wrist in my opinion
andreww Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Get a Black Chanel J12 Quartz. My wife just loves it, and she was never a watch person.
ryaku Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Explorer is not a bad idea, the old 37mm version fits even better a slim wrist Else some Cartier or Chanelandreww which size would you suggest?
edgematic1 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 I would definately suggest a Quartz. Both my mom, sister and GF have a Quartz and automatic one. They just don't like it to set the time right of an auto movt. after not wearing it for a while. That's also the reason why there are so many quartz women's watches in the gen world
freddy333 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Without knowing her tastes in jewelry, I think the Chanel is the best/safest bet. Most women love them. Otherwise, a nice, understated ladies Rolex Datejust with stick markers should bring a smile to her face.
ispytonyv Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 +1,000,000 on QUARTZ... If you get an automatic (or God forbid a manual wind), she'll always be complaining about how the "battery" keeps dying. Also, avoid obscure brands (yes, Hubolt or Panerai etc. are well known around here but to your mom/girlfriend/wife they might as well be a Casio). Go with a "fashion" brand: LV, Chanel, Gucci, and the like, as most women know such brands.
urbanshogun Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Posted January 19, 2011 when I asked her what she wanted she said gucci or something. Her watch at the moment is a gold gucci bracelet type thing and various quartz fashion watches. I was thinking maybe a casablanca or a long island FM. Maybe an explorer I, but i think an auto movement might stop her from wearing it. I'm not sure if she would like the J12, she asked for a metal band
capice Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 depend on your mum's wrist and style.....I met a few ladies in Brussels on a GTG, wearing Pams and a Cartier Tank How about a ballon blue?
urbanshogun Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Posted January 19, 2011 OK I have it narrowed down to a rolex explorer and the cartier tank. I'll probably get her both to be on the safe side white tank and black explorer methinks.
DrRockso Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Tag F1 ceramic looks nice, I think WBK sells them.
Noel Fleischer Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Can't go wrong with the white Chanel J12 Quartz- 33mm or 38mm. Replicamake has them for $78. I bought 3 as gifts- the women love them and they're hassle free. I also like a plain Rolex DJ 36mm. Salmon or white dials are great for ladies.
