Watch suggestions for my wife


Nitrousbird

Recommended Posts

V day is coming next month and I figured I would get her another watch.

 

My wife likes to wear different watches so she can't just have one or two. She is also VERY cheap (a trait that is both good and bad in a wife)...she is more than happy to wear an $8 watch, even when I bust her chops for how crappy it looks. I have purchased her a Guess watch she wanted and a Bulava (quartz) that she really loves, but I want to get her something decent and different.

 

Requirements:

- Under $200 online.

- She hates yellow gold jewelry. She doesn't mind a little gold inside the face. Loves silver, black, and white

- She is pretty small with very small wrists, but she doesn't mind a decent size watch

- Automatic or wind-up only

- Skeleton or semi-skeleton watch. I have a couple and she really likes the look of them

- Metal band

 

About the only watch I've found so far that I liked was the Invicta 1127.  She really hates the chains on the Invicta Russian Divers, so that's out.

My wife likes my sub so much she wants one of her own. The SSD was too big for her and heavy, but the 16610 is the right size. She dives too and it works that way. Women wearing submariners is definitely a thing now and I quite like it.

I started out buying Ms Nanuq a nice gold vintage piece.....

Then I went with a newer stainless waterproof automatic to match my Doxa.......

And now she wears a grotesque unique Fossil chrono with pink mother-of-pearl and bling.

If not yellow gold how about a rose gold rep mens datejust, might be a tad over $200 though.

 

OR for a vintage gen (not $200, but reasonable) I bought this Tudor and had a custom redial done for the wifey -all in, ~$550

To continue the discussion - also looking for another watch for th wife.  She got a rose gold Michael Kors one, but its a piece of cr*p.   - she wants a rose gold one, and is not a fan of big watches.  she already has a ladies datejust and the chanel j12.   thoughts?

 Boomer how about 18k plated gold w sterling silver under hand  wind vintage Cartier Tank.

Mike - thanks for the suggestion - Checked with the wife on that, and wasnt a big fan...  that said, she now says that she would be into a man's watch, but prob not any bigger than 42mm...  the Kors watch she got was around the same size as a mens datejust...
