aseangm Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 My GF likes my reps and already took possession of my IWC Portofino Chrono on a brown leather strap and my brand new (I haven't even had the chance to wear it!!) Rolex Green ceramic Sub 116610 V3 on SS bracelet. Both of these beauties are great timekeepers and very stylish although she doesn't quite understand how they really work and she has a distinct dislike for winding them up and adjusting the time before wearing (and doesn't understand the issues relating to adjusting between 11pm 6am and 24 hour time checking) but I'd like to get her another and wondered what other recommendations you guys thought, but perhaps in the quartz category. She isn't familiar with most watch brands (she knows Rolex, and knows I have a few others, but never heard of most of them). I have looked at Cartier, other Rolex, Breitling and Patek..... with no real idea what to get. I would welcome all [kind] comments on watches you guys know that are good looking (and accurate) reps, good timekeeping qualities, and appeal to ladies about 25 yo. Preference is white gold, silver and I suppose titanium - no rose or yellow gold, and she is not into tiny dial faces - the two above are 40mm approx. Let me have it guys.... and have a great weekend ahead - big thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Brutally copied from a post I did yesterday on the other RWG for a similar question Budget?

Over 1000$http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22_359&products_id=6104 I'd stat a bit far from ceramic: women are not as carefully as us and ceramic is delicate...

Remember to make the watch waterproofed and also remember that with daybyday use SS is better than gold plated ones as the gold layer may fade away in 1 year of even less.
