dak244 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Alright Alright, before you even start on me, I know a rep for Valentines Day seems like a REALLY LAME gift. The thing is, my girlfriend knows all about rep's and she loves them. We aren't really into the whole "holiday gift" thing, so what I get her is not an issue. With that being said, does anyone have any good suggestions as to watches to get her? I have looked at the YM Rolesium, which I/she really like, but it seems a little flashy (anyone know from experience?). She loves the J12, but can't deal with the black and white bands. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreaciated...
Jetsons Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 For the ladies, the Tank Francaise is one gorgeous and sexy watch. Either the men's mid-size or full size would be my suggestion as the ladies' model is too small. They are a dime a dozen in Manhattan but damn, it looks good on them. On the other side of the spectrum, check out my avatar. The Daytona doesn't look to shabby on her.
supermanx Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 (Maybe she'll comment but)Wife loves her: Rolex datejust with diamonds, FM Crazy Hours (colorful dial), PP Twenty-4. Omega Nicole Kidman. I got her the LV Manhattan GM bag (she already knows) for v-day with matching purse from dave_nyc... She got the wallet the other day and loved it, purse shipped out today.
jfreeman420 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Every woman I have been serious with has a "platinum" Rolex pearlmaster. This is IMO the must have watch for any lady. It is simple, elegant and can be worn with a fancy dress or jeans. Women like versatility. My friends always joke when they see a lady with a Rolex they say "she must have dated Jody" LOL...............
dak244 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 All the suggestions have been great.. The one thing I forgot to mention is that she doesnt like all the diamonds and such on the womens watches.. so the more simple the mo' better
dak244 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 I like the Senna a lot, but 42mm x 12mm on a peitite girl? I dont think that would work..
Dario33 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 I like the Senna a lot, but 42mm x 12mm on a peitite girl? I dont think that would work.. There is a ladies version. 26mm x 7mm
Steve G Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 The chanel J12 is nice. wife and I saw it in person, the white ceramic looks very nice and classy on a female. It's got a very unique look.
dak244 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 You know, while we are on the topic, I was checking out the Ladies FM Curvex Conquistador and when comparing it to the gen, I noticed the rep doesnt have the circle around the lettering and dials, just before the digits. Is this because it was a different model or is it just a flaw in the rep?
wheaton26 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 in fact, i say without question a panerai 49. let's face it ... big watches are in and they look extra hot on women! get her a 49 and buy my blue oem alligator strap seen here. it retails for $250.00 ... i can even take a picture of the combo together with my wife's 49 if you'd like! all the best.
boomer775 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Rolex Datejust? I agree. Got my wife a ladies datejust and she absolutely loves it. It's a real classy simple but elegant watch. Also a big fan of the Omega Constellation, as someone else on this thread had mentioned as well. Can't go wrong with either.
Goochenbrau Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Women look good in Panerai. Dont go with the datejust. Maybe its because my mom wears a gen datejust, but they just seem like something an older woman would wear.
dak244 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 WOW! your right, but she would make a two-tone digital casio look good, so that isn't really fair. My gf tends to stear clear of gold, so the datejust and some of the rollies are a bit limiting..
mrnixon Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 If you want my personal view, I would use the budget to get her a genuine nice handbag, nice pen etc. For a budget of around 200-300 usd you can get something nice, not a fake. It is fun to have a rep watch as a beater which you dont have to be careful with, but I would never give my wife a fake watch. She does deserve better than that. Just my view, hope I didnt offent anyone.
Aidan Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Have you looked at the Louis Vuittons an Andrews and Josh's sites. I wouldn't buy a Loius Vuitton mens watch,obviuosly they are for French Gigolos with thin moutaches but they have some very pretty ones in womens styles. I got one for my wife at christmas and she loves it. Worth checking out.
KB Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Then again you might decide to get her a nice handbag Ken

takashi Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Another candidate worth considering is any Rolex with MOP dial ladies size.
jonas Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Or you can go for the Jaeger Le Coultre Reverso that I bought for my wife 3 weeks ago...just make sure you get a newer and more updated version than the one I got Her patience and understanding about me spending hours and hours on the forum dropped instantly for a moment there.
