Ham 'n' Pickle Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Guys, I am looking for a new watch for my wife, she isn't particularly 'into' watches and the main reason for getting her one is her last
Victoria Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 H&P, your narrowed down choices (or rather, your good lady wife's) make suggesting a watch, a titch difficult. Have a peak at this reply I gave Zaino Detail. It has a lot of links of previous "I need a watch suggestion for a my wife" posts -- I've contributed my thoughts in most. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?s=&...st&p=366898 Lastly, the most obvious choice given the criteria is a Cartier Tank Classique. See if she likes these: MOVEMENT: Jap Quartz CASE DIAMETER: 37mm X 28mm THICKNESS: 8mm (Wears smaller) Here I am wearing it: http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...3f29899eb26442e And the RG version, which I\'m thinking of getting: ...oops, I've tried for the past 6 minutes, to get on Josh's site to copy the info. It doesn't load. Here is the link: http://www.pc-80108.com/cart10032-tank-lou...rtz-p-3150.html 2nd page, with red croc band. Very nice watch. EDIT: Got it. I know you said UK-based, but I'm sure Narikaa or PreciousTime can get the exact ones. Good luck!
Ham 'n' Pickle Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks for the reply Victoria. Yes doing a bit more searching did show up a few more 'watch for my wife' posts - and I was also looking at another of your recomendations, (I think it was you), for a Piaget Emperador - just need to check on sizes etc ... Cartier items look pretty good. Regards, Ham 'n' Pickle.

Cartier items look pretty good. Glad to be of service, Hammy. Andrew informs me that the Emperador is sold out. BUT that he will continue to search for me (and now, if you guys add your voice, it'll give him more incentive!). It's really a stunner. Good luck, either way!
KB Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 I see Narikaa is back from the east and he has some 46 different ladies watches so you may want to check him out. Ken
Corgi Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Absolute elegance. Available from Joshua... http://www.pc-80108.com/fmco10002-ladies-c...6712-p-242.html
gioarmani Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 "Round case" is subjective--only the bezel is round. Classic, simple, and sweet. Timeless. She loves it.

Lastly, the most obvious choice given the criteria is a Cartier Tank Classique. See if she likes these: HAH...I was just about to write this...too funny. Yup...when I think Quartz for ladies, I think Cartier...and the Tank immediately comes to mind. Another option is a steel Panthere. Classic...elegant...understated...versatile...
Victoria Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Classic...elegant...understated...versatile... Couldn't agree more with you, Toad. Also, H&P, please pay close attention to Gioarmani. I've noticed these past months, that he has flawless taste. That was a great suggestion of the salmon-dial DJ (even if it is round).
TeeJay Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 I'd definitely suggest something like this as well. I got a Muller jump hours for my mother in law for Christmas, and she loves it. Recently, she went to London for dinner/show with friends, and said they were all fascinated by the watch, and waited to see the 'jump' Awesome dial texture, and, on a leather strap, look fantastic
Daytona4me Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 My wife wears these two the most. Cartier Roadster Omega Constellation MOP Dial
