Victoria Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 If you want to get your little lady/better half/Signifcant Other a ladies' watch, hotter than any Chanel J12, look no further than this. Herm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I still believe that if she doesn't own one already, every woman should have a Patek Philippe 24 replica. There are so many different versions available (from standard stainless steel, to ritzier yellow and rose gold, to the extravagant haute joaillerie full diamond encrust) so finding the perfect one can be a pleasant adventure all in itself. I've actually seen a lady wearing one here in a local outlet store. She wore it upside down (face on inner wrist) and the big fleur de lis was on top. I recognized it instantly and even wanted to complement her on the choice. No idea if it was real or replica - but either way it has a certain presence on the female wrist.

Naturally, the Patek 24 is an utter classic, but the reps are ridiculous. Bling just isn't convincing on those versions. BTW, Corgi, did you see my Easter wristcheck?

I recognized it instantly and even wanted to complement her on the choice. No idea if it was real or replica - but either way it has a certain presence on the female wrist. Patek is fighting for its dear life in the "dainty" category, since the trend for the past decade has been outsized watches.

vric Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) I offered a Gucci 6800 to a friend and she loved it. Quite cheap too. Same for a Cartier Tank Francaise. Both are so simple, the rep are basically perfect. Edited March 25, 2008 by vric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubFrog Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I still love my wife's Pasha de Cartier (white gold). She won't take it off...and it looks much better on the wrist than in any picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assasi9 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 can anyone find any 'Double Tour' wristshots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailinjack Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 CHRIST BABY JESUS, Ken. Cheapest right now on Fleabay is $949, Buy It Now. ID: 180224200346 Looks a bit dodgy to me though... For those not sold on the Kelly DT, thinking it's cheap and not chic enough to warrant the bucks/loonies, I found an alternative! Your wife will make love to you for hours. EDIT: Okay, I've spent two hours solid looking at the various sites, especially Jay's cheaper site, watchsilix. There are some gems there, but mostly, whew, they're clunkers. Who ON EARTH buys this crap? Your wife will make love to you for hours. Wow, the watch(gift) that keeps on giving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjabo Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 This is an interesting thread, since I'm always looking for something for my wife. I kind of like the Hermes double tour, and I DEFINITELY like the Cartier above, but for the most part I'm having trouble. . . My wife seems to like an automatic watch, but I suppose it wouldn't matter if the watch didn't have a second hand. Also, she likes to have the date visible. Most of the decent looking women's watches seem to be quartz, and the rest are pretty ugly, or I'm just not finding the right ones. Can anyone post up some links for some of the classic reps named above? If it matters, I prefer Silix, but I'm happy to look at watches wherever they are available. Thanks in advance! Oh, by the way, does anyone have any experience with, or thoughts about this one?: http://www.watchsilix.com/product.asp?id=1821 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Reg, this doesn't have "diamonds". It's the best one of the ones you got. However, are you sure it's the Double Tour? The one that wraps up around one's arm? Here's "Angela", probably, modelling the Cape Cod version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 This is an interesting thread, since I'm always looking for something for my wife. There have been many in the past. I always reply, but this is the first "ladies watch" thread I've ever posted. I kind of like the Hermes double tour, and I DEFINITELY like the Cartier above, but for the most part I'm having trouble. . .

Most of the decent looking women's watches seem to be quartz, and the rest are pretty ugly, or I'm just not finding the right ones. Seems Rolexes are in her future, mon ami. Can anyone post up some links for some of the classic reps named above? If it matters, I prefer Silix, but I'm happy to look at watches wherever they are available. As you await others posting pics, check out these two threads: Ham 'n Pickle: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry408520 One of my exhaustive replies full of links: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry366898 Oh, by the way, does anyone have any experience with, or thoughts about this one?: http://www.watchsilix.com/product.asp?id=1821 Hand on heart, I say this is too clunky and it's a fantasy watch, which I always counsel people to stay away from. It's easier to be caught out that way (though as Freddy and I recently mentioned, it's less of a problem for women). Check out the second of the two links above. You'll find loads of Cartiers, but sadly not the Seatimer Pasha. Neither my mum nor I have that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkerouac Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I still love my wife's Pasha de Cartier (white gold). She won't take it off...and it looks much better on the wrist than in any picture. My wife has told me a number of times, "Do not buy me a watch!" because she feels that she has enough (three) already. But if I did, I think it would have to be that Pasha. Subfrog and his wife have great taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjabo Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Thanks Victoria! You gave me so much to look at, I haven't really had time to get through it all even yet! As for the Rolex suggestion, yeah, that would probably be a good way to go, other than for the fact that my wife really thinks any Rolex she sees is a replica or a cheap fake, and she thinks everyone else feels the same. So, I don't think she'd wear it. I'll find some time to look through the links you provided, and then maybe I'll have more questions. Thanks for the help so far! ! ! (mon copain!)
