P4GTR Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 I'd say 98% of this forum is made of up males, but all of us at one time or another have probably entertained the idea of getting the ladies in our lives a rep. This leads to a big question that is not easily answered: What are the best 3 reps available for women today, in your opinion? By best, i'm looking to sort out the best quality, the most desirable by women, availability, great right out of the box reps available today. So tell us what your top three choices would be if you were rep shopping for a lady. Feel free to add more than three if you are on a roll.
Chronus Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 PAM187 AP ROO Hublot Big Bang We know these are really girlie watches... honourable mention goes to the PAM127.
By-Tor Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 Nice thread idea. I wish we had more ladies & their watches here. My lady wears this one. Probably not the best and most accurate but rather nice. Been running nicely for the last two years (soon) now.
ta8088 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 PAM187 AP ROO Hublot Big Bang We know these are really girlie watches... honourable mention goes to the PAM127. Hey you forgot the Super Avenger. Every girl should have one on their wrist.
Daytona4me Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) My wife has 3, Cartier Roadster Omega Const MOP TT She also has an omega link, mop , 2824, larger for her at around 36mm I think. She does not wear it much.. IMO I think any of the Frank Muller would work well for a woman. Dont flame me for it.. .I think the same thing about rolex.. just dont like them.

Probably not the best and most accurate but rather nice. Been running nicely for the last two years (soon) now. Thanks BT. I wanted to go for this. I started looking for one from the usual suspects. Something about the crown on the latest ones looks way off. Sticks out too far. What happened? The bezel/pearl quality seems to be a hit or miss, too. Good stuff so far, keep it coming!
drop Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 Having trouble with three, the following four are quite popular with the better half of my family: PAM 049 Pasha FM Conquistador Chanel J12 (men's size)
By-Tor Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 @P4GTR: Yeah, these cheaper reps just come and go. When they're gone, they're gone. What happened to Victoria by the way? She'd love this thread. Has this community lost its only female member?
dluddy Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 No pics but my wife has 2.... PP24 from River Bvlgari B. Zero Quartz Both are very good Reps.....
vric Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 Kinda link that Cartier For Very small wrist, Gucci
thetwins Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 My wife's rather partial to the black ceramic Chanel J12 I got her -- but she has a gen vintage Omega Seamaster mid-size that's her fave.
Chronus Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 This thread has come up a few times over the past couple years... the ceramic Chanel J12 usually comes up. Quartz so she cannot forget to wind it up if necessary. Cartier is also usually popular with women. One for fun is the FM Crazy Color (sic) Dreams, with the multi-colours. Usually something small and not weighty, but looks good, does the trick.
Guest avitt Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 My wife has a few reps, but this one is her favorite at the moment:
robertb Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 I configured this ladies Datejust through Joshua. SS, MOP dial with diamond hour markers, oyster band and domed bezel. The one on top is my wife's $30k gen Crown Collection President and the one on the bottom is her $228 Joshua Collection rep.
scoobs1971 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 Does anyone see a Daytona somewehere in this pic? (thnx Vic for posting this one) I also believe that these days more women are wearing men size watches like a 44mm PAM104/111. @RobertB: Wow, what a great comparison pic!
P4GTR Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Posted May 31, 2008 Robertb- Your wife's a lucky lady.. and i'm referring to her watches btw! Scoobs is that your girlfriend? I dont see anything wrong with women wearing mens watches. bump, are the possibilities already exhausted?
scoobs1971 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 Scoobs is that your girlfriend? I wish . She's a Playboy Bunny and I think she won the UK edition of Big Brother Celebrity. Victoria posted this pic to entice us man to buy or GFs a Daytona....
jot9011 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 By far the most common watch I see on the professional women where I work is this one: Bought my GF the GEN and she never takes it off. The rep is pretty good too and only around $100 for the quartz version.
Corgi Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 Frank Muller Lady Conquistador by far the most accurate lady watch I have ever seen
cskent69 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 I configured this ladies Datejust through Joshua. SS, MOP dial with diamond hour markers, oyster band and domed bezel. The one on top is my wife's $30k gen Crown Collection President and the one on the bottom is her $228 Joshua Collection rep. That is a great watch RobertB. I am in the process of getting a Rollie for my wife. I see that your has the ROLEXROLEX on the rehaut. How do you think that it looks compared to genuine? The pictures on the dealer sites are pretty bad - but yours looks pretty good from what I can see. To answer the question of the forum - i agree with jot9011. Cartier is the most prevalant where I work as well
Sir-Lancelot Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 Keep this thread going guys. I want to get one for my wife and I appreciate the ideas.
baltic Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 Keep this thread going guys. I want to get one for my wife and I appreciate the ideas. Ditto for me too. I'm quite liking the Omega ATs for a stealthy low-key look as the wife isn't into bling.
P4GTR Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Posted May 31, 2008 What a huge lack of options for the ladies. It surprises me that this is just a men's hobby, with the surplus of handbags and jewlery available for women. Maybe some good supply/demand possibilities here.

To answer the question of the forum - i agree with jot9011. Cartier is the most prevalant where I work as wellI can't compare with a gen because none of my gens have the Rolex script on the rehaut, Rolex started doing that around the time the new GMT II ceramic came out. From what I can tell, it looks good and not too deep or obvious. The whole watch looks great and I greased the seals so it's waterproof too! For me that is a HUGE plus because there is nothing worse than being water phobic with a watch. +1 on the Cartier comment, my wife has a gen Cartier Tank Francaise that she wears most of the time.

It surprises me that this is just a men's hobby, with the surplus of handbags and jewlery available for women. Maybe some good supply/demand possibilities here. This confuses me too. I definitely think that there is a bigger market for women if the options were greater. Perhaps, its because with women, there are many more types of jewlery they can wear and they more often opt for the sparkley variety. If a woman wants to project success and wealth, she does it with a diamonds, not a complicated timepiece. ......The options for jewlery are more limited in men to watches (and gold chains and pinky rings.....if your into that sort of thing) I think it takes a Y-chromosome to appreciate the beauty of a mechanical watch....
