Hok Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Hello, my mom's birthday is coming closer, and i want finally to offer her a nice rep. she already has a gen cartier tank, but searches for something a bit larger with running secs. i already scouted her tastes, and it comes down to this: dress watch 38mm tops white face mechanic (!) large running seconds (!) good finish AR would be nice reliable movement too i looked around a bit, found some that are interesting: -jules audemars (no review on that here?) precious times -longines masters from precious times -chanel j12 white, a bit more flashy but still interesting -rolex ym, quite sporty, i'm especially unsure if she'll like the cyclops it really doesn't have to be a ladies rep as long as its not too large. can you give me some more tips on what to check out? tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBond Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Beware with the J12 because the ceramic can be poor quality. What do you think of a nice Omega Constelation or De Ville? http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry516276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hok Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) De Ville? yes, those are sexy as hell. but rather on the large side of things, rather 40mm than the advirtised 38mm. and not too easy to get anymore? is there a review for the jules audemars offered by Precious Time?

JBond Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) jules audemars offered by Precious Time? I can't see this model on PT's web site. Where is it??? Edited September 7, 2008 by JBond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hok Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) I can't see this model on PT's web site. Where is it??? first model of "audemars piguet" i found one that really hits the spot... breguet classique guess it'S a bit too thick, but this is gonna be a problem with most dresswatches i guess... calatrava would fit too.

Hok Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 All that watches are gent's model. i know, as long as its not too large, it can be a gents model too. jlc master control, btw. i think i have lots of research to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBond Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 i know, as long as its not too large, it can be a gents model too. jlc master control, btw. i think i have lots of research to do Yes I Think so! Sorry for the question but how old have your mother? Because you are looking for very classic watches! I need to know what do you really wants bscause jlc master control is very very different than a J12! So what is the best for your mum? A classic watch? Or a fashion watch?

I need to know what do you really wants bscause jlc master control is very very different than a J12! So what is the best for your mum? A classic watch? Or a fashion watch? no problem. she's 60 years old, civil servant 'executive'. i'm rather searching for a classic watch like the breguet or the patek, with guilloche dial and such. BUT if it is nice, i'll take something more sporty (like the j12) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Fleischer Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) how about a white Cartier Roadster or Rolex DD or DJ? or the TT Omega Constellation maybe? Edited September 7, 2008 by Noel Fleischer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Get her one of these. It's a white porcelain face, solid gold, and elegant. This one is for the delightful Ms. Nanuq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdavis Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I would recommend a Mid sized Rolex Datejust which at 31mm would not appear a large as a man's 36mm version but still give her the larger size that she is looking for. Have a look at the watch below which isn't a new model but a good example of the size and style. It has the diamonds on the bezel and dial which will please most all women.
