My gal has never been a watch fanatic but she has taken an interest lately with the new reps and gens I have been adding to my collection.
I wanna buy her something and I showed her a stack of gen catalogs and told her to tell me what she liked in terms of styles.
The TAG link and Rolex Yachtmaster seemed to peak her interest but she said "just surprise me"... She wears a smallish TT Citizen Eco-Drive as her dress watch and cheapies for work or mucking around. I'm thinking something sporty, yet dressy and a bit bigger than say a ladies datejust.
She has no interest in a pricey gen, although I saw a nice TT TAG at a liquidator I deal with and for $1.400 it was a steal but she would flip if I spent that much on her as she would prefer the money go towards a trip somewhere. She told me she would be happy with a rep. I know she is not into winding and the continual setting of a manual so a quartz will be OK with her (but automatic / self-wind is not out of the question)
She's not a fan of overly large or men's-sized watches and prefers SS or TT and would prefer a bracelet rather than leather strap. She's taller and athletic with about a 6" wrist.
An all gold would work if it wore well and didn't have the plating come off in the short term.
I will spend $300 or so but would like a few recommendations from female members who have bought ladies watches they have been very happy with or guys who have bought watches for their GF or spouse and been pleased with the purchase. If gold, something realistic with quality plating.
I realize this is kind of an open-ended inquiry but if u have a picture or a story to share it would be most welcome.
