Women will notice the Rolex Datejusts and Day-Dates because those are the models that they want for themselves. Those watches are all the rage in fashion circles these days...

You are absolutely right about that, but I would say the Daytona is a favorite one too!

In my experience women, in general, don't know much about watches or the various high end brands unless it is Rolex or Tag. So they will also not be aware if it is a rep or gen (providing it's a reasonable quality rep).

In the case of my other half she opted for a gen £500 quartz powered Gucci watch (incidentally a very nice piece) even though I said she could spend up to £2000. Cunningly she opted for the aforementioned watch plus a Mulberry Bayswater handbag (£600), Mulberry purse (£200) plus shoes and clothes etc. to use up the £2000 budget. Now that's what I call smart.

Interestingly, Probably like a lot of guys' partners on RWI she doesn't really care if my watches are reps or not. However, she does notice if I am wearing a watch she has not seen before and questions me on it (she detests gold watches and jewellery so I don't buy that kind of thing). Once I reassure her it is just a rep and have not outlayed thousands of pounds she is happier. Lol. Interesting indeed.

I recently had knee surgery so I have been going to physical therapy often. My therapist wears a gen DJ, similar to my gen and she loves my watches. These are the ones she has commented on

I met up with my gf and a group of her friends and, low and behold, she had my Pam 441 on. It looked huge on her, but def a sexy statement. If I didnt know her, and saw some random attractive girl rocking a ceramic 1950 luminor, I'd be like daaamn. If you check my signaturw, you'll see the options she had to choose from in my box. It has a Gen croc on it too.

She's really holding out for a tank anglaise with gold mid links from me but I won't let her (or myself) buy from a non-td. I may have to settle for a ballon blue

Well a bit of advice on woman - good ones won't care one bit bout your watch choice. And even if you are after the bad ones (lord knows I've been there), trying to shape yourself to what they are looking for is usually a formula for failure.

All that said, gold usually does the trick. A TT blue sub is probably the most likely to get you compliment from a female.

I'm a big fan of taking off my rolex for a one night stand, "forgetting" it behind, then calling back 2 minutes later to get it. Good way to get a second rendevue :)

Only watch a lady has ever complimented me on is my Panerai 312. Other watches they dont care. Panerai they love for some reason.

I don't know why but at the Vegas bachelor parties I've been to in the past, it seems like that the strippers dig Omegas. Could be their choice of the younger guy with the Omega vs. the older guy with the Rolex?
I don't know anyone else getting married in the future so can't test it out personally, but would be curious on how the Noob Blancpain Fifty Fathoms would do with that nuclear torch lume in a dark club like that...

Well, lets start with the basics:

shallow bitchest love gold watches.

Most keepers think white guys in gold watches are tacky.

^^^ This, lol, once my wife finds out they are reps, she's ok with it. LOL. And she wears a $200.00 Quartz Seiko that she loves, and bought a new MK handbag, lol.

My lady almost cried when I told her I wanted to sell my franken Santos 100. I kept it for now :lol:

She loves that watch, and I do wear it once in a while. It's also the watch I get the most compliments on, I think due to the shape of it. People tend to dislike square watches but find this one interesting.
