wifey suggestions

[wat44]

looking for watch for wifey

quartz movement
saphire glass, (I actually find this combo hard to get - most quartz only says mineral crystal or some other euphemism for glass!!!)

rolex yachtmaster, omega constellation, tag aquaracer - that kind of thing (ie s/s, no/little diamonds, little bit sporty)

any suggestions of good reps would be very appreciated

thanks

Mark has the Cartier La Dona series. I can't say how good a rep it is.

Quartz, "synthetic sapphire", whatever that means.

A good place to start if watch-as-jewelry is the idea here.

my understanding is that synthetic sap. = GLASS

ie it will scratch

for some reason, most quartz movements come with cheap glass

Yeah, dealers should reconsider using the term ""synthetic sapphire". It's like "leatherette".

While I can't be sure how the dealers interpret this, actually ALL sapphire crystals are synthetic. This has nothing to do with glass, its just that such natural sapphires dont exist. If a comparable piece was in natural sapphire, it would be worth easily millions.

OK, so I used the search feature and found this:
