Quartz would be a good call or it's going to run down and won't be worn. Visit the AD.

Give the ladies some credit - my wife has an automatic and a manual wind and they're no problem for her. She thinks quartz is "crap"

I’ve converted my wife too but still can’t get her to change the date on her watches! LOL

I agree. My wife has like 5 shit quartz watches all dead in her drawer. She said she hates having to change the batteries. I think the auto will work great. I pulled the trigger on the Datejust Pink 31mm. I consulted with her sisters and both agreed she will love it.

I think 31mm is a better size for a woman than anything smaller. I think large watches look good on women. Think Beckett (on the TV show Castle) and her 42mm Speedmaster

Changing a battery is less of a hassle than resetting an automatic after a long weekend of no wear.

Your mind is clearly set.

Congrats, I'm sure she'll be happy, girls love brand names

??? Really? I can't remotely see how a battery change is easier than winding a watch. Serious?

I was thinking of the watch as another piece of jewelry that would mostly sit in a box. If it's going to be worn daily then ok, go auto. Just commented because my wife wouldn't want to bother with setting it.

For me, the hassle became setting it every week and changing dates every month...and dealing with the constant - yet random - “my watch isn’t working and I don’t know why”, so I benched the high-end Tudor and got her a quartz Omega. And since then I’ve only replaced a battery and it took 20 mins at the local jeweler.

So yes - on the whole - a totally easier thing.

Fly her out to spend a weekend with me.

Girls shopping weekend?

Well, she would get a package....

I forgot to mention that my wife’s dial is salmon. It was between salmon and pink for my wife also, but she ended up choosing salmon. Congrats!

I'd book an impromptu 3 day vacation and find someone to watch the kids while we go. My wife would prefer that and a $500 quartz to a Rolex any day of the week.

Surprise 3 day vacation no kids.
WINNER !

I bought my wife a 31mm datejust with silver dial, rose gold fluted bezel, and two tone rose gold/stainless steel jubilee bracelet. My wife's mother and aunt also have 31mm. I bought all 3 from Takuya.

I don't know why, but they just can't handle the screw down crown. I'm always setting the time for all of them.

Already booked a 7 night cruise.

I thought I told you I don’t do cruises?

Oh yeah you " go cruising" but not on ships. Rather highway rest stops.

Now you’ve confused me with Ben!

I think we need to get you some Prevagin to help with your memory.

It's hard to not confuse you two.

Exactly what we’ve done and for the same reasons. It’s either the Omega constellation or a quartz seiko ladies diver.

Happy to report wife loves the 15 anniversary gift. She was blown away. Damn she has small wrists. I almost ran out of links to remove.
