Advice please! I want to treat her rotten (as in - really good) but - she is more into 'style' than 'bling' if you know what I mean. If it's any help she has a TT Seiko with 'gold' face. She wants a 'date' complication.
What do you reckon are the options? I was looking at lady oyster's of somekind for a start,
Cheers,

Martyn if she wants a true lady size watch, I think the lady date just is about the only choice. I don't have any experience buying them because my wife likes gents size watches  I think they cost about as much as a gents DJ though, and more if you do the diamond thing. |

I know that we are on the Rolex forum, but for the money it will be hard to beat the ladies Aqua Terra. (if she wants a self winding movment) And if you want to keep it TT...  |

A TT ladies Datejust with new style jubilee lists for $5950. If you can find one on the old style jubilee, you can save about a grand.....that lists for $4650. If you shop around, you should be able to get at least a 10% discount if not 15-20%. The ladies Aqua Terra is a nice watch, but if you want to get her a Rolex the AT isn't a Rolex.  You could pick up a TT Aqua Terra for $2000 or less. I know this is in USD, but might still help you in some way or another. |

I would forgo the ladies-sized Rolex watches and look at the men's mid-size.
Look at a rolesium or even a TT Yachtmaster in mid-size or a 15223, which is a TT Oyster Date.

Most of the women I know all seem to love the all gold DJ on the Jubilee and with diamonds its even better. You can never go wrong with gold and diamonds for the lady.  |

if you are dead set on a rolex, then the lady datejust is the logical solution.. but i would strongly consider Sams suggestion of a TT omega AT

I really appreciate all the replies here. I'll definately take a look at the Omega AT as well as Rolex DJ - I think the diamonds would be o.t.t. fro her though - she wants a daily wearer.
It will be a little while before the purchase, but I hope in time for the christmas stocking.
Cheers
