Watch Suggestion for Wife

Lex Luthor

My wifes daily beater has been in and out of the watch repairs every few months now for various issues so she wants to get something new to maybe use more often and keep the one she has and use it sparingly as it has sentimental value

I said I'd spring for a new one...maybe something nice, a few hundred quid but she said she wouldnt dream of wearing a watch every day that cost over 200 eur. She spotted a timex in Argos for €12 (havent seen it yet) but I wanted to get this as a present for her, so hoping to get something nice.

So any suggestions please for a round face watch, dont think I'll get an automatic for the budget. Something good quality as she has a busy lifestyle. Round face, small dial, preferably no roman numerals but she's not that fussy if a nice one comes up and it has romans.

Would there be a Seiko or Pulsar out there suitable?

Any suggestions...

Thanks

ps. budget lets say €200'ish

just spotted this

Maybe I can get an auto within budget
She likes the look of the 2 tone bracelet as it will go with some of her other jewellery

However I have been reading some reviews on amazon about the SYM703K and SYM787K and a lot of complaints about the time keeping. I know she would throw it back at me if this was the case...

thanks, what are Ruhla watches like for quality?

peasant

I'm not sure, I've never seen one in the flesh.

I do however own a Junkers/Zeppelin watch which they also make and that one is of flawless quality

Mitch Buchannon

Maybe....

Yeah thats nice. I actually remembered my GF has a "rose gold" guess watch that looks quite nice. They have a range of two-tone watches in different styles and Its a brand that most girls know so that helps...

ok so she's got her watch back from the repair shop and thinks she'll hang on to it and keep it for special occasions. Because its two tone she's considering something now to contrast it...maybe black dial with contrasting numbers and hands

This orient in mens size is something of the type only its too big but its an idea of the look
http://www.orient-watch.com/products/category/item/?category_id=170

Zagato

That style of watch is intended to have some presence, so I can't imagine you will find one similar less than 40mm. What about the lady's version of the Orient Duo, it's automatic, black with white markers/arabic numerals but is less sporty. I can't find one for sale just at the moment...... oh it's on amazon.com but is $405 ..bit pricey

What about Torgoen? Here is their mid size watch 34mm for €184 on Amazon.co.uk

Lex Luthor

ya the Torgoen is a nice watch but too big for her wrist
any opinion on the Tissot PR100 Titanium?

the wait is finally over, she picked up one of these this morning in Fields
http://www.watchshop.com/ladies-fossil-watch-am4294-p99933059.html

The dial is not as pink as in the pic, would prefer a little more contrast though between the dial and the numbers and hands, but shes happy with it which is the most important thing and the price was well below what I thought I might have spent
