What better ladies watch for c£1500?
Discussion
Given my lovely partner has just gone through the excruciating pain of childbirth to give me my first child, and with Christmas bearing down on us fast, my thoughts are now firmly on a joint 'push'/xmas present for her. With that in mind, I thought a nice watch would go down well.
As it won't be a 'daily', and with a budget of c£1500, it also sees me in the quartz end of the market. I'm being swayed towards 'pre-owned' because 'new' for that money seems to be a compromise on quality.
I'm an Omega man, so my eyes can't help but get drawn to this gorgeous piece at Dom's http://hackettwatches.com/hw/items/PART9D6MDQ , so much so I have a viewing this lunchtime. But before committing, I wondered if there were any other suggestions from the PH watch-wearing communion...?
TIA

Will she actually like it? Does she wear watches?
She hinted that a 'nice watch' would be a nice keepsake, and something she would want for special occasions.Will she like it? Well after subtly pointing out others when out window shopping recently, I think shed love it. So in terms of design/style, this is most certainly the way forward i.e S/S etc.
Nice watch
I have the same money to spend for my other half also
she tried on a few, and wanted a diamond bezel, but on they look very bling, she how just wants diamond numbers and a plain bezel.
here are a few she liked, issue is the Rolex @ £6.1 k was best which is now an issue on expectations !!!

I got my wife a jaeger lecoultre reverso on a black croc with deployment.
The only other one she liked that really suited her was a stainless rolex explorer I (14270) but rolex was a bit too obvious and she doesnt particularly like the brand, so was over the moon with the JLC.
Don't forget you can get the reverse of a, er, reverso engraved with initials or a date or something in any style you like, which could make it extra special.

In the same budget area I bought my wife an EP Pequignet. The reasons I went for one, after much research, were; she wanted a bi-metal so it could be worn with gold or silver jewellery, it was to be worn with evening dresses so she really didn't want a "man sized" watch, I liked the fact that the bracelet was very different to the usual stainless types seen on Rolex and Omegas, it's a less commonly seen brand and they offer everything from no diamonds to the full blinged-up diamond encrusted jobs. Like the OP I selected one with diamond markers and she was really pleased with it.
I got the wife one of these.. Under budget with discount.
