Hi All:
I'm a girl, age twentish.
Recently I'm falling in love in self-winding watches, and really want to get one.
I'm thinking to buy Gents Auto and having the strap adjustment,
but not really sure would it look nice on me,
because my wrist is very slim, and I'm looked very girly.
I need everyone's suggestion! Should I get a Gents or uni-sex watch?
If so, can anyone give me some options?
My budget is around £1000, it's my first mechanical watch for the exerience, so don't want to spend too much on it.

my back up option is Longines Evidenza Ladies, but I need more choices to compare.

Meanwhile, does anyone know a good shopping place in London? I somehow feel the prices in Selfridges are too expensive.....I'm looking for a good bargain for the best watch.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

What style do you like?

If you're in London, you could try Austin Kaye in the Strand. You could get something pre-owned that was worth a lot more.

I like something simeple but elegant, or like chronograph type with the leather strap.
but as the part of the strap I can just buy one and ask for exchange, so it's not a big deal.
Also, it would be better to have the date on the watch.


thanks everyone's help!!!

Get a gent's watch.

Big watches on hot girls rock. wink
Sure, but maybe she prefers smaller watches. Hard to say as she mentions ladies' watches one moment then chronographs the next (which are generally bigger).
In fact, I prefer bigger watch, only not sure would it be awkward if a girl wearing gent's watch?
