Ladies Watch for 1-1.5k

[edition]

Hi,

I'm after some advice on where to buy and what people this is a nice ladies watch for my budget for a birthday gift.

I have seen a few Cartier Tanks that I like the look of some something of that ilk would be great any ideas on others with similar looks?


Im in Yorkshire but can travel for the right watch/service.


Thanks very much!

Have you thought about Ian Blowers at Hull?

No.... Sorry I should have explained I'm a complete novice with watches!

I'm in the Harrogate area.

Chanel J12 seems avery popular choice currently. Not sure of price but I can't imagine you'd be far away.

Rado, do some very nice looking watches. their mainly quartz but if this doesn't matter I'm sure she'll like them as most women seem to.

Ebel, Baume et Mercier and Longines produce watches of the type you have in mind and are always worth a look used.

Have you popped into fattorinis in harrogate yet?
Worth a visit and are sometimes open to negotiations on prices.

Has she indicated what she wants?

For gods sake don't buy what you want to see her wearing.

I took my own advice (see above) and now Mrs Arrive Alive can look forward to receiving this at Christmas:


Sophisticated, lovely blue guilloche dial. Difficult to photograph.

Don't tell her but I got it on e-bay, new, boxed, delivered in two days, £220!!! I said there were bargains out there ...

Nice fake you got there or the seller has had his brain removed!

Its 100% real. If your selling a ladies watch - that isn't a Cartier - you've got to set a high reserve. If you begin the auction low this is what will happen!
A couple of years ago I got my wife an indistinguishable from new Ebel Beluga with diamonds for a tiny, tiny, fraction of it's new cost .
Gents are sadly a completely different matter ...
