Hi I'm thinking about getting the mrs a Rolex for Xmas, must be small as she only has a small wrist, silver in colour ( so stainless steel or white gold?) with a light dial, preferably silver colour again. I was hoping to get one with diamond numbers but I've been through the Rolex site and the only ones with diamond numbers also seem to have diamond bezels too.

Apart from maybe putting it over budget she will want to wear it everyday and the diamond bezel is maybe a little ostenacious for the supermarket smile

Am I looking for something that doesn't exist, or can anybody point me to one that might suit. It must be new rather than pre-owned. I'd like to know what I'm asking for before I venture into the local Rolex retailer.

Cheers in advance.

I deleted my post because I was going to add to it. But here is the pic again:



Have a look at Steindiamonds.com for options.

I should probably add that the picture I posted was stolen from Dominic's website.

Wow, the same watch listed at £4410 when I sold it. A few years back no doubt...

That Omega on your site looks nice too - this is definitely a first world problem! smile

Possibly less? do they do the 26mm watch with the same style of dial? ie with diamonds as numerals, or is it just the 31mm?

Blowers or Parker's, or Dominic H.

I would actually go for a mans datejust 36mm. My wife has a Tudor oyster prince 36mm and she has small wrists. The ladies oysters are tiny.

I haven't either, gives you an idea on where you'd like to be price wise though.

The ladies Yacht-Master is amazing, easily my favourite ladies watch.

However, it doesn't seem to be the lady's favourite ladies watch though if that makes sense. No idea why...

I bought my good lady a 36mm TT datejust with diamond dot face and fluted bezel.

It fits her perfectly and to be honest, I would struggle to imagine a man wearing it, but each to their own, I suppose.

I think this echos yeti's statement above though, you like the oyster bracelet, I like the oyster bracelet & so does yeti.

But you know what every woman I know who has a rolex has opted for? Exactly!

My wife wasn't bothered about the dial, the material or any other details but she knew she loved the fluted white gold bezel & jubilee bracelet. I have to say, worn on the same hand as her platinum & diamond engagement & wedding rings the shine I the bezel & bacelet look fantastic.

My wifes jubilee bracelet is stretched so far that you can almost turn it inside out, but the suggestion that it be tightened back up was met with consternation.

Quote "It show the watch has been worn and enjoyed, so why would I get it tightened?"

Are you sure the conversation was about her watch bracelet and not her vagina?
