Ladies Watch recomendations please.

[Griff Bitch]

Have been looking for a new watch for the last couple of months but haven't really seen anything I like in the high street jewellers.

I would like it to be black or silver, sparkly and elegant. Up to about £1000

I know absolutely nothing about watches, and am hoping that someone will be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Would you consider a used watch?

[Griff Bitch]

Yes definitely.

[Dominic H]

A £1000 (or maybe a shade more)should get you a very good,late model, previously owned steel Rolex date.

Not keen on Rolex as a brand, don't know why but they seem tacky to me.

Mate bought his Mrs nice TAG which i thought looked rather nice.

What about a 2nd hand Cartier Santos in stainless & gold. The wife has an automatic version of this and it's a lovely watch for a lady.

I do like the Santos, but hubby has got one, might look a bit odd if we both had one.

Quartz, I like the look of this one, but it looks a bit chunky, will look at lunchtime if there are any in the high street.

Got my missus the carrera. Bizarrely very dainty wrists but chunky watches look good

I like the look of these but one concern is the fabric strap and it's durability - can you ask how much they are to replace?

[Andy OH]

What about an Omega. Omega do a ladies Seamaster & Speedmaster or the Constellation ??

[Griff Bitch]

Found one I like on the Omega site. The Omega Co-Axial De Ville, a snip at £4950.00 Honestly I am like a magpie, drawn to anything that sparkles!

Mrs C, I will let you know this afternoon what they say.

[Griff Bitch]

Mrs C, £38 to replace, the girl said they are usually replaced when they get dirty, but I suppose it depends on how much you wear them.

I liked it, but I still think it is a bit chunky, will have to take O/H for a second opinion.

[Mrs Cuchillo]

That looks very nice.

I have a Constellation Automatic, it's been back to Omega twice now. First time it was running very fast - gaining about 5 minutes a day, second time because it wasn't "holding it's charge" if you know what I mean - it used to stop the minute I took it off, and I couldn't wind it manually.

Since it came back this time it seems fine (fingers crossed).

Was I just unlucky?

[VEX]

My O/H has a constilation automatic, but she asked them to add face of the diamond version to the bazel and body of the standard automatic.

4 weeks later it arrived and looks very nice indeed, sparklie enough for a lady of taste, not so bling to be over the top.

To me, this is a nice ladies watch. The oyster perpetual. You'll pay more for the date function or fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Perhaps the pictured 'oyster' bracelet is too masculine?

Rolex have made this watch since around the 60s it's a true classic.

Do people think it's tacky?



Here with date and different bezel and bracelet. The combinations of colour, face, pointers, bracelet and bezel are endless.

People are a bit quick to knock Rolex, these watches are classics.
