My good lady hits a significant milestone this year and I was looking at getting her a watch

Thinking stainless - she's not massively into gold or bling. Her engagement ring/wedding ring etc are white gold and other than that she tends to just wear costume jewellery

Need something fairly decent size - she's not into small and dainty. She has mentioned a TAG in passing but, if i'm honest, this would probably be out of budget

Does anybody have any ideas they could steer me towards? Thinking budget up to around £400 top end

A Seiko Presage 'Cocktail Time' would suit the bill. Lots of colourways available.
Some nice looking options there, thank you

Keeping in the Tissot vein…PRX 35mm plenty of options

Or a Mondaine automatic on offer

Inox V

Not sure the Mondaine or the Inox would really be her sort of thing

The Tissot T Classic looks a decent option. I like the Seastar but don't think they are her cup of tea either - and I think a 36mm case might be a bit large
