    I want to suprise the Mrs. with a new watch for V Tines Day or our Anniversary both of which are coming up shortly. In passing she has mentioned the following attributes. I am not a watch guy at all. In looking I have drifted towards the Tag's and the Breitling's. She is small (5'-3" 130 and ripped) and has a small wrist, but likes the look of the bigger watches. Possibly a small mans watch. She also likes the ones with multiple dials on the face (believe you call that chronograph but not sure) a Breitling navitimer (way too big for her) is an example of this. The dial can be what ever color, but the case and band need to be some form of silver / stainless in color with no gold. Not looking for something blinged out in diamonds either but a mother of pearl dial is OK. She also likes the complete metal bands. Looking to spend no more than $2,500 and if there is another brand out there that is way under budget that I dont know about I would love to hear.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated and it can be a watch of yesteryear but not looking for an antique.

    TIA

    I would think a Ladies Omega Speedmaster with a white face would be a good choice.
    Cost is going to be closer to $3500 though.
    Size is 38 mm which is pretty big for a ladies watch.

    I can't say I have ever seen one of those even in my recent searches but I really like it and I am sure she will too as it seems to satisfy all the requirements. Thanks a lot

    I bought the Tank Francaise, no date, ladies version for my wife for out 10th anniversary. I think it is the perfect ladies watch. Simple, classic, elegant. Does not have multi dials and maybe too sleek if she wants the chunky look that is popular now.

    S/S mid size Rolex Oyster, on bracelet, white face with Roman numerals is what all the women want.
