Ladies wearing men's Rolex

[girltime]

I recently tried on a men's Rolex and the size felt nice and it looked great on the wrist. I'm still doing my research and trying to find the ONE.

The jeweler told me he is seeing more women purchasing men's over the women's.

Please post your wrist pics.

[wrxsti]

bought this or my wife for this past christmas

A womans watch is supposed to be smaller. Women have smaller hands. A big watch on a woman does not look right.

It is a fad.

be nice, these are folks wives you're speaking of. if it's a fad, then so are shoelaces. the first wristwatches were worn by women anyway. c'mon man.

It's not a fad, it's current fashion. The same fashion which at some time in the past influenced your opinion on what size a woman's watch should be.

[tictocChuck]

I've seen a women wearing a Milgauss and another one with a Submariner.....as I understand it, according to my AD, Asian women in particular like the large watches....perhaps the trend started over there....surprised me...but my wife still does like her 26mm 2-tone!

[Morrie]

Well I recently bought my daughter another watch, because she is now 50 and struggling to read her Tudor Princess oysterdate. This was a worry on nurse duties, difficult to take pulse etc. I dont have a beef with ladies going for a mans size watch, in my case I bought my girl an Omega auto adj in 2 positions piece that was far easier than the Princess to read, it had a clear face. After all said and done The reason anyone wears a watch is to know the time..so if your sights a bit off (after age 45 why not a mans watch.

[Gerardus]

Welcome, my wife wears a datejust 36mm 116200 and before that a 15200 34mm(date).
And she loves it.

[Andad]

Welcome to the Forum Morrie.

I agree with you.

I really need a grandfather clock.:chuckle:

[KirkWilfred]

36mm datejust is perfect

[Atomant]

Well I personally think it's really sexy for a lady to be wearing a mens size watch! Good luck in your hunt and pls post some wrist shots once you got it! :)

[duckdown]

I think it's sexy as well.

[Singslinger]

:thumbsup:The 36mm Explorer or a Daytona of any description would look good.:cheers:

[steubi1]

The larger sports models look terrible on a small wrist, if not to say ridiculous.
Nothing worse than one of this big, oversized Panerais on a 6 inch wrist....

I personally would never wear a DSSD for this reason (I have a 6.5 inch wrist).

This has nothing to do with male or female, it is just a question of wrist size and esthetics. So, if you have a large wrist, then you could go for a larger watch. If not, I would chose something around 34-36mm in diameter.

But that, of course, is only my personal view. Others might see it differently.

Kind regards
Tom

[hfchoi]

...., according to my AD, Asian women in particular like the large watches....perhaps the trend started over there....

I think it might have. Women here in hong kong have been wearing men's sport watches for years. I've seen daytonas to subs and milgauss. Actually, no modern day Asian female wears the women DJ models!

I think they should stick to women models as it takes away some of the individuality for men - it is designed for men afterall. Just my opinion though.

[esm]

really? so it is okay for you to speak for every women in the world...?

its like men, the women came in all different height and sizes. some are taller than men, and that is the fact :lol:

it is just a narrow minded thinking.

[Puffy]

loads of chicks at work wear Rolex, anything from Subs, GVs to Daytonas. looks great. plenty to look at in the lifts :cheers:

[tuisquash]

I gave to my wife a djII. Wear what you want.

[gman54]

My wife wanted my blue dial Turn-O-Graph on jubilee band. So I happily had it sized for her and placed it on her arm... while the AD sized the band on my new GMT Master II :-) If she ever decides she doesn’t want to wear it I’ll reinstall the links and happily wear it again.

[scotty38]

A womans watch is supposed to be smaller.

Is that a fact or opinion?

Women have smaller hands.

Generally speaking you may be correct


A big watch on a woman does not look right.

Definitely just your opinion!


It is a fad.

Maybe, but they'll look good while it lasts.


What other opinions do you have about women?:thinking:

[dsio]

White dial or GV Milgauss / White dial Daytona / YG Daytona or DD looks great on a lady, absolutely love the look, something about a large, mens sized watch makes a lady's wrist and arm look more feminine by contrast.

That and I always think it looks completely hot, love it.

[ray_g]

IMO, the 36mm DJ size looks nice. My wife still prefers her 26mm ladies watch however, even though, nowadays, she needs to put on reading glasses just to tell the time! My teenage daughter, on the other hand, is asking for my '66 Constellation.

[Lisa]

My first Rolex was a Lady DJ - 26mm - but I found the dial difficult to read. So, my current watches are a 34mm Date and 40mm Explorer II.

That's my wrist at the bottom -

Not a good pic, but you get an idea of "scale" with the Explorer II:

You must not be secure in your masculinity that it sounds like a threat when a woman wears a man's watch. A woman wearing a man's watch does not take away some of a man's individuality nor are big watches designed solely for men. It's 2011 now if you've not noticed.... no more caves or cavemen, etc. :)

[rolexertion]

A womans watch is supposed to be smaller. Women have smaller hands. A big watch on a woman does not look right.

It is a fad. Of course. Just like them new-fangled thangs called telly-phones. And telly-visions. And auty-mobiles. And them air-plane thingies. If'n God had meant man ter fly, he'd-a given'im wings! :lol:

I've always figured women can wear just exactly what they want to, just like men.

[tanndonn]

My wife has a midsize datejust and loves the size, thought the ladies was too small for her. She wore my Exp II to her 20 year reunion and it looked fantastic on her. I also love to see a woman wearing a ball cap and playing golf.

SORRY, ist post didn't initially post.

[bemik]

Whatever works!! :lol::lol:

[TopNotchChach]

I always think its super cool when a woman wears a guys rolex.

[Lion]

There are many possibilities and choices out there and I see nothing wrong in women wearing the watch they want!!!

[RolexV3]

I agree. I think it's HOTT when women wear larger Men's sized watches.. It's their choice to wear them so no complaints here.. Here are a few
of my photo contributions (some maybe borrowed)

[axecollector65]

In today's trend of bigger watches, the rolex (sport watches) are right sized for women based on the popularity of 44mm+ watches for men. Don't forget......back in the 70's and 80's rolex sport watches were considered big compared to other brands. I ride motorcycles and I've also seen the trend of more and more women riding Harley's as their husbands/boyfriends have graduated to bigger choppers and custom bikes. Acutually Harley is targeting women riders as their new customer based for growth. I contribute the trend of women wearing and riding men's product to the increase in women in power positions in the corporate world. As the female demographics get more educated and start to take on more senior level jobs they feel the power trip should include a high end watch that the powerful male counterparts wear and the cars and motorcyles they ride. This is just my observation as I am part of the corporate world that wears high end watches and ride high end motorcycles.

[Boadicea]

I've always figured women can wear just exactly what they want to, just like men.

Not really... Would a man wear a lady DJ? I don't think so... and if he did, he would look very, very silly. :dummy:

[BXNupe]

Wear what you want and what makes you feel good. Who freak'n cares what other people think!

For what it is worth, my wife has a 26 mm DJ. When it was in the shop, she wore my 36 mm DJ (Thunderbird). Now, after I paid the astronomical service bill to get her watch out -- but that's another story -- she won't give my watch back! UGH. However, I must say that she wears it well.

[cgjane]

Not really... Would a man wear a lady DJ? I don't think so... and if he did, he would look very, very silly. :dummy:

not if HE was wearing a dress and some pumps. :dummy:

[CanuckArborist]

Personally I think women wearing larger watches (men's or ladies) is really sexy. My girlfriend has several larger sized watches (Armani, Technomarine and even old POP Swatches!) and they all look great. She looks particularly good wearing my Ebel 1911 BTR 1215862. :agree:

But it really is personal choice, go with whatever you feel comfortable with. :thumbsup:

[Boadicea]

not if HE was wearing a dress and some pumps. :dummy:

:lol::lol::lol::lol: VERY TRUE! I stand corrected! :thumbsup:

[JasoninDenver]

That's my wrist at the bottom -

I personally think that Lisa's Explorer II is the perfect size for her.

It is not a male/female issue here, but one of the appropriate size for one's body proportions.

My wife is 5'11" and anything smaller than 34-35mm jut looks like a little bracelet on her wrist.

I am 5'11" as well and anything over 42mm looks like some form of an orthopedic device on my arm.

[Widows Son]

This topic always seems to end up in a brawl. Maybe the search button would be helpful. My wife wears a 31MM DJ and it looks great on her. The 26MM was just too hard to read. A watch doesn't make a woman sexy, anymore that a sports car can make a caveman look sexy. A man wearing a 50+MM Uboat looks just as silly as a woman wearing a giant sports watch dangling from her wrist like a dangle bracelet. Just to be fair though, if a man has a 5/12 inch wrist, he looks silly wearing a 40MM watch too. Has nothing to do with sexism, but has everything to do with proportions. Wear whatever you want, just don't expect everyone to agree with you.

[Chipmunk]

It's all good. I say go for it.

[Rlx4mle]

Hah, my first post and it is to show that women DO rock a man's watch:dude:. Here's my DJ 36mm given to me by DH for my January milestone bday (courtesy of Tony G., aka justrolexes on TRF--Thanks, Tony:thumbsup:!):

Sorry, pics aren't that clear. Anyway, I LOVE wearing (and looking at) my DJ so much that I've even been wearing it to bed:chuckle:. But what's really bad is now I'm eyeing the Sub, too :naughty:

Amy

[sea-dweller]

I have seen women wearing GMT's, Explorer's, Sub's, DJ's and a Daytona and they looked great!

[spuds]

loads of chicks at work wear Rolex, anything from Subs, GVs to Daytonas. looks great. plenty to look at in the lifts :cheers:

"Chicks" or watches?!?!?! :naughty:

[MonBK]

I have seen women wearing GMT's, Explorer's, Sub's, DJ's and a Daytona and they looked great!


I've seen women wearing nothing and they looked great too. :lol:

[mborkow]

Men's watches on women is no problem at all!

[spuds]

I picked up my first ever infraction points (& made a sincere public apology to Karis) when during a similar thread I jokingly (& foolishly) remarked something along the lines of "Women shouldn't wear mens watches because the only time they need to know is when it's their husbands dinnertime!!"


(ok yeah in hindsight I can see how that wasn't as funny in type as it was in my head! :banghead: :dummy: :banghead:)



Can I just say though that I do think too many people (generally men :thinking: ) are far too quick to jump on the "PC bandwagon" & condemn anyone who DOESN'T like a mans watch on a ladies wrist? :thumbsdow

It's only personal taste after all (personally I like the look but my wife wouldn't wear my cSub' or my GMTc if you paid her) & just because someone opines that "ladies watches are designed for & best suited to ladies & vice versa mens" it doesn't necesssarily mean that the poster is a vile & ignorant sexist pig!! :nono:


I wonder: would so many members be so quick to condemn a female member who expressed her opinion that a guy looked less than ideal if he wore a 26mm Datejust?? :thinking:





But anyway..... Slightly off-topic I know but nevertheless almost the same tangent (& in an attempt at lightening up all the "cavemen" remarks).....



with all this talk of "Wear whatever you want" can I take it you'll all be ok with me wearing my mankini (& whichever watch takes my fancy) to the next GTG then?? :cheers:

[DCgator]

Yes, Dan. You may wear your mankini at the next GTG.... ha ah ha

[esm]

Yes, Dan. You may wear your mankini at the next GTG.... ha ah ha

Oh no, please do not encourage him..... :lol:

[lady yachtmaster]

Rolex has great options for everyone. I have a 31mm DateJust, a 35MM Tudor Sub and a 40mm Daytona. I love them all and receive compliments when I wear each of them. Wear what you want and enjoy it!

[kcmo]

Ahhh, another chance to proclaim my love for the men's models!!! :clap::clap::clap:

I'm a gal who has worn men's watches for ages...just prefer them. For the last 5.5 years I've worn the following Rolex models...

Men's DJ
Men's Submariner
Men's Explorer 2
Men's GMT Pepsi
Men's Yachtmaster
Men's Daytona

These are my two current that I ADORE!!! Love seeing other gals go with the larger sizes :dude: It's all about what YOU'RE comfortable wearing. Don't worry about anyone else! :thumbsup:

Hi, I gave my daughter an explorer and she loves it. Although she has a small wrist it looks great on her. Hope this helps.

You must not be secure in your masculinity that it sounds like a threat when a woman wears a man's watch. A woman wearing a man's watch does not take away some of a man's individuality nor are big watches designed solely for men. It's 2011 now if you've not noticed.... no more caves or cavemen, etc. :)


OK then call me when you think it'll be widely accepted for guys to wear lady date justs. It'll be 2111 at least. That's the way it is, double standards and inequality. And I accept that; I just don't agree with it.

I might be a caveman but at least I'm a 2011 caveman.

Hang on a tick - no one has any issues if a man choose to wear anything yet is considered as a ladies or mid-size watch here. The issue we are discussing here is ladies wearing men's watch. Then again, who defines what is a men's watch and what is a ladies watch thesedays...?

[hfchoi]

Then again, who defines what is a men's watch and what is a ladies watch thesedays...?

I presume rolex call their models lady dj and ym because they were designed for women. Granted it doesnt mean that the non lady designated models aren't meant for women.

[dsio]

My definition of a Lady's watch:

A watch that looks good on a lady.

I've actually heard guys make snobbish remarks about my sister in law wearing her SS Daytona, because they're on a waiting list or saying its a waste, if a guy was wearing it, they'd respect that, but because she's wearing it, its assumed she borrowed it from her husband, which is a bit sad really.

[hfchoi]

I'd have to admit some lady's do make daytonas look good.

[Andad]

I am sure Karis will be really happy to hear that.:banghead::dummy:

Now if you have nothing more constructive to add.:bye::bye:

[hfchoi]

Sorry to be not as constructive as you, Eddie. Maybe I'll have to leave the forum now?

[stusrt]

bought my girlfriend a 32mm TAG - and now she thinks it's too small -
after trying on a bunch of Rolex's - she wants a 34mm or 36mm

Years ago I bought my wife (now ex) a ladies rolex (26mm) and she loved it for awhile - but found it too small after a year. Then she got a 32mm Omega and wears it to this day, while the rolex is sits in a jeweler box.

[stusrt]

then again - those lady's rolexs are just so darn cheap used !!

[t e x]

[JJL]

In my opinion, it definitely works for an everyday type of watch under the following 2 conditions:

1 - You already have another, dressier, more elegant watch for certain occasions and possibly corporate environment.
2 - You don't have extremely thin wrists where the watch just dwarfs your wrist

[girltime]

Your wife looks great wearing all of them.

I recently tried on a men's Rolex and the size felt nice and it looked great on the wrist. I'm still doing my research and trying to find the ONE.

The jeweler told me he is seeing more women purchasing men's over the women's.

Please post your wrist pics.

Many ladies love the bigger ones, ah, the 40mm size that is. Go for it! :thumbsup:

[DoxaDavid]

I took my wife to an AD to try on different sizes and styles to see what she liked before suprizing her with a 31mm DJ in Rosegold. She tried on the Mid size YM but thought it was a little big and the ladies were too small. This one called to her the perfect size :thumbsup:

My mom was in town and asked to try on my TT Daytona and it looked great on her. She likes to wear larger, clunky style jewelry so I wasn't surprised she liked it.

Watches in my opinion don't have gender identiies, just sizes so find the right size which works for you and enjoy.

This Omega is great, it seems that 42mm and no more chance to get a brand new, is discontinued version? found nothing about this great one in Omega official website.

[Eurico]

It's a consistent trend in Brazil, between the female celebrities.

And the Daytona is the "chosen one". It's expensive, so it's the best.

Even the horrendous Daytona "Leopard" enjoys healthy sales here.

:banghead: Damn... one more target, I will go to Omega’s AD to check the price of this white one out this weekend, sigh... while I want to end up by Sub14060M COSC but another one is come out. Watches really something like a drug, hard to quit. Thanks, Eric, your post drive me keep going to burn my $$$, hope the AD quote an unreasonable high price. By the way, can't imagine that she got the same model in two different colors, but those amazing! :thumbsup:

:chuckle: highly unlikely.... these Speedy Dates are quite affordable imo, def. less than the 3570.50 Speedy Pro or PO :thumbsup:

the blue one is actually mine, but that doesnt really mean anything in my house :lol::lol::lol:

[byr0nic]

I think what has been perhaps overlooked is that certain je ne sais quoi that comes from a lady wearing anything originally designed for a gentleman.

I think if it can be pulled off, it's a powerful statement of the wearer's confidence - and is there anything sexier?

[OLJR]

Those pieces look great on ladies' wrists. :thumbsup:

However I reckon that a man would normally look quite silly in a 29mm watch though. But each to their own...

[taughtmepatience]

My Submariner looks completely silly on my wife's wrist. However, some models look great on women's wrists. To each their own.

[Jolu]

Men don't look silly wearing womens watches either. My daughter was kind enough to lend me her precious christmas present to prove it.

Looks awesome!

And it made me wonder, has Rolex ever made a child's model? I am not sure that it would sell in Europe or the Americas but it might be quite popular in fashion conscious regions like the middle east and certain parts of Asia.

[RRY]

Karis I absolutely love the way you wear those two watches! And a big cheers to all the ladies in the house. Rollies could not look sexier than on your wrists!

After buying my Sub-C my wife now wears my SS date-just. It looks amazing on her. The daytona and date-just look great on women. I love that 36mm size. I like brushed bracelets for myself but on women PCL or Jubilee bracelets look sexy.

[Paris92]

My wife has been wearing a Stainless Sub for about four years now and we both love the way it looks on her.

I recently tried on a men's Rolex and the size felt nice and it looked great on the wrist. I'm still doing my research and trying to find the ONE.

The jeweler told me he is seeing more women purchasing men's over the women's.

Please post your wrist pics.

I LOOOOOVE girls that wear men's RLX.... i find it super sexy and very classy :cheers:

[1bad750]

well with my new addition of a yg dd, my 116233 tt datejust is now on the wifes wrist...:cheers:, ill post a shot later...

[Power Play]

My wife wore her 29 mm SS Yachtmaster for years and looked pretty darn good IMHO. As our watch interest began to spin out of control with Seamasters, Sea Dwellers and Deepseas she expressed interest in a new, bolder, bigger watch. I got her a non-COSC 14060 and she loves it!

IMHO, nothing looks better on my wife that a decent-size, vintage, classic Rolex diver!!

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it!!

You have very good taste. :thumbsup:

I'm enjoying my Sub more and more each day. A couple days ago at the airport I could hear a man whispering behind me. He tapped me on the shoulder and asked to see my watch. He complimented me and said this was the one on his Bucket List. He as well mentioned how nice it looked being worn on a women's wrist. I thanked him and referred him to TRF. :jni:

[mike_uk]

My missus wears my Daytona more than I do now! When I said the other day that was thinking of selling it I got the cold shoulder for the rest of the day!

And she's the one that moans I care more about my watches than her!!

My missus would wear the watch but no way in hell she'd wear that swimsuit (sadly)

[never2late]

I picked up my first ever infraction points (& made a sincere public apology to Karis) when during a similar thread I jokingly (& foolishly) remarked something along the lines of "Women shouldn't wear mens watches because the only time they need to know is when it's their husbands dinnertime!!"


(ok yeah in hindsight I can see how that wasn't as funny in type as it was in my head! :banghead: :dummy: :banghead:)



Can I just say though that I do think too many people (generally men :thinking: ) are far too quick to jump on the "PC bandwagon" & condemn anyone who DOESN'T like a mans watch on a ladies wrist? :thumbsdow

It's only personal taste after all (personally I like the look but my wife wouldn't wear my cSub' or my GMTc if you paid her) & just because someone opines that "ladies watches are designed for & best suited to ladies & vice versa mens" it doesn't necesssarily mean that the poster is a vile & ignorant sexist pig!! :nono:


I wonder: would so many members be so quick to condemn a female member who expressed her opinion that a guy looked less than ideal if he wore a 26mm Datejust?? :thinking:





But anyway..... Slightly off-topic I know but nevertheless almost the same tangent (& in an attempt at lightening up all the "cavemen" remarks).....



with all this talk of "Wear whatever you want" can I take it you'll all be ok with me wearing my mankini (& whichever watch takes my fancy) to the next GTG then?? :cheers:

This is just wrong on too many levels!

[RedwinGV]

Strange how it's ok for women to wear a man's shirt, but the man would be strange if he wore a woman's.:thumbsup:

[krzspeedstr]

There is a lot back and forth on what people like and wear but I am in the camp of finding it sexy when a women has a men's Rolex on.

My wife now wears my Rose gold & Steel DJ and it looks great on her, she was never into watches but once I got her to try it on I never got it back.

We now joke that I have to get another watch with Rose gold as I no longer have one.

That being said, acceptance by the circumstances/people one finds themselves in is a question of an infinite number of variables.

[buke45]

Only a man would say its a fad, most women that wear a man's sized watch say the will never go back to the smaller ones. My wife has confiscated my Pepsi and wears it more than her Crown Collection President or her TT DJ.

[nko51]

I think it looks great!

[mfer]

I think women can pull off larger than average watches, more so than men. Here is a 45mm on my wife's wrist (I think 6").

Check the photos of super models and female TV people for the past few years. Most of them sport a men's Rolex or other brand of large watch . Ellen Degeneres seems to wear a Rolex Daytona or a Submariner on her talk show.Seems to me we had a string of posts showing photos of models with men's Rolex watches a few months ago.

IMO, women with smaller wrists pull off the look. It looks fine on larger wrists but i see it as a necessity rather than fashion accessory

[Onikage]

I have a friend who will nt wear a watch. He believes he cannot wear one (he is very thin) I convinced him to wear my GMT one day and he said "See what I mean? It just looks wrong on my wrist." I honestly thought it looked fine, it was great to see it on someone else. Then I said "It looks awsome man. Women wear them, you know?" This mustn't have comforted him much as he handed it back to me straight away. I honestly didn't mean to insult him...It was just one of those things you say when you shouldn't! LOL

Reminds me of one of my favorite Spongebob episodes. Sponge is asking his boss, Mr. Krabbs, if he likes his hat.

"No, it, err, makes you look like a girl!" growls Mr. Krabbs.

Just added an avatar-wearing my GMT, which I consider SMALL, now saving up for a Deep Sea! I personally LOVE wearing a man's watch; started off with a Tudor chrono back in the early 90's and have never looked back. Whatever rocks your boat guys and gals!
(Just realized I need to start a photobucket or something to attach a bigger pic, sorry!)

[Lol-x]

A vintage sports Rolex is an awesome option for a lady to wear.

I really don't get how anyone irrespective of sex could wear such a small dial watch as the Lady DateJust. Maybe its just my eyes but I find it very small to read easily the time on such a small dial.

[amani]

i think the gender is the least factor to this topic. the occation, body size proportion and personal preference is more important. i have been trying so hard to talk to my wife in buying a men sport watch so we can swap but her wrist just can't handle a 40mm. another example for myself is i think most guys would agree a gucci dress shoes would look good on most men, but not me. i mostly wear sports outfit, when i looked at the mirror with that shoes, it just disgussed me. i was wearing ~30mm watches all my life until my LVC, and back then guys watches wasn't as big as now and everyone is wearing them. I agree that some watches are more female oriented than the others like the itty bitty cartier diamonded watches, if you dont call those female watches i don't know what are. one unfairness about the ladies is i think most of the time they look just as good as wearing a "men" size watch as the wearing a "lady" size watch, while most guys don't look good with "lady" size watch. you girls with sports watch rock.

[kritsberg13]

My Fiancee wears a 40mm Zodiac and it makes her wrist look awesome. I agree with a previous post about how a larger watch on a woman actually brings a more feminine appeal. I would love to get her the Sub or the Explorer for the casual dress days. I am very new school when it comes to watches myself. I just bought my first Rolex and its DJ2. Which has mixed reviews. The old school enthusiasts think of the DJ2 as blasphemy. LOL. I am firm believer in do what you want, and love what you love. Dont let others make your decisions for you. We all have our own likes and dislikes. I was mesmerized by the DJ2 after a very long Rolex courting period. So I bought that one to start my collection. So in closing. Do you!

[tiwatchguy]

First post although I've lurked for a while now. Plus, I am about to (perhaps ) get my first Rolex. In fact, I am thinking of getting a pair, one for me and one for my fiancee. I have not browsed or bought a watch in a few years and for some reason have not looked at Rolex seriously but am now hooked on the Submariner and Deep Sea (classic look, tool watch seriousness plus aesthetic, durability). Do you think 40mm with a black face is too ominous for a woman's watch? I want the watch to be a surprise. I am also considering JLC's Master Compressor Diving GMT series.

Finally, being an owner of watches that most people don't recognize (AP, PP etc.), I am conflicted about whether a Rolex Sub attracts too much notice. This is actually one of the reasons why I don't own a Rolex.

I'd appreciate your thoughts, particularly with respect to the watch size for a woman. My fiancee is 5'4 and slender and we are both professionals in our mid/late 30s.

[Atty.Oliver]

Hey Amy, here's a teaser for ya. This is my lady in sub ;-)

[Galion]

Men's classier and more elegant designs like Daytonas and DJ's look great on women, Onth sport models look silly and not that femenine, unless its a big woman wearing the watch.

My daily watch is the Deepsea and my Fiancee usually wears a 40mm Sea Dweller. It looks great on her. She's 5'5'' and slender/athletic build. I'm 30 and she's 27 and we both work in financial services. Rolex can attract a little more attention since its a more recognised brand but its usually only by other watch lovers and I've never had anyone comment at work that wasnt into watches. I say go for it. Save the AP and PP for going out/weekend watches. Its a little corny but I like having matching watches plus I get to appreciate the DSSD and the SD at the same time. :thumbsup:

I am purchasing a Pam 112 and I am giving my wife my 2002 Air King at 34mm its a nice larger size but not overpowering!

[bhall41]

This topic always seems to end up in a brawl. Maybe the search button would be helpful. My wife wears a 31MM DJ and it looks great on her. The 26MM was just too hard to read. A watch doesn't make a woman sexy, anymore that a sports car can make a caveman look sexy. A man wearing a 50+MM Uboat looks just as silly as a woman wearing a giant sports watch dangling from her wrist like a dangle bracelet. Just to be fair though, if a man has a 5/12 inch wrist, he looks silly wearing a 40MM watch too. Has nothing to do with sexism, but has everything to do with proportions. Wear whatever you want, just don't expect everyone to agree with you.

+ 1. Proportionality is the key. Some women can pull off a men's sport watch but many, IMO, can't. I personally dislike seeing expensive sports watches used liked bangles by some women, with the bracelet loose. The watch, in those circumstances, is reduced to the level of a mere fashion accessory, doubtless with little appreciation of its intrinsic beauty or its significance as a piece of fine mechanical engineering.

My $0.2. I'll get off my high horse now. :bye:

I personally dislike seeing expensive sports watches used liked bangles by some women, with the bracelet loose. The watch, in those circumstances, is reduced to the level of a mere fashion accessory, doubtless with little appreciation of its intrinsic beauty or its significance as a piece of fine mechanical engineering.

My $0.2. I'll get off my high horse now. :bye:

Here, let me help you down off that high horse.

I'm one of those ladies that likes to wear my watch loose like a bangle. Not so loose that it's rotate on my arm, but it does move around. To me it's a lot more comfortable that way, and I like the way it looks. And Yes, I most certainly do appreciate the fine piece of horology on my wrist! :agree:

I consider all the watches in my sig pic to be ladies watches. I'm a lady and they're mine, that makes them ladies watches. :clap: :clap: :clap:

[floater156]

A womans watch is supposed to be smaller. Women have smaller hands. A big watch on a woman does not look right.

It is a fad.

Believe it or not, the size of the watch you're currently wearing was probably considered a fad a one point in time. It wasn't that long ago that 33mm was considered the proper size for a man's watch. My wife prefers 36mm watches.

[Hairdude1]

I like it when I see women wearing larger watches.

Damn, and the view from the saddle was so nice too. :chuckle:

Obviously lots of women (yourself included) do appreciate a "fine piece of horology" , and I think that's fantastic. As a bloke, I would like to see more of that.

If you want to wear your watch like a bangle, that's your call. As a TRF member you would do doubt appreciate the risk of damaging the bracelet by wearing it that way. I personally cringe (inwardly) when I see a woman (and sometimes a man) doing that.

[CLRBLULITE]

I attempted to purchase my mom a large diameter watch for Mother's Day, but she wasn't going for it. I think both larger and smaller watches look great on a lady, especially a larger Rolex, as their are so many more available styles.

[pfg1]

I saw a green Milgauss on a woman at Tiffany's NY and it looked great on her.......she wore it loose like a bracelet on her wrist.

[amitv85]

I think if it works why not? My girlfriends petite and has small wrists so she does not like it.

[ingoodtime]

be nice, these are folks wives you're speaking of. if it's a fad, then so are shoelaces. the first wristwatches were worn by women anyway. c'mon man.

Big watches themselves were a fad which seems to have become mainstream. Invicta has done tremendous sales of large watches which have grown in size over the past 5 years. I saw a show last night on tv and many of the watches were 50+ MM. One was about 61 MM.
Some also weighed 300 or more grams. That is close to 3/4 of a pound. A rare few wighed more. Sometimes IMHO a 40mm watch does look a bit large on certain womens wrists.i think. 34-36mm on many women is large enough to have good wrist presence while not papering overly large.

I've seen a women wearing a Milgauss and another one with a Submariner.....as I understand it, according to my AD, Asian women in particular like the large watches....perhaps the trend started over there....surprised me...but my wife still does like her 26mm 2-tone!

My wife likes her 26MM also. She won't even look at mid size watches at the 34MM. Size.

Absolutely whatever works for people my wife has a small wrist, and has a classic 26mm, she has seen the fashion spreads promoting bigger watches she now wants a 36mm. I suspect it will look like a piece of furniture strapped to her wrist, so when bored I will be the proud owner of another 36mm Datejust, does not sound like I will lose. For me personally the trend to bigger watches is moving a watch from a functional elegant part of your look to some big show symbol, that looks like a sundial strapped to your arm. I interviewed two people for a job Friday both were wearing hard core black plastic dive watches that must have been close to 50MM, I thought they looked absolutely stupid, on their wrists. I am wearing my sub and it looks big to me on my wrist. Truth is we could all probably wear 50mm I just question if it is about the watch or the bling.

[gucciposh]

Ahhh, another chance to proclaim my love for the men's models!!! :clap::clap::clap:

I'm a gal who has worn men's watches for ages...just prefer them. For the last 5.5 years I've worn the following Rolex models...

Men's DJ
Men's Submariner
Men's Explorer 2
Men's GMT Pepsi
Men's Yachtmaster
Men's Daytona

These are my two current that I ADORE!!! Love seeing other gals go with the larger sizes :dude: It's all about what YOU'RE comfortable wearing. Don't worry about anyone else! :thumbsup:

I tried gifting my Sub to my mother, she tried it on and said it was too big =/ Quick question to the ladies in the house. Do the men watches fit on your wrists? My mom's wrist is so small that if I was to take out all the links on my sub I feel like it would still wear like a loose bracelet.

[Lisa]

Ricky, I have that problem. Generally, if your wrist is less than 5 3/4 inches, you'll have to either remove a permanent link or use a leather band...

Really depends on your wrist size. Mine is just under 6.5" so the men's watches fit fine. Both of mine are very comfy.

I'd say the 36mm is the perfect fit. I wouldn't wear anything over 40mm. I do find my Daytona to fit more comfortably than my old Sub which I no longer have. I don't like a watch to sit too high off my wrist and prefer the lugs to be somewhat tapered.

looks just as silly as a woman wearing a giant sports watch dangling from her wrist like a dangle bracelet


Have to disagree on that point. In my opinion when a girl has a big watch and wears it loose like that it's more attractive than them wearing a ladies watch that fits snugly. For example I think Charlize looks hot as all hell in that picture. There was also a picture of a mens daytona worn loose like that and again I think it looks better than when they're wearing a ladies watch.

Also wearing a 50mm U-boat is not necessarily a bad thing. A guy at my university wears a 49mm Welder and it suits him fine. The watch should be fully on the wrist (If the whole case back isn't making contact with your wrist then it is too big). If you're wearing a watch and the lugs don't go over the end of your wrist leaving a gap (if that makes sense) then you are fine in my eyes.

Charlize could wear a bin liner and look as hot as hell. It's not the watch.

I completely agree. The look is, after all, referred to as the Boyfriend watch. If a woman wears a mans watch, it should fit on the looser side...as if she's wearing her boyfriend/husband's watch. Not spinning around her wrist, but lose enough to sit off center

I don't find properly fitted men's watches on women all that complimentary

A few days ago I bought a Green Submariner. I have always liked my husband's black one, and after seeing a green one while looking for a new watch, I fell for it! I do feel that I have taken a bold step by choosing this watch, so I'm relieved to know that some other women wear Submariners. If women's watches don't come with features making them suitable for women who enjoy outdoor activities, then I have to choose a man's watch that has such features. I have been wearing a man's Tudor watch for the last 28 years, but at 35mm it is not now considered to be a big watch. I need to replace it because unfortunately I damaged it. It is the rotating bezel that makes the Submariner bigger than the Tudor, but the bezel is a feature I really wanted to have.

Hello I've an Omega PO chronograph 37.5 mm. Just love that watch, and then it escalated to my first rolex 14060. Can't wait to try it on my wrist.:) I'm new on this forum and just had to say that my Omega is really a great watch. http://img.tapatalk.com/4fa0bf6c-bc5d-eba0.jpg and I think women that are just as interested in watches like me should consider this model. The positive side is the size it's not so big.:)
