My wife was kind of the same way. Before we got married she had been looking for a "silver watch with blue face" (like a Seiko or a Fossil or something). Of course, silver as in 'not gold', not as in sterling silver. :)

When we got engaged, she knew I wanted a Submariner and the jeweler that we got her solitaire at was an AD and they had a blue faced datejust that I got for her.

She thought it was cool, but not 'crazy-super-cool' like I thought it was when she gave me my Sub. :) I went crazy!

But as time has passed (6 years) she has really gotten to appreciate it more, she's kind of rough on watches and has had zero issues with hers.
