Depends what you want to do with it!

I'm 30, myself. I have a Datejust and a vintage Oyster Perpetual because I prefer the dressier stuff for work. If you're the same, then I would say Day-Date. If you want sportier, I would say Daytona.

Either way, we're going to need pics of you wearing whichever you choose! Good luck! 👍

Honestly, I was sold on the Daytona until I tried the Day-date recently in Vegas.. I do feel like MOST women are seen with the day-date and I prefer to stray away from the crowd ;)

This would be an everyday watch.. so I am a tad torn. Maybe YG daytona and SS day-date

I think either would look spectacular for a young lady.

I guess it would boil down to if you want a slightly larger/smaller or sportier/dressier watch...

Got to go Daytona! I always find myself drooling for the white gold with blue dial.

Gold Daytona's a girl WIS's best friend. I see more RG on celebs than YG.

Rose gold Daytona with pink diamond dial.

I'd love to get my wife this, but she doesn't want any more watches. Crazy, right?

A Daytona will look better, hold it's value better, and resell better.

I would buy a President DD over a Daytona though, because the Daytona is simply not for me, but otherwise, I'll leave it at that.

Enjoy.

I do love the Rose Gold look.. but I am more of a Yellow Gold gal ;)

Lucky wife! A woman can never have too many watches, or so I thought.

Daytonas look amazing on girls. This is my wife wearing mine (although the bracelet is not adjusted, it looks great on her, and she has tiny wrists)

Sounds like you're a Daytona kinda gal!

I have to admit, I'm a little jealous.

Why thank you!!!! Kidding......though I'm female and wear a 116520 which I adore. Daytonas are in a class of their own!

I like both gold DayDate and Daytona on ladies.

Here is my wife with her current white SS Daytona. The other picture is from a couple of weeks ago, where she was trying a RG with diamond markers on at an AD and she absolutely loved it.
