At Wempe NYC, they told me they don't even show 36mm DJs to men. "36mm is a women's watch size", they said.

36mm DJs are a big women's seller, but, of course, they also buy smaller or bigger.

Well said and solid advice right here!

With that said, my parents gave my wife a 31mm OP as a wedding gift. As much as she was floored and still loves the watch, she longs for a 36mm Datejust. She will have it sooner or later. So unless you want to buy your wife two watches, get her the one she really loves!

Dear OP

Last week I took my wife up to London and let her choose the watch she wanted. She spent about 30 minutes choosing between about 10 watches and eventually settled on a 31mm, diamond dialed, solid gold DateJust.

I expected her to choose the 26mm model, so even after nearly 45 years of marriage, I would have chosen incorrectly. It's her watch, let her choose.

Naturally I took her out for dinner afterwards to a decent restaurant and that made her day.

Best for you to do the same.

Regards

Mick

I don't know if I am fortunate or not, but my wife wouldn't thank you for any watch, never mind a Rolex. She isn't a watch person,but she does like rings.

Lucky you!! I created a monster. Mine is starting to notice what everyone else wears. Even on tv.......

descartes · 2 March 2016, 10:36 PM

My wife has a 34mm Air King and a 36mm Day Date

RMC12 · 3 March 2016, 12:41 AM

Not too sure about what is the best model to hold value as never really let that affect my choice. I actually chose my wife's Mid-sized YM and surprised her with it. However she never really expressed that she would like a Rolex and I have a pretty good handle on what she likes. If she has said she wanted one I would have definitely let her choose it.

That said, she also like stealing my Hulk when she gets the opportunity.

dominic.warren · 3 March 2016, 01:04 AM

I would get he what she likes. I thank the heavens my wife feels the same way I do 31mm is the largest she will wear. My wife has 2 Rolex watches and here they are. But get her what she wants if she canted a hublot Big Bang she would have one. She has a 26mm and a 29mm

dominic.warren · 3 March 2016, 01:06 AM

The hublot is a mid size neither of us wear I should probably auction it off to the highest bidder.

kilyung · 3 March 2016, 01:06 AM

Get her a Daytona.

Danny83 · 3 March 2016, 01:12 AM

36mm looks great on women

My wife is and was the same, appreciates the watches, but always prefered the Michael Kors, etc. I had to do alot of convincing for this one on her 40th bday. She loves the watch and likes how it feels, but I dont see her craving any more fine brands for watches...thank god. She will stick to her shoes and purses.

Bought this OP for my wife,it made her happy.

Deego · 3 March 2016, 05:48 AM

I personally think a classic for women that always holds it's value is the TT datejust with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet!

Wife said she wanted a Rolex. So I took her to the shop and let her pick what she wanted.

jrwilkes81 · 4 March 2016, 02:59 PM

Purchased my wife a 31mm Oyster Perpetual with red grape dial from Davidsw, she loves it!

vitalsignsrn · 5 March 2016, 01:14 AM

The most prolific advice is to get what she loves despite the resale value. Women (most) don't look at a watch in terms of resale value like men do. Get her the watch she wants.

I have both a 36mm DJ fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet & I find it very comfortable to wear. I also have a Sub which I love. Sometimes after wearing the Sub a few days I enjoy going back to my DJ because it's so much lighter, gives my wrist a break. So while I enjoy both, if I had to choose to keep one, even though the Sub is my grail, I would keep the DJ simply for comfort. It looks damn good too, but comfortable.
