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!

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

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.

Whatever works!!

[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)

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.

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

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.

not if HE was wearing a dress and some pumps.

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.

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

VERY TRUE! I stand corrected!

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



best wishes on your search for the perfect watch. Take your time - and enjoy!

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.

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. 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!):





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. But what's really bad is now I'm eyeing the Sub, too

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.

[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! )



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

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!!


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??





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??

[DCgator]

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

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

[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!!!

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 It's all about what YOU'RE comfortable wearing. Don't worry about anyone else!

[SonnyAK]

I like them a LOT...I plan to buy my fiance' a 36mm Explorer for her B-day soon...

[girltime]

Let me just say these ladies are rockin their Rolex's. All look awesome wearing them and they have made great choices choosing the right one for their wrist size.

The pics are great and it really shows how beautiful a mens Rolex can look on a women.

[dsio]

You two Daytona girls look great in those =D
