Timeless women’s watch.. a Rolex?

My wife has had a Cartier Tank for 6 years now and I love how it looks on her, but I’ve been considering trying to find her another nice watch to rotate through.
I’m not necessarily set on a Rolex per se but i’m certainly open to suggestions. Any recommendations?

Thank you,
~Pat

My wife has a few watches, but her favs are her 36mm SS DJ and YG DD.

Omega has some very nice woman’s options. Also Heuer and Baume Mercier.

Go quartz unless she’s totally into automatic.

DJ looks amazing... you can’t go wrong. Elegant and jewelry like.

This idea of going quartz is actually quite interesting, and admittedly not something I’d really considered. Definitely a good option though.

I’ll look at the Omega’s again. I really don’t like Heuer... they feel cheap IMO. I’ll have to look into Baume. Thanks for the suggestions.

Seriously; nothing at all wrong with a quartz watch these days. The case, dial and wearability are all that matter 99% of the time. And leaving it off wrist for a week and throwing it back on is a huge convenience. I’m always resetting my wife’s watches and ensuring the crowns are down. Real PITA. HAHA!

You’re right, that occasionally happens with her Cartier which is why your suggestion made sense.
Loving some of the DJ’s but damn do those prices escalate quickly lol

A couple of female friends got explorer 1 over the years, some 1016 between them. Tasteful, simple and classic. But I do see more Daytona’s these days, in various PM and dials. Really depends what suits the person and lifestyle...

I think the Tank can’t really be beat, but I find the Bvlgari Serpenti collection to be really elegant and appealing.

I’ll take a gander, thank you.

That’s kind of what I’m afraid of. I’ll take a look at your recommendation, thank you.

My mom often wear pam 62,184 and 338 as they’re legible and comfortable

They’re all older references though...
