If your wife has petit wrists, personally I would recommend the 29mm SS/18kt YG Yachtmaster,
here is a comparison:
To me the 29mm looks more 'elegant' though it is down to personal choice !

Thank you for your comments. However, those are for me! I have a small wrist. for my wife will be the Lady Datejust, SS-YG, Fluted bezel, MOP with diamonds. #179173.

Do you think i can get a better deal if I buy two at the same time?

I visited a couple Dealers today and test drive some Rolexes on my wrist. I was wrong about the YM sizes. the 29mm is for lady and the midsize 35mm is a little too small for my wrist! eventhough, I have a small wrist! Tried on the SS-YG Datona with white dail (#116523 $14,250USD) really looks so....good! not over power my wrist at all like the GMT or SUB! Since I want to get the ladydatejust ss-yg 10diamons (#179173 $8,800USD) for my wife, there also a matching watch for men (Datejust ss.yg 36mm #116233 $10,400USD), I am debating wether to get matching set or the Datona for me and the lady datejust with jubilee band for her? They're all good! Please help!

BTW, the one of the dealer will give me %20off the list price. Tax is 7.75% here in Ohio USA! He said if I mail out of state then no tax! I didn't give them a offer yet!
