Suggest Wife’s first AP?
My wife has 3 Rolexes, a JLC Reverso and an Aquanut...she loves wearing her Rolexes, probably to match outfits if you know what I mean - likes large 40mm showy watches.
I want to get her her first AP for her birthday and was wondering what, but don’t want to break the bank. Sent from my Zeitwerk |

millenary. I really wanted my wife to get one but it was too loud for her (lots of strap options too so you can change up the look). That or a 37mm ROO for a more sporty option.

I’d go 15450 maybe RG as I think it will wear similar to her Daytona.

She seems to appreciate diamonds, how about 67540SK http://www.bucherer.com/uk/audemars-...a010ca-01.html or 15451ST http://www.bucherer.com/uk/audemars-...1256st-03.html

I’ve been through this with my wife, she wears a Daytona mostly. I wanted to get her a lady Offshore on a rubber strap but she preferred the Rolex. The Millenary in Tylers photo is stunning.

I wish I had this choice , I can't get my wife to not wear her Apple watch. That is a great collection she has, very classy.

Gold Millenary, I think its stunning. I'd love to buy my wife one so I could see it, but I know she'd trash it.

My wife joined me while I was trying on a few pieces in the Taipei boutique and was drawn to the 15451st black dial. The saleswoman was wearing it and her wrist was very close to my wife's in size, so she got to try it on right-sized, as opposed to drooping and trying to guess how it would fit after link removal. It looked fantastic, and the lugs were hugging the edges of her wrist juuuuuust right. For reference she has a 26mm DJ which looks great, but after several years of ownership she has been considering a 31mm. The AP pushed that to the back burner.
I've tried on the 15450 several times, and it's not to my taste with a 6.75" wrist. The dial feels a bit too small for the size of the case and bezel. The 15202 is perfect to me. The 15400 has too much dial for the size of the case, and it bugs me that the movement is so small when looking at the back of the watch. It's like Goldilocks and the porridge. I've been hemming and hawing for a couple years on what to get. I have a bit of regret at not getting a 15400 blue boutique dial at retail 18 months ago, as I could have easily sold it for what I paid for it today, but I know the 15202 is ultimately the right one for me. |

The 15450ST or 15451OR will be a great piece for her :-)

Thank you all for the suggestions. I initially sought for the 67450 which is discontinued and it is quartz....but after thinking more I really like the 15450ST as it has the automatic in house movement. The steel bracelet with black face, diamond bezel will fit nicely as something different in her collection. Now where to source it.......: Sent from my Zeitwerk |

Looks like she likes big watches. We got my wife an ROO midsize in white, she loves it. Sans diamonds, that was too blingy for her liking.
