I'm going to be honest and say I really don't like to see men's watches on womens' wrists. This trend really bothers me.

A Sub on a woman's wrist, or really anything 36 mm+, just doesn't look right, unless it's Misty May or Kerry Walsh, and then maybe...

Micha · 3 October 2013, 03:49 AM

I absolutely 100% disagree...

Aly · 3 October 2013, 03:52 AM

A sexy woman wearing a men's watching is a beautiful thing. Especially the Daytona!

Rolexitis · 3 October 2013, 03:53 AM

I disagree. My 42mm luminox diver on NATO looks awesome on my wife!

wantonebad · 3 October 2013, 04:00 AM

women look better in most things. JMHO I think gender specific watches are kind of silly actually, and are possibly a dated concept with the exception of some formal pieces.

mjclark32 · 3 October 2013, 04:01 AM

I've seen women wearing 16613's, Daytonas, milgaus, 16610's etc, all larger than 36mm and have thought they looked great

Cc1966 · 3 October 2013, 04:04 AM

Some women can really make it work!

It really bothers you?.

Preacher · 3 October 2013, 04:08 AM

I wouldn't like my wife to wear my 40mm watches just as much as I wouldn't like to wear her 30mm watches.

Oh, please. Are we going to start THIS again? Mind your sexism. It's not welcomed here.

While everyone has his or her own opinions and preferences, I'm surprised that this "really bothers" you.

That said, even if it does, I suspect nobody cares.

I kinda like to know which of our members feel this way.

It's good to know such things. A little glimpse into the psyche.

Sperry · 3 October 2013, 04:38 AM

There are two ways to have an argument with woman. Neither of them work.

The petite dermatologist who does my cancer screening every year wears a white dial Romans AirKing. And it looks small.

I see Submariners on women and it seems natural.

What I first noticed about your post, however, was the use of "an" before the model number "114060".
Makes me think you pronounce it "an eleven-four-oh-six-oh". Not owning one, I wonder what is the correct protocol.

Sous · 3 October 2013, 04:41 AM

I'm more bothered by the fact that lady has a 114060 and I don't

h999r · 3 October 2013, 04:41 AM

Why bother LOL .. it looks good on women wrist anyway.

Well for the OP, not alienating the female members here would be a good start

adzman808 · 3 October 2013, 04:44 AM

just got back from Portugal and just about every women under 30 was wearing a 40+mm watch, usually some fashion quartz tat, but big watches nevertheless

looked ok, better than a bloke in heels ;-)

Make sure you tell the OP not to go to Portugal.

Exactly, Tom. Those amazing watches look fantastic on your and especially your wife's wrists.

Nicely put...

RGP · 3 October 2013, 04:51 AM

I think t's hot to see women wearing larger mens watches. To each their own I guess.

News flash...men and women are different and it is not sexist to say so.

For example, I don't think men look good wearing dresses...Shocked? Taboo?
