Alternative to OP36 for a woman?

Hello,
I've had my eye on a candy colored OP36 for months but have been told by my AD that I shouldn't expect one for at least 1.5 years, if not longer

Nonetheless, I have a landmark coming up this year that I'd love to commemorate and was wondering if I could get some suggestions for an automatic watch that costs between US$4k to $7k? I'd like a timepiece that's around 34-36mm. Something that more or less keeps its value is a consideration, but not a top one. I'm primarily in the U.K. and Hong Kong.

I have a 40mm blue and yellow Sub that I love and am happy with wearing on a day-to-day basis, but would like something a tad dressier. I also have a 26mm OP that was a hand-me-down that I don't love too much.

Since you already have the OP26, for a lady I would suggest a Cartier instead in that budget range, unless you are after something that looks like the Op.

Tudor Clair De Rose 34mm is a really nice watch. Reasonably priced, nice bracelet and very versatile with 100m water resistance. My wife isn’t into watches at all but I got her the 30mm for her 50th and she really likes it. You can get it with a part diamond dial as well if you want.

This. It has the elegance and style that the OP and the Black Bay are missing.

Cartier offers many wonderful timepieces for women.
