Need some help with regards a ladies automatic watch. I plan to buy one as a gift but am having some trouble finding a good ladies automatic. Most of the ladies watches I see are quartz, even the omega constellation. Anyway, I don't have that big if a budget, somewhere around RM6k maybe? Anyone have anything good to recommend?
Oh ya, preferably new although I'm willing to consider preloved if it's for something really good. Thanks very much! :Cheers:
-
I was about to start a new thread about the same topic. :Cheers:
Anyway, my wife is currently wearing a Mido Belluna Automatic.
(http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss179/hanz079/Midom001_230_11_111_01-1.jpg)
It's around 2k+
I am thinking of upgrading for her as I might make a big purchase for myself later in the year.
And I have a budget of around 6k as well... ;D
-
bro, with ur budget i can only think of mido, oris n longines which is close. other than that i dont think any wellknown swiss brand below ur budget unless is preown.
omega gt the latest lady co-axial which cost abt 13k, very nice in 31mm. maurice n breitling also have auto model but also close to 10k. bt among so many model, rolex is still the best as it is more feminine.
i been searching for a while and end up i gt a rolex for my gf.
-
Ball?
-
Ya I know Rolex is still the best, but I'm saving that for later, maybe in a year or two. What about girrard perregaux? Some if their designs aren't too bad but I'm not sure if they are automatic or whether it is a good brand.
-
Hanz, same thing here, must give some cushion to justify our own grails. :D Do let me know if you find anything good. I might go snoop around some shops tmw after work.
-
Hellkite
With your budget of around rm6k, maybe you like to check out some cartier santos - preloved.
dc
-
Only good ones I found around 6k is Mont Blanc and Frederique Constant...
Ladies who want well know brand, I guess Mont Blanc would be a safe bet... only drawback is that they aren't really a "watch" brand.
There is a Zenith Elite going for around 6k at a certain grey dealer...
It's the safest bet at the moment...
I will keep a lookout and update here if there's anything good.
Let's what you got as well yeah? :Cheers:
Seems like I am not alone in bribing for an own purchase down the road... hehehe
-
dc: mind to pm me where I can find a preloved santos in kl? Worth having a look if it is in excellent condition.
Hanz: ya, saw the zenith but it's not a style that my other half would like.
-
Bro Hellkite, you better check with your wife whether she is okay to handle the Automatic watch??? There is a reason why most lady watches are quartz, easy for them to handle...
Just my 30 cents
-
Actually ladies is better off wearing quartz.
Unless the husband is a WIS then she can juz wear the watch and leave the winding and setting to us... hehehe
-
My wife's watches are all mechanical.
I do all the setting and winding on all her watches.......hehe.

That's what I'm talking about...
Even if she ask you "How is the correct way to set the date?"
You will answer "Don't worry, I will do it for you" in fear that she might destroy the movement... lol
-
Haha.. Yup, will probably do the same for her. Then again, she does wear a watch on a daily basis, so keeping it wound shouldn't be too much of a problem. If not, then I can now justify getting a watch winder. Hahaha!

I gave my other half a long lecture on how to care for mechanical watches after i bought her the skeleton Epos...good thing is that the watch doesn't have any complications and the skeletonized movement will at least give her a visual view on what's going on inside the watch :thumbsup:
-
Longines Edivenza
-
So far from snooping online, at that price range, I can only find longines, ebel and epos automatics. Maybe I should just get a quartz with diamonds, saw a few omega ladies quartz in that range. Sigh..
-
Quartz with Diamonds is not a bad choice actually... women wear watches as accessories anyway. :D
Thay are not even abit interested in what makes the watch tick.
-
Couldn't agree more.. I can see my other half spacing out when I tell her about the movements, though sometimes she will ask what the movement is and which is better.
Could opt for a mido, saw a nice multifort model. Has diamonds on it AND is an automatic. Win, win!! :D
-
I might go for a Longines Prima Luna... diamonds and automatic.... oso win win... :thumbsup:
-
Diamond would be more than RM6K even for quartz.
http://www.longines.com/watches/longines-evidenza/L2.142.4.73.6
The above is about RM6500 retail, after discount is about RM4Kish

Just my 30 cents
fully agreed as they like to change watches to match with their bag n accesories. they rather to have 10 quatz watches for them to match than juz 1 auto watch tat nid to wear everyday same
-
Ya I know Rolex is still the best, but I'm saving that for later, maybe in a year or two. What about girrard perregaux? Some if their designs aren't too bad but I'm not sure if they are automatic or whether it is a good brand.
GP is not cheap as well. wont think u can get it below 10k
-
if preown then u gt more choice than juz cartier. i saw a frank muller oso is ard ur budget.
omega with diamond is nice. most gal like blink blink item.
but most important is u identity the brand o the model n bring ur gf o wife to try it if she like it. buying things for the other half must make sure she like it. if not she wont wear it often is a waste.
-
My wife's watches are all mechanical.
I do all the setting and winding on all her watches.......hehe.

bro dc, we are in the same boat. i even pick the daily watch for my wife. ;D

Aiyoh... If I am ur gf I oso complain lah... buy for yourself Longines, Omega, Rolex, B&R.... and then buy for gf Seiko?

Longines Prima Luna Automatic... 3k+

Longines Prima Luna Automatic with Diamonds... 6k+
(http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss179/hanz079/movadobaby_2177_7503033.jpg)
I have checked out Rolex as well and I agree it is the best there is... the cheapest one that I think my wife would like already costs 16k+... :o
What do you guys think about this?
(http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss179/hanz079/rolex_datejust_36_mm_1.jpg)
There is one without diamonds going for 16k+
In fact, the whole range of Datejust 36mm polished bezel oyster band combo watches costs around that area.
There is a choice of all kinds of dial... this flower one is just one of them.
The flower dial seems to get a lot of flak for not being classic Rolex.
Anyone here that the other half is wearing a Rolex sports model?
I have seen ladies sporting the new Sub Ceramic and it looks good...
I would love to get her one so that we can share.
If she's not wearing, I can wear... if she wanna wear... then I wear my ExpII lor...
-

Ya, got confused between GP and frederique constant. Haha.. sorry, my bad.
-
if your wife wants something casual and sporty. this would not break the bank and is just slightly above the budget.
a great classy piece that comes in a variety of colours and design in the dials.
go this for her birthday last year.
(http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p186/terrenceterrenceterrence/DSC07411.jpg)
-
Hanz, got to agree with you there. Rolex is the best for classic ladies watch. However, don't have the funds now although I promised her one in a couple of years time. Her old watch is out of commission so I wanted to get her something nice in the meantime but also something that can last.
Ya, will prob bring her to see a few that I have narrowed down.
-
Terrence, did you get it new or preloved? Mind to pm me how much you got it for?
-
Airking preowned is +-SGD3k depending on age, condition and completeness of the set.
for a everyday wear..box and papers are quite negligible imho, it's a bonus if it comes with it and if the price does not break the bank. save the money for a nice dinner
-
Wow... the Airking looks good.
But brand new still asking 13-14k wor...
Pre owned depend on luck leh...
Any leads?
-
Have you considered the new Oris Aquis date? Its got a ceramic bezel. Less chances of getting scratched. It comes in black or white (dial & bezel). Its about RM5400 b4 discount. Ones with diamonds might cost a little bit more.

There are actually lots of choices if ur partner is a sporty and adventureous person.
I saw women wearing Men's speedy and Exp2 on NATO with business attire and it rocks and looks sexy :thumbsup:
Also a preowned women's speedy reduced is very sexy too! And is around ur budget
Showed my wife a Exp before deciding on the AK but she said the Mercedes hands are too masculine for her. So opted for the AK with blue dial; her favourite colour. we could be sharing the watch.....sigh :Laughing_on_floor:
The newer AKs comes in a myriad of colours in both lume and dials. Some are really cute with pink and blue lume. The newer clasp is also cooler. I do notice alot of women wearing AKs in SG nowadays. Quite a trendy cute watch
-
I can volunteer myself to be test wrist for anyone who wanted to buy watch and surprise their partner/mother/girfriend etc
-
seems like mostly will go for rolex lady as well. hahaha
-
to tempt u further ;D
too many variations in dial design, lume colour and bezel to choose from. but I think the 3,6,9 coloured dial is more contemporary appeals to ladies more.
here are a few examples.
1. white dialed white markers with engine turned bezel. lumes green btw
(http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt43/jeremycandoit/photo-1.jpg)
2. salmon dial
(http://www.rolexforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=205307&stc=1&d=1305834992)
3. silver dial, blue lume. IMHO the rounded bezel makes the watch looks slightly larger than the the former bezel.
(http://www.wallachswatches.com/media/rolex/114200_Sil_AraB_L.jpg)
of course there are tons of other dials ..baton only..roman numerals...concentric+arabic dial... and etc. just google it up.
all the best in your hunt
-
also preowned 26mm ladies s/s datejust is around your budget too.
not to mention 24mm Oyster Perpetual as well.
that is if she is looking for something slightly formal and have small wrist and prefers smaller watches.
-
Looks like Rolex is the way to go.. oh well, not this time for me as I'm looking for something new. There is monetary value and there is sentimental value. This time, I'll go for sentimental. (also because she said if I'm giving her a watch, she prefer the first to be new :p )
Good luck with your hunt hanz, and Terrence, thanks very much for sharing the pics. The AK does look very good on a lady. Maybe I cab get her this later after I convince her that preloved isn't too bad..

My wife's birthday is in 4 days time and I don't think I have time to hunt slowly... lol
I will go for a preloved but no need to tell her it is one...
Before giving it to her, just hide the papers... send the watch for a polish... tadaaa!!! :Dancing_banana: :Dancing_banana: As good as new!!

Just an update on the birthday present.
I did not get my wife a watch since she is eyeing an upgrade for our 8 year old wedding ring... I got it for her.
(http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss179/hanz079/New%20Ring/DSC02336.jpg)
(http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss179/hanz079/New%20Ring/DSC02337.jpg)
It's a 0.52 carat South African Solitaire Diamond White Gold ring.
Look closely and you can see that the engraving is the same as the old ring which is the date I lost my masters. ;D
(http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss179/hanz079/New%20Ring/DSC02335.jpg)
New and old all together.
I am still wearing the 8 year old Rose Gold Diamond ring.
She is wearing all 2...
And just when I thought I am all good to go, we watched the Knight and Day dvd where she saw Cameron Diaz wearing the Sub and she tells me... "Dear, that looks good..."
That to me is a signal...
And she is smart enough to google up 2 pics and she shows em to me...

One word.... Damn...
I would prefer to get her the Explorer 114270 though... just because it is cheaper and it leaves me with more moolah for my own splurge later...

-

(http://www.passions.com.sg/v2/files/imagecache/feature/P800-Rolex.jpg)

Carat - less than 1 carat :thumbsdown:
Colour - near colourless (according to the cert) :thumbsup:
Clarity - no idea :thumbsdown:
Cut - Premium :thumbsup:
My own C is Cost - :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: Just because I feel that Diamonds are a waste of good money. ::)

bro,
let me teach you how to look on diamond
i have get some info and study on diamond during want to get a diamond for my current wife.
diamond yes measure in 4 C, Carat, color , clarity, Cut
and this 4 C will determine the price,
many jewery shop selling diamond and some is in ex price but some is lying, you must know how to see to enable you to get a real quality diamond.
normally we as a buyer what we can see with our eye is carat, color and CUT(neet experience)
1) carat - everyone know big or small diamond the bigger the expensive.
2) color - the colorless is the expensive
3) Cut - premium cut, excelent cut, triple excelent cut. each diff cut give different shining,
for sure for premium cut with the normal sportlight u see shine, but normal light u see nothing just a glass, but for triple excelent u see shine all the time, u can proof when u got a primium and 1 excelent put both together u see.
4) Clarity - this is the hardest part and most of the ppl is no idea what is it. and this is where the cheat your money.
this is the clearness of the diamond, and it only can be seen by expert with a 10-20x len zoom, and some as you can see in the cert but the cert some is fake they can make a cert in any lab. as expert told me, the real cert is only for 1 karat above that is how they lazer the code at the diamond, below the 1 karat there is no way can lazer the code to the diamond, so how can u so sure the cert is belong to that diamond.
clarity is consist of vvs1, vvs2, vs1,vs2, s1,s2, l1,l2
the vvs1 is the best (very very slily dirt) almost clear. that is the expensive,.
the are 1 expert told me, he saw some ppl bough a 1 karat diamond with cert everything about 10K above when she want to trade in the diamond, actually it is not a good clarity, color, and cut make the diamond not even worth back 10K, that aunty cry until crazy, always know how to buy diamond.
and there is a fake diamond as well (they call human made diamond) when ever buy a diamond, they have a device to test on the stone is it a real diamond or not, something like autrasound, something like that.
i see and use before when i bough the stone for my wife, it really give a big sound when it hit a diamond when the devices, but you get a bit no sound lighting to a stone when you hit a stone, middle light for gold and silver, diamond sound when u hit real diamond.
-
not bad information. actually i also come to study this this year becoz of buying 1 for my gf. so happen my fren is working in a diamond distribution company so i learn alot from her. here is the rank in order which 4 c is important
1st C - color, is important to choose colorless which fall under D E F, If is G H or I is abit yellowish which can eye with bare eye. not really nice if is yellowish
2nd C - cutting, this is important coz right cutting can make the diamond shine n blink. so the best cutting is perfect cutting which contain 8 heart from the bottom n 8 arrow from the front view (inside the diamond)
3rd C - carat, offcoz the bigger the better loh. but at least get a 0.30ct coz tis is the min ct that can have the laser code inside the diamond itself
4th C - clarity, offcoz F(flawless) is the best bt cant afford. even VVS1 o VVS2 is not worth to buy coz hardly c the different. so as long go for VS1 o VS2 is good enuf.
-
Khanwooi, not sure who the expert you learnt from is, but some info there sounds a bit different from what I know. However, I'm no expert so I shall just share what I know.
In terms of engraving on the diamond, I bought a 0.4 carat which is engraved and number agrees back to the cert. Size, of course bigger better, but not necessarily more expensive. A bigger diamond with less clarity and higher colour grade can be cheaper than a smaller diamond with higher clarity and lower colour grade (ie. D,E,F).
Some labs like IGI are known to grade colours on the more optimistic side, hence some people don't value those cert. Clarity wise, even SI1 you will find it difficult to see the flaw if it is cut well. Only thing is that it might not be able to withstand higher pressures when setting and may crack if dropped accidentally. However, this is just a risk and only happens very rarely.
Cut I find is the most important especially for those below 1 carat. My 0.4 has been thought to be bigger by everyone who saw it. This is because it reflects a lot of light from every angle. Cut by one of the best around. I have compared many side by side before buying and the cut really made a lot of difference.
As we know, ladies love to compare and be complemented and mine is always happy when she tells me hers is more "bling" and looks bigger than others she sees. So, if she is happy, I'm happy. :)
Hans, congrats on a beautiful diamond for your wife! You can buy what you want first, the diamond will keep her occupied for some time. :p
-
Han, Congrat :thumbsup:, She must be very surprise :Cheers:
-
Han, Congrat :thumbsup:, She must be very surprise :Cheers:
Thanks for all the kind words.
She is not surprised because she picked the one she wants from the shop.
It's SK by the way.
I like buying jewellery there because the service is good.
You walk in and have a look, they will serve you tea like you're some VIP... lol
But now she still wants Rolex wor... how? :HammerHead:
And this morning when I woke up, saw another picture on the laptop on the way out... another signal... :P
(http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss179/hanz079/Women%20on%20Rolex/jennifer_aniston_gq_2.jpg)
The Milgauss.... this at least if I buy, can share.... :thumbsup:
-
Haha.. milgauss can be shared. I quite like it myself.
Bro, you sure you are supposed to look at the watch? Must look at the "bigger" picture! Haha!
-

So what you mean is she actually wanted the hat?
Or is it the Calvin Klein undies? :mooning:
-
For diamond, my opinion is, anything below 1 carat is just for wearing purpose and low value on investment.
So, as long as good color and good cut that will make your diamond look outstanding. Good color + good cutting give you lots of 'fire'. lol
For clarity, since it will be on your ring or earring, barely have ppl will use magnifying loupe to see your diamond. So, VS1 or VS2 is enough.
Unless you want to keep for its value, then go for Diamond with 1 carat and above, D color, excellent cut and flawless. ;D
below is ring i bought for my wife (when she is still my gf)
(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee226/tohstanley/watch/P1010311.jpg)
-
I vote for the hat.
-
each diamond have it own cut, clarity and color,
some buy look nice and shine, they feel happy,
but truefully when the fight come is when the you found a opponent wearing the similar carat ring as yours.,..
by looking on your own diamond, 100% yours is the best, but when 2 diamond is put on together, that is the time you measure 4C.
as what Hellkite said.
you more into CUT of a diamond. but color and clarity is also important.
when your wife got a challenger wearing similar karat as your GF, the color will show out the diff, and the clarity will effect the light reflex also doesn't mean you have triple excelent cut also will show diff.
to compare diamond always use 2 diamond put together side by side, you see diff.
then your GF/wife lose to the challenger, then we are the 1 headache hehehehe
the 1 i bought to my wife is 0.36 karat, vvs2, color - F, excelent cut, with the RING diamond hold i design my self.
that killing. hahaha
but it shine all the time,
-
was damn surprised recently when i went to my usual jewelry chain.
The ring that i bought for my wife 3 years ago, now cost 100% more :o!!!
not only gold have went up exponentially but diamonds in tandem as well!!! with the new found affluence in the far east, diamonds are in big demand. nature can;t catch up with demand.
so instead of buying a new car, a good sized and quality diamond can be considered.

J Aniston have a wonderful collection of Rolexes both original and custom :thumbsup: She was made into a Rolex freak by he ex.. another big time Rolex collector; John Meyer.
Better not let your wife see her in a Day-Date... then for sure lagi break the bank.
