Title: Nice elegant lady watch for <RM10k
Post by: peanut on March 09, 2010, 03:03:56 PM
Since I have spent quite a fair bit on watches myself  :-[  and have not gotten my other half any, my guilt conscious tells me to get something nice for her for less than RM10k.  We were looking at JLC Lady Reverso but I am not sure we will be able to get one for the budget.  Any recommendation for a nice daily wear elegant lady's watch?

;) I think about 15K can give you more choices la... like the other suggested too.. Santos looks classic and spotty too ;) But the price is above 10K...

Omega/Longines can do below 10K too if you consider these brands ;)

I think basic Cartier Santos may be around that after discount.  Anyway it was revised to RM10-15k   ;D

Narrowed down to JLC Reverso classic lady (Q2618110) and Cartier Santos (W20060d6).  I will probably get the Quartz version - cheaper and close to the 10k amt - will probably slightly higher but not by much after discount.

Thanks for all the suggestions!   :)

We went to Cortina yesterday and ended up with Cartier Santos (W20060d6).  I will post the pics as soon as I get to do it and mrs agree to take it off her wrist!
Now thinking of getting a matching large man Santos to match her   ;D    Does anyone here own the extra large Cartier Santos?

congrats to your wife on the new watch.... :Dancing_banana: :Dancing_banana:

mine's a chrono because my requirement for any watch i purchase must have a date function..unfortunately, the other Santos XL don't have this function...i bought an original brown croco strap to change the look a bit....it's a good weight...

I bought this pc to compliment my wife watch. She has the smaller version.santos.

It was only a year old when bought pre-owned and comes with full set.. Most women friends comments on the watch as classic and elegant.  Seldom wear though and all this time in the safe.. But then my wife wear her santos as a daily beater, she likes this santos better than another rolex, which I gave her. Actually its looks better on a women wrists.

Cheers

Small size JLC will be very nice on lady wrist. But it will be above RM10k.
