They are plenty of choices I believe most of the gals care less on the horology value but rather on the aesthetic of the watches . Cartiers, rollies are nice and you have Chopard happy diamond , GP's cat's eyes . Having said that jaeger has a good number of nice watches for missus too , like the reverso with little diamonds or the new rendenvous if u prefer something different !

Spiderboy is right...
Most ladies do not care about horology pedigree when it comes to watches.
They like blingy watches...
But with a WIS husband, we would most probably scrutinize her choice and try to steer them towards the correct direction.
By that I mean to steer them towards watches that are more worth the money paid...
It will always end up a Rolex most of the time.
Got this for my 10th Anniversary for my wife.


Rolex Datejust 31mm Boysize (that's what it's called in the catalog) ref 178234

Also, there is a chance that after the 1st real watch... the wife will suddenly be interested in watches.
Upside is we can talk watches together sometimes.
Argue about what is hot or not.
Downside is she might have a more in depth look and ended up asking for something like this...



One word... Kantoi... :P

true... as a WIS husband most probably you'll find a balance between bling bling and technology :Cheers:

Mind PM me how much and some details on the DJ?

when a wife flashes a JLC or something of the similar level... it indirectly reflects well on the husband too, no? ;D

The datejust retails for RM23k+
The discounts you can get varies.
And if you don't mind preowned I am sure you can get it at 15k or a little more.
This datejust model is one step higher than the cheapest datejust.
The cheapest one is a model without the fluted white gold bezel.
Difference in retail I believe is 4k.
And for a 10th anniversary gift, I would have to bring my wifey to the AD while she makes here choice within the specified budget of course...
Being a watch that she chooses, she will enjoy it even more since she picked it.
Rather than me buying a LNIB or pre owned piece at a cheaper price while she yearned for something else right?
So, imho... sakit sekali kao kao better than sakit sikit berkali kali... hahahaha

All stainless steel datejust without white gold bezel without diamonds RRP should be 18k+
Can still nego mah... DJ not like sports model.
Bring cash maybe can push down sikit.
But imho, girls will want a Rolex with AT LEAST a fluted bezel. They just like the bling.
If can afford diamonds, so much so the better.

Like I said bro, sakit sekali kao kao better than sakit sikit berkali kali... hahaha
You get her a pure stainless steel, later she bored liao, pester you at least fluted bezel, you lose when you sell and need to bleed more when you buy.

went to Hour Glass at the Gardens just now... looked at the watches around 15k...
PAM005/380, no stock, almost a year already :o
Airking quite ok discount... below RM15k... forgot to look at the Ladies Perpetual :HammerHead:
Omega AT ladies is less than RM15k...
Showed me a few Cartier ladies around RM10k...

well... the sales lady was a bit stuck up... gave me a feeling that i cannot afford buying... maybe because of my Tag :'(

but discount is definitely better than Sincere...
