We are all aware of the trend of women wearing larger men's watches, and I'd like to buy something like that for my wife for Christmas. What have you all seen or done that works well, in terms of a men's watch for a woman?

I have everything listed in my sig. I love them all but the 16610 gets the most wrist time followed by the TT YM rose and chocolate dial. You can’t go wrong with any 40 mm

Thank you!

There are watch sizes. Not really watch sexes. I wear a size 5 wedding ring and a 6 1/2 medical glove. My hand and wrists are small despite how my pictures look. The low profile Yacht Master and Daytona are more comfortable than the BLNR. The older subs fall in between in comfort.

My daily is the 16610 Sub. I have a 26 mm date just that I never wear. Some of the guys here are very opinionated about what’s male and what’s female. I say if I can buy it and I can pull it off then why not.

My husband isn’t into watches and wears a $500 Seiko. It’s funny and a little sexist when people assume I’m wearing his watches.

Well said. Bummer to read many of these narrow minded comments. 5 digit subs, gmts and Daytonas are super universal for many genders and body types. 11610lv and 116520 are my picks. And ya awesome taste.

Thanks! Can’t wait to show off the Hulk when I get it! My AD wants me to buy the Red Sea Dweller but not sure I can pull of 43 mm.

Some crazy lady watchnuts on here! I've only ever met one in real life. :(

I am a WIS for sure. My grail used to be the Platona buy I really want a Jaeger LeCoulter Turbillion.

superstarmar · 3 December 2017, 03:43 PM

5 digit Sub or 6 digit Ceramic depending on wrist size!
Daytona , Explorer 1 snd Yachmaster 1...

mangoseed · 3 December 2017, 04:11 PM

Does she have the wrist size of a man? If not it is a bit like buying shoes 4 sizes too big, just unnecessarily uncomfortable.

YM would be my pick although my wife would never wear a big watch.

YMs come in 37 and 35...you can source 29s too. It’s an amazing reference.

Torque Time · 3 December 2017, 05:48 PM

Take her to your local AD and buy the lady whatever she wants. If she is like most wives, she puts up w our CRAP and deserves more than we could ever possibly give them.

Open the check book and just smile as you write the check!

Merry Christmas!

Allanmodel · 3 December 2017, 06:00 PM

I'd saw many females wearing daytona~~

Ruud Van Driver · 3 December 2017, 06:21 PM

First of all, I assume you've ascertained that she actually wants a man's watch? What if she's on a women's shoe forum right now and asking what's the best pair of ladies shoes with 6" heels to buy for her husband? Secondly, much depends on the size of her wrists. I see huge Rolex, AP and Panerai divers on spaghetti wrists here all the time; I don't think it's a good look but as long as they're happy.

If she's happy with a man's watch then go either YM or Daytona. I've seen both worn by women and they can look pretty cool.

PascalSwiss · 3 December 2017, 08:20 PM

Best men's watch for women ?
Don't you think there's something wrong with this question

HK Islandboy · 3 December 2017, 08:41 PM

116610LV.

I’ve also seen a number of petite ladies pull off wearing YM IIs - and they looked great

Mirx · 3 December 2017, 08:44 PM

My favourites: 16610, 116200 (any dial) or any Daytona.

Gerardus · 3 December 2017, 09:06 PM

114200 ak

enjoythemusic · 3 December 2017, 09:07 PM

36mm DateJust. Wife loves her frankenwatch (she chose it) and it was only about $5k. While many here might be taken back by non-Rolex items such as dial and the case being modded, my wife simply LOVES this watch and it looks/works great. Remember, this is to make YOUR WIFE happy, not you or some illusion that you might wear it. You're buying it for your wife, not you.

Happy Wife
Happy life
