Hello all -- Never got around to posting a wrist shot of my wife's new watch. She had some hesitation because it's a bit smaller than her prior watches -- this is her first Rolex -- but the 35 mm. YM just seemed too big. This is the 29mm. She has very small wrists. Anyway, here's a wrist shot, and I think some stickers still remained. Oh yeah -- I think she likes it now, or at least that's what I pray.

Looks great on her, Chuck!

Looks perfect on her wrist.

Awesome female watch, looks great on her!

kcmo · 29 September 2010, 02:01 AM

It looks great, but I think the 35mm would work too!

Agreed, looks very nice, and also agreed that the 35mm would work. I wonder, though, if part of her aversion to that watch was the weight. The YM is pretty solid and feels pretty substantial vs. other similarly sized watches.

Find a nice NOS AK/OPD in 34mm, and that issue is gone.

Of course it depends on what SHE wants. Who picked it? If she wants a larger watch, why not get that for her?

My daughter, for instance, is very buff and strong. She works as a firefighter and dresses in 'bunker gear' for her job. Thus, she wants something 'feminine' on her wrist when she's not working, so I got her a 26mm Lady Oyster Perpetual. But I think she's becoming the exception. More and more women are going to larger watches these days, and it's a sexy look.

Just come out and ask if she would prefer the 35mm model. Heck, she may even want the 40mm!

ParisDakarBmw · 29 September 2010, 02:28 AM

It looks better to me than the smaller watches. She will love it! She has a sweet watch, and should grow to enjoy the new size.

Gerardus · 29 September 2010, 02:30 AM

Perfect!

dddrees · 29 September 2010, 02:33 AM

Excellent, Congrats.

TopNotchChach · 29 September 2010, 03:17 AM

nice! sorry i was also distracted by her rings. :)

I dont know how old your wife is but ive seen some young women wear subs and i think its really neat. just looks hip IMO

Tunacan26 · 29 September 2010, 03:24 AM

Just turned 46, but would pass for 32. And yes, no doubt, big watches are super cool on woman.

steubi1 · 29 September 2010, 04:19 AM

That looks great, Chuck!

The size of the watch fits perfect with her wrist size. And the watch is beautiful!

I never understand how and why a girl can wear a Sea-Dweller or a Deep Sea; it simply looks odd to me, but that's just my personal opinion.

The only (mens) watch I think looks good on a woman's wrist is the Daytona, it is an elegant and more "feminine" watch.

Looks really great, very subtle and elegant!

RolexV3 · 29 September 2010, 05:27 AM

looks good to me, tho I agree with karis, 35mm midsize would also look good
and platinum yacht is one of my fave models..

GradyPhilpott · 29 September 2010, 06:27 AM

It looks good to me, but I'm not big on the gargantuan watch look.
