not too much, no diamonds, but simple and elegant.

I am thinking midsize (31mm) - she has already said she would not wear larger one like 36 mm. Her mom has 31 mm in diamond dial.

1. What about the Oyster bracelet with Rhodium Floral? (she does not like pink, so out, or choc). I like it, but will a teen? I figure she can always swap the dial out down the road for silver, blue, black, with sticks or Romans? Seems modern to me.

2. Traditional, fluted WG bezel, sticks or Romans, in silver or white, maybe black.

Thoughts? I think the No. 2 would be something she would wear to fancy dress up events, but I think No. 1 is cool? What do I know as a DAD.

THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE - two sample pics of type I am describing.

If you are set on one of those two, the left watch be my choice for a teenager. That being said, I know few people (including myself) that would have properly appreciated a $6000 watch at 16 years old.

There are so many nice watches in the sub $1000 range, that you could buy a couple to last the next 2 years and make the Rolex a graduation gift. I was still immature at 18, but not anywhere close to how I was at 16. Just my.02.
