Seadweller for a Woman, Good or Bad Idea

My wife is thinking about a Seadweller. She has tried it on a few times and likes it but then wonders if the "man's" Rolex sport on a woman is just a fad.
She is an average size woman, 5' 6" tall and the correct weight for her height.
Also, I figure if she gets tired of it we can give it to my oldest son in a few years when he graduates college.

Help us decide here, what do you think, Seadweller for a woman, yea or nea?

Ask Jen. She has one and loves it. I would say it's fine for a woman.

Did she end up selling it? I know it was up in the air. But she wasn't going to sell it because of not liking it. She did like it.

Nay!

Nay! There are so many beautiful women's models to choose from! The Lady's Datejust is such a classic; and the Cellini offers many extremely feminine choices. I have a lady colleague that wears a Cellini Lady Danaos and it looks drop dead gorgeous! For a sporty look, she might like the Oyster Perpetual No Date: they have some really pretty dials with light blue and pink batons. The stainless bracelet and case make them very durable alternatives to gentleman's models.

The area in which my school is in is very expensive, and while I go out to lunch with my friends, I always see rolexes. On friday, I saw two women getting out of a Bentley. One had on a White SS daytona and the other had a submariner. Sheesh. Had to say the daytona looked great!

I voted no, but it comes down to what she likes. I tried one on but it sits so high off of my wrist that it would eat the cuffs of my shirts, which I suspect won't be a problem for her.

It is a heck of a watch though!!

I voted "No" for the most obvious reason.....

Hell, if all women started to wear men's watches, how the heck would the ladies models sell?

No no, I didn't sell it!

It's a great watch for certain women. I can't say it will work on all women. I love it on me.... she'll just have to go try one on and see how it works!

I don't have many full-body pics - but I'm wearing it here----

Depends on the woman: her appearance, dress, wrist, etc.

I believe a woman can make her own choice and if she wants to buy and wear a SD then so be it!!!

Get her the white Daytona or a YM and then buy a Sub
or DSSD for your son when he graduates.

I always thought small ladies dials were less than practical and after buying my mother a Lady DJ and presenting it to her only to have her say, "I can't see the time", I am convinced any larger size watch on a woman just works!

Here's the vote that Counts

Well she is very giddy and happy tonight.
She wouldn't let me post a full shot of her modeling the watch so you will have to settle for the wrist and hand.

Just took delivery of mine and one for my wife. She is very petite but loves big watches, it looks great on her. She also has a WG Daytona and a WG Patek with diamonds.

Good for you, my wife has just taken delivery of MY latest SD and loves it, the only problem is that she has had to buy (or I have had to buy her) another Daytona bracelet to adapt to fit her wrist.

She wore a Daytona until recently and she is now selling that to be replaced for a long time I hope by the SD.

I know that she has thin wrists but as much as we have tried we cannot get any other Rolex bracelet to adjust down to her size other than the Daytona, pity as they are so expensive.

And the reason she prefers it to any of her other watches, especially the Daytona is that she can have a quick glance at the dial and instantly tell the time, and it has a date.
