Help - Rolex for a Female Millenial

[Zakalwe]

If I were gifting my daughter a gold watch, it’d be a Cartier Tank (£7.5k new, and I’m guessing it’s a similar price in dollars, since that seems to be the way prices for such stuff works, rip-off Britain etc etc). Downside is it’s quartz, but if she’s a normal person she won’t care and in fact if she’s anything like the women in my life she’ll welcome not having to reset the time all the time.



A couple of other options close to your budget from Omega and Longines below, chosen for the differing styles - I don’t like either of them but then again female millennial style isn’t my specialist subject. As has been mentioned, you won’t get a Rolex anywhere near your budget unless it’s a “Rolex” or a RINO and you definitely won’t get a solid gold chronograph from any brand without shelling out a metric f-tonne more.

At your your price point interest, I’d probably steer clear of trying to pick up a solid gold option for her. And two tone is actually making a come back on younger men and women. I’m in Columbus OH and see a lot of younger people sporting 5 digit datejusts.

She does not want SS and she says the two-tone looks like it is for old people (like her Dad!). I do not want to spend much more than $5k - which is the real challenge! I have found some all yellow gold Datejust and Presidents from the 80's and 90's in my price range but I have yet to see one in person. She currently wears a fashion gold chronograph and something similar would be good. Any ideas are welcome - Rolex and non-Rolex.

Thanks

Not only does he refer to my child as "ungrateful and a princess", he tells me how appreciative his child is. What a judgemental idiot!

Agreed …………………………… it is quite perplexing how one could arrive at such ridiculously ludicrous conclusions based solely on written words on a public forum ! It seems as though my reading comprehension and social interaction skills crashed at the intersection of surreal reality.


Please accept my apologies, good luck with your search, and do enjoy the bliss of gift giving !

Honestly, rather buy her something for a milestone with an increased budget. Or when she realises that jewelry doesn't need to be gold coloured.

Millennial and full gold. Oxymoron of note

Full gold is more for the older generations. It's a generalisation for which exceptions like you are always around.

Post pictures. I've never been into gold, maybe two tone but everything is steel for me.

here in nyc the majority of young people are wearing gold plated jewelry. maybe in other parts of the world what you say is true but not everywhere. take a look at all the young celebs and pro athletes and you'll see a lot of them are wearing gold and these are the people with all the instagram followers. we live in a bubble here with the SS mania, its completely different on the outside. the nba draft was 2 weeks ago and you had 19 yr old kids showing up with day dates instead of whatever hype'd SS models

and here's a pic

I'm not that much older but have never looked up to social media folk.

The SS craze has created more demand for PM pieces and what you describe makes sense. At least one can walk into a store and buy one.

When a query is posed, we best just answer it directly without preaching.

Tell her Paris Hilton's sister, Nicki, wears a black dialed Milgauss. Clear crystal. Looks great on her!!!!! You are going to have to at least double your 5k to get something good in all gold.

[vesnyder]

Thanks for most of your responses! Helpful.

My niece who is 28 just bought the new Rootbeer. It looks fantastic on her.
Your daughter might want to check the new TT GMT (Rootbeer)

I still don’t have a clear answer on whether this gift is something the daughter is truly pushing for or if the father is projecting what he’s passionate about onto her.

But, here’s a very good option for a fashionable lady who likes gold:
