Good Watch for a Wedding

I am getting married in a couple of months time and although I am more than happy wearing my Sub on the big day, my future wife (man, that sounds weird ) doesn't feel that her Gucci is suitable to be married in as it has a black face and black leather strap.



So what would you guys recommend would look good with her wedding dress. Not recessarily a Rolex, as I think it might be too chunky, but maybe something a little elegant.

Thanks guys

Congrats on getting married!

Get her this watch.

She'd probably find it a tad too big, but I will be happy to take the watch at half the price you paid should she not like it.

Is that the one with the face in the shape of a G? Thats spooky you should mention that as I was looking at one of those on Saturday pretty much idential as what you have described with the diamonds around the G and a pearl face. That is a possible contender. Cheers

Thanks Bo

I'm not too sure she'd go for the Sea Dweller, but I'd happily wear it

No recommendations about a watch for the future wife but my advice for you? Compromise, compromise, compromise.
Congrats on the wedding.

Get her something like this

1500 bucks or so.
Why is she wearing a watch on that day anyway? If she's checking the time during the ceremony or reception I'd say that's a bad sign.

i think...

I always liked the Reverso Duetto on women. Maybe it's the petite rectangular shape, or the glistening diamonds, or the fact that they are 2-faced!

Mmmmm feel the Tag may be a little sporty for a wedding.

Told her she didn't need to wear a watch too, that just a bracelet would do, but she's mentioned a watch a few times now.

Found this Pearlmaster.



Think that might do the job, but yet to find a cost for it

Wow, that does look quite nice. I think I like the bracelet the best. Nice detail and all WG.

Plan on it retailing around $37K and available "grey" for $27K. Pretty pricey.

Woah, I think it might be the Gucci, unless anyone knows anywhere I can get a good fake Especially as I can't get an Anniversary Sub, Daytona, Milgauss or the BMW I've got my eye on just now, I doubt I'll be getting her the Pearlmaster
