On the plane going to Mykonos a women in front of me reached up to grab something from the overhead bin and her white Daytona c popped out from under her sleeve. She must have saw my face light up when I saw it and she just smile back at me. Very sexy.

My SR at my AD wears a 116710LN and a friend of mine whose father recently passed wears her fathers sub. Both look great and both are petite women.

We have two couple friends of which one wife wears a gold DD with diamond bezel and the other wears a DJ 41!

I love the fact that women are wearing men’s watches!! The best I could do is to get my wife into a 37mm rose gold yachmaster on OF. She was against it at first but now she loves it. I think she’s ready to move up to 40 for her next watch.

Amen. God bless Italy! Gmt looks great with the ink.

Is your opinion that we shouldn't make judgements about what watch someone should wear exclusive to women? Are you equally riled up by those who make judgements about what men wear? This is a forum about what people like/dislike and what they think looks good. Opinions are going to be expressed. And not offering those opinions simply because an individual is a woman actually seems to be demeaning to women. The poster you tried to insult by labeling "1950s" very well may have had the same comment about a 40mm watch on a man's wrist if the man's wrist was the same small size as the woman's wrist.

Here we go again, "personal preference", blah blah. I suppose the proportions of a Michelangelo statue are no more beautiful than a 5th grader's mish-mash of a school project. Sure, sure.

Best looking watch couple on here! She looks great in the DJ.

I had a woman ask me (after complimenting my TT Sub) if it was a woman's watch.
I looked down at it and could see she was right and how dainty the 40mm Sub looked.
I will be replacing it soon with a TT SD43. Quite a bummer... Sigh...

My girlfriend has small wrists so 36mm is the upper threshold for her. I'm of the opinion that so long as a watches' lugs don't protrude over your wrist then it works, regardless of your sex.

My wife is skinny. She can pull off a 34mm through to a 45mm, no problem.

Who are you to tell her what she should wear?
Settle down, dingus.

The person with the watch looks like a child of indeterminate sex on this photo.

She is certainly beautiful but the watch looks absolutely sloppy and ridiculous on her. It simply isn't feminine.

Show me a pic of Roseann Barr or some other troll wearing one and then try and convince everyone it looks great.

IMO of course.
