Why do women like Men's Rolex models?

[Watch Professor]

Some Rolex models (Exp) wear smaller. Also, more functional. My wife has a chrono in ladies size where the dials are impossible to read. Others with date functions are too small to read. Another reason is that many more mens watches are mechanical while more womens are quartz.

I think it is temporary think in line with Men's desire for larger watches, though I think that the latter fad will last longer.

I'm seeing most of the men's rolex models on women's wrists way more than I see those other brands. Actually, when it comes to those other brands, I see the women wearing the women's models, not the mens. It can't be price because IWC/Omega are priced lower than Rolex.

Actually, the only other brand I can compare to Rolex, as far as how attractive their men's models are to women, is Cartier. Cartier's men's models are also very popular with women but it's easy to see why since they're very stylish and fashionable. I would never have put them in the same category as Rolex, which I believe, makes understated working watches. Yet, they're making a big splash with women.

Does anyone have an idea why this is?

I think they look good. I know that my wife has tried on some men's models as well as new DJll and she loves the difference. To each his own --or her own!
