Watch suggestions for the wife?

So my wife is interested in getting a “man style watch”. We were at the AD the other day and she tried on a 14060 and loved the way it looked on her wrist. I must say I was also surprised by how fashionable this traditionally male worn watch looked on her delicate wrist. Being that she’s not really a watch person and this would be here first time really wearing one, she thought the price of the sub was too much to pay for an experiment. Yes, of course I told her that if she didn’t like it she could give it to me but since she just a few days ago bought me an 116710, I felt it best not to push the subject...yet. My question to you good folks is what kind of sport watch would you suggest she look into? Her quoted limit is $500-$700. She’d like something made of SS and that has the rugged look of the sub. Hopefully if she likes the watch I can one day sell her on the Subc. Fingers crossed.

Thanks

Nice. Keeping within the budget.
