watch for my wife

Which Rolex should I get my wife for her bday? Any pics would be great. She has a skinny wrist but currently wears a larger watch. Thanks

I let my gf try on my GMTIIC.

That was a mistake. She loved it so much she said, "now THIS one looks good on me" :)

You'd be surprised how many women love our mens sports models. Just have a peek at the 'Rolex celebrities' thread to give you an idea.

Which one does she want?

Everytime I have tried to pick out a watch for my wife, I have been dead wrong. I suggest you take her shopping and let her pick it out.

There are loads of photos on this site of women's wrist shots of watches. Have you looked at those?

What does she like or want?

Dress or casual?

My wife prefers a SS or white gold for casual. She likes a TT for dress, as it allows her more options for matching up her other jewelry to her watch. She has both white and yellow gold jewelry. She likes the two tone in that she can mix and match and have it all look good.
