Congratulations!!! Your wife will love the mid-size model.

Its all a matter of preference but I have observed a lot of women who favor the larger mid-seize models or even the gentleman's sizes for that matter, over the lady sized models.

Plus I think watches with a large case diameter look really great on women!

Especially watches like the Sub or Daytona.

31 mm is really nice on the wrist. Wife loves it much over her 26 mm datejust.

Looks like your wife and Lisa will be kindred spirits... 31mm is a good size as eyesight changes w/time.

I hear that! My poor 26mm is lying quietly in its box, in the drawer. Not forgotten, but not getting any wrist time, either! You found a lovely watch (it looks a lot like my own!)
