Opinion - Ladies Watch. Please & Thanks

I am scrambling to buy my wife a watch for Christmas.
I do not live near an AD, or anywhere that I can see anything in person.
In your opinion, would this watch be suitable for a "relatively normal" 43 year old woman?

Model is:
No Date Silver Dial 18kt White Gold Bezel Watch #177234SAPSO
(The picture is just for reference)

Thanks very much,

Looks very suitable to me. Check out one of the trusted sellers here. You can land a great deal and get the watch before Christmas.

"Relatively Normal" lol I love it!

Yes I would think that watch would be very suitable. However, I will say watches are kind of personal so no way to say 100% she'll wear it all the time.

Watches are very personal and many women consider them jewelry. That being said, I would let her pick one out even if you have to make a semi-trip out of it.

Agreed! I recently bought my wife her first Rolex. Glad I let her pick it out... I was wwwaaayyy off on what I was gonna get her originally. I'm sure she would still like whatever I get her but at least I know which one she would prefer. I thought she wanted a 31mm SS with black explorer-like dial OP because she told me before she wanted us to have matching watches and I have an explorer I. When I asked her to choose she ended up picking a TT 26mm DJ with champagne dial. When I asked her why that as opposed to what she told me before, she said she likes the matching watch idea, but she would prefer TT so that it will match whether she is wearing white gold or yellow gold jewelry.
