Some of the remarks can be considered rude, degrading and totally uncalled for.

If a lady decides to wear a man-sized watch, there can be ONLY ONE damn reason for that - 'cause she happens to like it!!

To chuck in sexual innuendos is totally inappropriate and disrespectful to the wonderful ladies who visit this forum.

I know at least one very fine lady who owns 3 men's models and is very proud of them.

So, guys.....let's just keep it clean and green.

Thank you - JJ

Glad I didn't see this thread earlier... some of the replies are pretty upsetting!

Well, I wear a men's Rolex (and Breitling) because I like the way they look on me, simple as that. The Rolex women's models are WAY too small for me and too dainty looking. I like a young and funky look. Also, Rolex doesn't make any sport models for women (besides the YM).

There's a lot to be said about a woman who can pull off a 40mm and look darn sexy doing it!

Hi! Thank you for the welcome!!

I had to remove three links from it,still a touch on the large size,but the watch doesn't swing round so it won't incur any damage to the movement

Mmmm,pics..........I have just done a couple yesterday for another forum I'm a member of,same format as here...let me give it a go

^^^^ Yay!! It worked,pics came out massive though,they come out as thumbnails on the other forum then you click on them and can make them bigger....at least they are there though! I put a pic of my GMT 2 up to,that has to have three links out to fit me also,but with a watchmakers screwdriver its no big deal.

Jen, I appreciate that we have another outspoken woman who will call the miscreants to the carpet when necessary.

By and large, nearly all of the fellows here are great guys, though!

The pics look great! Thanks for letting us take a look.

Gotta agree, they just go together like watch-on-wrist, so to speak. Looks fantastic. And who made the rule that women's watches should be small anyway? Certainly doesn't make much sense, when bigger look better.

TheVTCGuy · 23 March 2009, 03:27 AM

Jen, Karis, Lisa, JJ... and the rest, all of you are SO right! A woman wears it because A: She likes it. Or B: She likes it or maybe... C: She likes it. It's not a sexual come on or a statement to men that she is a power-chick or... or anything else.

That being said, and not tying to eat my own words, but I find it EXTREMELY attractive when a woman wears a men's Rolex. It says to me she makes up her own mind, maybe a tad bit unconventional, but doesn't adhere to what the industry states she must wear (i.e. a "Ladies" style watch). To the laides on TRF, if you wear men's model Rolex's, YOU GO GIRLS!!!

Paul B · 23 March 2009, 04:15 AM

I think many women (not all) wear a large man's Rolex for the same reason that they wear those big purses covered in logos, or sun glasses with huge logos; the need to display price tags.
I don't know if you've ever seen some of these women, but they have more brand logos on them than a NASCAR driver!

There are some very insecure people out there (men too), many feel the need to adorn themselves with branded merchandise as a display status and importance, very sad, not all but some...

My 02 cents,

Paul

londonbagpuss · 23 March 2009, 04:42 AM

Great watch Dinky!! Thanks for posting them! I also saw a great thread started in another forum about this!

londonbagpuss · 23 March 2009, 04:45 AM

PaulB I think you are wrong totally with the logo, big watch thing. You cannot claim a lady that wears a watch a few mm bigger than a "ladies" watch is trying to show off, completely wrong. Actually the really high priced bags like the kelly and birkin running into many thousands have the smallest logo possible.

I like mens sized watches, due to the chunky nature mainly.

unclesallie · 23 March 2009, 04:47 AM

not sure why women (as a group) do what they do. however, i know that women in europe went to the midsize and then the large watches way before the u.s. women did....likely is a variant of personal psychology(whatever that tragically hip coded nonsense message means).

SOMEBODY call James, I need HELP.

James, can you prescribe some meds that will help?

Chozn1 · 23 March 2009, 05:23 AM

My wife liked wearing my white Milgauss when I had it and it looked great on her. Whatever floats their boats I say. I certainly don't want them telling me what to wear so I'll return the favor.

Sure isn't the case with me, Paul. I have a great disdain for logo displays of any kind. I cannot see the friggin' dial on most ladies watches as I am getting farsighted in my middle age. Nuff said.

betrezra · 23 March 2009, 07:21 AM

I got my wife a lady-dj and she loved it, (Until I got my Seadweller, and my TTSub, and my GMT).......then she tried on the 1680 Sub...... and said "I like this better"....

So we got her a SS Sub, and a GMT II...... and she wear's them all well. She saves the lady-dj for more formal engagements..... and wears the GMT-II and SS-Sub daily in a corporate environment.

IMHO - it depends on the woman. She has to be able to pull it off. IMHO a 70 yr old bee-hive hairdoo retiree might have trouble pulling the look off as much as a 18-40yr old lady.

All IMHO.

....

Also think of how repulsive the opposite situation would be....... a man wearing a lady-Date-just with diamond bezel........ fruity pebbles :)

Not saying I disagree with you, but I've brought up that point in the past when this topic comes up. What does it say about culture, society, norms, or what have you: Man's watch on a woman is hot, accepted, sexy.... but the reverse is comical and perverse?

Just thinking out loud. I don't know the answer, either!

mixedccr · 23 March 2009, 07:59 AM

My GF has my SD on her wrist b'cos
1. Loves the classic design
2. A 'fashionista' that trends towards 'larger' accessories
3. Was told that if ever we were to get married, the SD and my DS would be an engagement 'ring' set and that it would be hers.

Mr Sandman · 23 March 2009, 09:15 AM

My wife likes the smaller watch but if she wanted a Sub its her choice...I dont mind either way....So its all cool with me.
