I am considering the YM SS & YG and trying to decide if I want the Lady YM or the Mid-Size YM. Any ladies out there have a Mid-Size Rolex? Do you like the size? Anyone know if the band on the mid-size can be sized to a 7 - 7 1/2 without removing links? Is the mid-size too big for a lady? Would like some opinions.

Thanks

Hi DD,

We meet up again!!

For starters, I personally do not like the mid-size (35 mm). I've always considered it a kinda inbetween size which is neither here nor there.

Probably one that's too big for a lady and too small for a man.

I'd much prefer the 29 mm lady's size which, in all fairness, is still the largest of the lady's models, the Datejusts being 26 mm and the no-date lady's being a petite 24 mm.

My wife wears a 29 mm and it suits her perfect....although I think she'd be still better off wearing a 26 mm DJ on her small wrists.

I think I'd advise the 29 mm and also go for the YG. Ladies do tend to wear a lot of yellow gold, so the TT YG would go well with virtually all jewellery.

Thanks - Can you explain the TT YG? Is that the all gold band? I was looking at the stainless steel and gold band.

TT = Two tone, i.e. steel and gold.

YG = Yellow gold.

This is a TT version...

Thanks - I didn't realize how much bigger the Lady YM was. I think I will actually like that size better.

Just so there's no confusion, the one pictured above is the full size 40 mm one!!

Here's my wife's 29 mm model...

ian.thomas · 9 December 2006, 12:16 PM

If your wrist is 7 - 7.5, I say go mid-size. I think the mid would look great on a woman, esp if it's a YM.

My wife wears a full DJ (36mm) and it looks great - the full size YM might be to big for you, but I bet the mid will be great.

Go try them both on and be open to both sizes.

DesertDogs · 9 December 2006, 01:08 PM

WoW! Now I like the Grey Dial too. Decisions, decisions. I just love shopping!

I'd agree with Ian...definitely try out the mid-size... wear them for a bit in the shop. It's alot of $ to end up with wrong size! Dont be afraid of the larger watch - LOTS of women now wear larger watches and have been doing so for along time. There's no rules!

The YM is a stunner, be sure to post pics of whatever you buy especially a wrist shot!

Cheers
Amanda

I thought the lady size YM was the perfect size watch for my g/f when she was shopping for one a few months ago. She bought the mid size YM, and I really didn't like it. I realized that I was wrong after a while. The watch really looks good on her wrist. See the pic

She's now wearning a 40mm Panerai, and you know what? It looks good as well.

JJ Irani · 10 December 2006, 03:28 AM

Hi Dolphin,

Yes, that watch does look good on her!! Thanks for sharing!

I didn't even notice the watch. I saw that she had a heart-on! :>

I agree that with that size wrist, you would be better off with the mid-size than the ladies. I have a 6-3/4 inch wrist or there abouts and wore a mid-size TT YM for a few years. Here it is:

amanda · 10 December 2006, 03:09 PM

Avalon that is a magnificent YM!! Love the white dial. I was eyeing one off in the AD at Crown Casino in Melbourne yesterday, I think it was the WG version with the silver dial... the red hands look great on it!! Expensive watch tho and way outta my league I am afraid!!!

I'll start saving for one now for my 50th b'day

DesertDogs · 10 December 2006, 06:49 PM

Thanks everyone for all the responses and pictures. I will let you know what I decide.

DesertDogs · 11 December 2006, 10:18 AM

OK JJ - The first name is Jan. I am 99% sure I will go with the mid-size. I hope to try one on soon. No ADs where we live (in the middle of the Sonoran desert - hence the name desertdogs) so have to wait until I get to a larger city. In the mean time I will keep looking at the pictures.

We can be your support group until then.

Mrs Mini was watching some show last night & they were talking about Xmas gifts for women.
The hot thing this year is Men's watches for women.
Mrs Mini was very pleased that she was ahead of this trend ( with her 40 & 44MM Panerai's)

Fiwi · 24 December 2006, 03:35 AM

Hmmmm. Now you've got me thinking about a mid-size. My DH always likes a woman with a large watch. Have you tried one on yet?

I have not tried one on yet but I bought a Fossil that is about the same size to see how I liked it and I have decided to go with the mid-size. I like larger watches. I think I will go with this one.

Good choice, Jan....but as long as you decide on keeping it. Resale on this 35 mm size is a real b!tch!!

Good luck, Jan.

Fiwi · 24 December 2006, 04:08 AM

Very nice! So when are you going to buy it? I just saw this one on ebay -- I'm the market for the ss/plat. If my DH had his way, I'd wear a 40mm! But I'm petite and I don't think I want something that big. However, I used to wear his GMT all the time and I quite liked the feel of a heavy watch.

What's in my avatar....and it's all wrapped up, Jan. It's Sunday morning here for me...so I have another 24 hours to go before I can open her up!!

DesertDogs · 24 December 2006, 04:14 AM

What? - You're not going to open it on Xmas Eve? Why wait - from what I hear you already opened it!!
