If it is the bezel you are interested in, have you considered a Yachtmaster? They come in 29 mm (ladies' size), 35 mm (mid) and 40 (mens). I believe a Turn-O-Graph is 36 mm. They have two-tone models as well.

While the watch you showed is an attractive watch, it also looks a little too masculine for my tastes. Obviously, it depends on your wife's style and taste, if she likes the "stick" hour markers or "dots" like the Yachtmaster/Submariner, etc.

I have worn the ladies' stainless steel/platinum Yachtmaster for more than 9 years. I love the rotating bezel, and use it daily. In fact, I'm timing mashed potatoes with it right now.

That TOG is a beautiful watch. I like how the red date and seconds hand pops out on the dial.

Boopie I think is right, have her try on a YM. I bet she loves it. I recently got my wife Boopie's watch, the SS/Plat YM 29mm and its on the way now!

Of course the SS/Plat YM is a sport watch and I think is suitable in any setting. I think I like how the red "YACHTMASTER" and the red seconds hand just stands out in front of that platinum dial. Beautiful! I digress.....One of the reasons my wife likes it is because she can dress up with the watch or wear it to the grocery store too. She also wears alot of silver and torquoise which would match very well.

Best thing to do is take her to an AD and have her try some on.

IMO, Turn-O-Graph and YM is the most ugly design in Rolex.

They're both beautiful watches and I'd be proud if you bought me either one. I prefer the 40mm YM.

I think she'd be crazy not to like it. Than again, the TT YM in the mid-size looks great, especially with the blue face. JMO.

Walter, the TOGs are very nice models, in my opinion.

I tried one on with a black dial, which also looked good, with a jubilee bracelet.

The model you have in mind, with the oyster bracelet, will be a perfect watch for your wife and I would choose the white dial for her

I'm sure she'll love it

Z sub is right, we all have different tastes, but respect someone else's opinion. If you don't have something positive to say, even something as simple as "good luck with your decision" then don't say anything at all.
