One for the wife !

Bought/traded a few Rolex watches this past year and felt a little for not getting something for my wife ........

I knew it had to be a "lady" DJ with a white dial but wasn't 100% sure about the bracelet; Jubilee or Oyster?

The 26mm was out of the question; tooooo small, even for my wife's tiny wrist!

So I finally went with the 31mm with a white Roman dial on Jubilee, and a Jubilee without the fluted WG bezel is a waste, IMO, ...
I thought it was GORGEOUS.... The Jubilee with hidden clasp is a work of art and very feminine

Happy ending....My wife LOVES her new watch

what I found to be a little odd was that the price difference between the 26mm, 31mm and 36mm DJs is something like 100$
(same configuration, just different size)

Maybe they don't want "plus-size" women to feel segregated from more "petite" women or vice versa...

Looks great! I bought my wife a similar model recently. I tried to get her to go for the 31mm/Jubilee but she insisted on the 26mm/Oyster. Oh well...her watch and it does look good on her.

I got the same one except for the jubilee bracelet. My wife complains that hers is too heavy! Good thing is that you can choose what looks best on her without worrying too much about price differential. It's nice for us not to forget about our wives!

Great watches for your wife(s)! Both bracelets look great! Oyster looks more sporty, but still can dress up depending on her other accessories. I guess the oyster would be more versatile on that regard. On size, I guess guys are more willing to pay for things that proliferate.

Nice!!

Been trying to get a Rolex for my wife for years - she doesn't wear a watch. I'm not complaining!

I just bought a Rolex for my wife. It's not here yet. My daughter is certain that my wife will love it and has generously offered to wear it if my wife does not like it.

great watch. I treated my wife to the same 31mm, jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel - she loves it too. Can't beat that combination.
