The Watch Thread - Part 5

[coern]

Hi all, been lurking here and reading for a long time and would like to seek your opinion. Thinking of buying wife a nice watch for her birthday. She likes rose gold watch, and don't mind more manly designs. Any recommendations? Budget up to 1k plus. Prefer mid range brand like Tissot etc

Thanks in advance!

I thjnk budget of $1k plus difficult to get brand new rose gold watch. Unless you mean plated gold and not solid gold case.

Is she hinting you for Michael Kors? I not sure but most girl friends I know don't really care if it is a watch brand or a fashion brand. They like certain brand and design and to them that is good enough. Unless you are pretty sure your wife are into watch brands if not she might be quite disappointed with brands that people here might recommend due to less popularity in that brand.

Hmm she into the looks but I would rather not pay for fashion brand. Yes, definitely not real gold. Cant afford ; )

Show her this. She says nice.

love the jubilee bracelet, so comfy.

Anyone got some 24mm Pam straps lying around? Interested to get some but can't really find any nice ones.

 

[a562140]

Was wondering if anyone else wears their divers on leather straps?

yes if i'm not wrong Shell Cordovan and Kodiak straps are resistant to salt water.

there was a discussion on Shell Cordovan in this thread, this is Kodiak, original supplier to Panerai: TC Straps | Shop By Category | Custom hand made straps for your Panerai and other Fine Watches| Original Kodiak 100% Waterproof leather Straps for Panerai

You should check it out there.

With that sort of complication it might be quite tough.

Try:
Hamilton,
Longines,
Seiko,
Orient,
Steinhart

Good luck! It's tough to get lady a present.

P/S: you should really find out if she is hoping for a Michael kors, they have really huge colllection of rose gold watches that are "manly" but small in design.

While we may be unwilling to pay for fashion brands, past experiences have taught me that it is always better to buy what the girlfriend will like and prefer even if it makes no logical sense to us.

the snzf15 "sea urchin" ... heres a review:
Seiko SNZF17K1 "Sea Urchin" Is Your Ultimate Submariner Styled Value Watch | aBlogtoWatch

note that its rated to 100m so not as hard core as the other popular seiko divers e.g. the skx007. the black bezel version for comparison (pic from google):

the pictures don't show it, but the relief between the bezel to the watch face is more obvious in real life.

not as popular with the modding crowd compared to the more popular seiko divers, less modding potential. but i like the design better, its dressier due to a "flatter profile", no need to mod.
