Pls suggest a watch you would buy for your wife

[Darkangel]

Wow!! Thanks for the heap of suggestion.. pai seh ah.. but can accompany the recommendations with some pix ah?? Like Nooch and Darkie like that?? That way easy for referencing and keep on searching until I blur.. cos there are a number of variants.. maybe extract the most "pretty" ones that you would guess will cost less than S$15k??

You want pics...here you go...more poison!

Bluedevil, u damn farny leh.. But I know what you mean lah..

Well the reason why I want to dictate the reliability of the movement as a higher priority above cosmetic appeal of her's is bcos I know very well :
1) she is not one who will look after the watch
2) If I am spending the $$ on a good watch, I should target one with reliable and good movement, so to make investment a worthy one + I hope to get something befitting of a heirloom to pass on to my daughter... A Chopard personally do not qualify. Its a designer watch and I feel will not last the decades.
3) I know girls want watches that are pretty.. but my woman is no longer interested in the "fashion" look but moved on from her girlish taste to a more lady / woman taste (not aunty taste hor).. aiya.. when you get married, have kids, you will probably know the difference between yr wife when she is a mother than when she was your GF...

Thats why Rolex / Patek seems to capture that part of the market well.. Nevertheless, I am not writing off something that is pretty but still exquisite and reliable.

But I appreiciate yr inputs nonetheless.. When I am writing my reply to you, I sort of understand better why I am not too inclined towards designer type of watch.

So you intend to get her
1) something she wants
2) something you want but you cant wear
3) or something you want her to want?

Most of us will pick a Rolex ah, I also dont understand what's the big deal with designer boutique watches. But girls want watches for the "pretty factor", i feel.

Chopard Happy Sport, u dont pay for the quartz mechanism, but for the superb workmanship surrounding the exquisite dancing diamonds. If u tilt it really slightly, it will spin and dance. No one could replicate that.

My gf's first chopard was a nightmare, but she still like Chopard. And she still got another Chopard for herself in the end. Take a look at Happy Sport Mark II, with MOP dial, and 7 diamonds, after less, only 6K. And got upgrade possibility; she intends to add a heart.

Another nice watch is the El Primero Glam Rock with the open Star. My gf likes that too
