I agree w/ MartinCRC. A real dive watch 35 - 37mm not a fashion accessory. Having said that I think it would be a narrow market...

You are absolutely correct, a watch created as a "real" dive watch for women would be a very narrow market, the women I know that are into watches are into them for the fashion statement and the ability to accessorize with something cool on their wrist.

Ralf has the WIS side of the business more than covered with his great designs, exceptional quality, and unbelievable CS.

Creating a watch for the ladies that is a fashion statement would be good business on his part....I'm sure most of us here would buy one for the ladies in their lives, I know I would.

It can be in the "dive watch" design, but a quartz, with maybe a MOP dial, changeable straps in 38mm - 42mm range for a couple hundred bucks....I think it would sell like crazy!!!
