What do you recommend as Christmas watch for the beloved wife from a WIS?? I am not sure I can swing a solid gold Rolex with pearl dial!!  My wife is looking for a bracelet style watch with gold or gold accents, date and second hand function as she is a RN. She wants the dial to be clear and legible for a quick and easy read(white dial). If you want to post pictures of what you have gotten your wife that would be great!! The Pink Baby Lupah I bought her 5 years ago has gone south for the winter(crystal chipped and strap thrashed). The citizen eco I got her is a little to flashy. Thanks Guys and Gals for you help in advance.

Tissot T-ring automatic was what I gave. No numbers just indices but it's got date and second hand and sapphire crystal with display back. 2-tone nice watchhand6.gif http://www.thewatchery.com/watch.asp?Luxury_Watch_Model=11589&source=shopping&zmam=15161247&zmas=2&zmac=43&zmap=T97218331&

Delete that last post! :shock: Sorry ... was having a blonde moment! :P What was I thinking??  Now, what's your budget please? Also, does she like the traditional ladie's size, midsize or larger watch? And does she need a true nurse's watch - one with all the numerals or will 12, 3, 6 and 9 do? Or does she need any numbers at all? ;) :)watch2.gif

She would be fine with the numerals or numbers....normal ladies size, but maybe a mid size rolex.....price $2500. TY

... and here I thought I was way off budget! ;) :cool: Does she have a preference for an automatic or quartz or does she care? Or do you? ;) :D Would she like a white mother-of-pearl dial or does she want pure white? The pink Baby Lupahs had a silver dial. (if they were the ones on the pink strap) Would a silver dial be acceptable? Does she prefer yellow or rose gold? This is a Christmas gift ... do you need this right away or do you have some time? :)

aloy, Thank you for your help. I have until Christmas. I am thinking the dial could be either pearl or white. Automatics are fine and she loves yellow gold. TY

Morning SHADY! No thanks necessary ... happy to help! Glad you're not in a rush - I was up til 1:30 last nite doing a preliminary search. Those traditional nurse's watches are not easy to find in or with gold in that price range, especially in an automatic. But I will keep looking. :) (and hopefully some of the other members will have some suggestions as well :D) I checked out Rolex's site and didn't see anything, but I will call my jeweler who sells a ton of them. I'm assuming you want to buy online ... or would you prefer to make this purchase at a jeweler/retailer? One last question and this is crucial - do the numerals have to be Arabic or can they be Roman? Very important!!!! Thanks! :) Alina Last edited on Tue Nov 25th, 2008 12:07 pm by aloy |

Great recommendation Paul! ;) :cool: Ohhh ... diamonds are ok! That helps a lot! I assumed they weren't when I read that the Citizen Eco was too flashy! And it helps that Roman numerals are ok too! I have a friend who's an LPN and she only shops a chain's case of "Nurse's" watches that have ONLY Arabic numerals. K, I think I'm armed with all the info I need for the time being. I'll be pretty busy til after the holiday weekend. In the meantime maybe some of our other WIS brothers and sisters can help come up with some more recommendations as well!
