#JOTW Show me your Luxury Watches!

[Fabtwinsmom]

My chunky sporty everyday go-to was a “happy promotion” present to myself. I also have a smaller dainty 2-tone that my hubs surprised me with for my 30th birthday/3rd baby push present.

Gorgeous combination of your watch and your ring. What size is your watch if you don’t mind me asking? I have a 31mm and thinking of going up to either 36mm or 41mm.

Hmm...I’m thinking it’s a 31mm. My wrist is small so it looks nicely chunky on my without being too big.

Either my wrist has expanded over time or my watch has shrunk (watch shrinkage syndrome). Lol. Enjoy yours in good health.

Here is one for the ladies

I am not a watch person (haven't worn a watch since high school except iWatch) so here is my mini contribution. I wanted something classy but very very simple (no date adjustment as that it too much work - I am already "forced" to wear them so that I don't have to wind them - also too much work ). I also love big watches so I originally wanted 36mm but SA said 34mm is better. Well, I still think I should have gotten 36mm but I must admit I love these as well.

This is such a classic look! Love it. If you don’t mind me asking, do you know how big your wrist is? I’m debating between the 34mm and 36mm as well, but they are difficult to find and try on!

Thank you! My wrist is rather small (I wear 6" bracelets and they can get loose as well). I know that 34mm is the biggest size for women and 36mm is where the men's sizes start. Overall, I am happy with the size, although I am used to bigger watches. I would suggest you try the size in the store (does not have to be the same exact watch as long as the size is the same) and see with what you are comfortable.

Hi Watch peeps, coming back to this thread because I'm seriously watch contemplating and just bought a piece I hope I can reveal tomorrow. Nothing serious, but for a girl with a super small wrist, (like 5.125 inches) it's hard to find a watch that I really like but doesn't look ridiculously huge on me. @cm_ls1 your watches are amazing. Thanks for sharing them.

@LLJsmom look forward to seeing your new watch. I'm sure it is beautiful as you have great taste.

Hi @HollyC thanks for your response. I do have a fews pics I can share. But I am having trouble with watches. I’m going to start a thread to ask for assistance. Any advice would be welcome.

I too had trouble picking out a watch. My first proper watch was the Vivianna Bangle watch from Georg Jensen for my 18th which I wore everyday. I decided to save and buy a gold watch, of course I tried on Rolex, Cartier, Omega etc - none of them spoke to me and I realised, watches to me, is a piece of jewellery. Bulgari released the Serpenti and that was it for me. Are you a watch person? Do you think you would want several different models?

I’ll create a thread in Jewelry Pieces and if you don’t mind, I would appreciate your help.

This came today. A vintage Cartier Pasha.

I’ve enjoyed looking at everyone’s watches! So I haven’t worn a watch for about 10 years on a daily basis. I work from home now so never wear one. I decided to get at least one nice watch for dressy occasions since I’ve never had a luxury watch before. It’s a Cartier tank francaise in the small size.



Hubby likes Breitling so this is his newest, a Colt, although I think it’s an older model. It was just sitting around in a jewelry store unloved in the sales section.




And this is a Breitling I bought him years ago for our 10th anniversary. I don’t know the model?

 

[MMtwo]

One more to the herd. This one is polarizing. I did not like it the first time I saw it and now I appreciate it. It is one of the watches that plays in the light. 34mm Tudor Royal.

 

[SandyK]

This is for @Tonks ! Stole my husband's Batman for fun (Terrible lighting - the blue color is awesome, I need to work on my photography skills...)

 

[WindyCitySparkle]

This fits your wrist perfectly. Like it was made for you.

 

[Angela1231]

My boyfriend's & my Datejust, and my Tank Solo bought 6 years ago.

 

[Catmom]

Hubby's new Omega Seamaster. He loves this watch, lol. It's a 43 so it's a big watch but then he's 6'4" so he needs a big watch.

DW wore her best Rolex out to dinner last night.

 

[Garnetgirl]

@prs what an incredibly gorgeous watch. The yellow gold looks very rich and the diamond bezel - WOW.

Thank you @Garnetgirl! If I remember correctly it is a 26mm Rolex President with factory diamond bezel, dial, and lugs. Here's a better photo.

Just an update. Thrilled to share this stunner. Oyster Perpetual 31 in turquoise blue. Got it today. My Rolex journey is now on its way. Don’t think it’s ending though…

Congrats @LLJsmom !! So happy for you -- love the color and that size is just perfect on you. Which one(s) are you thinking about getting next!!

Thanks @SandyK. I'm super happy with this. I would like to add a 31 SS and WG Datejust, with jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. I am happy to know what I want. The road to figuring that out has been long. I would prefer batons, but would be open to diamond markers. But no MOP face, no two tone, and must be cool tones. Rolex is still a big crap shoot. Not in a million years would I think that I would be offered this watch. I now realize that you just can't tell what can happen so stressing about it doesn't help.

Love your plan!! Then you will have the perfect two-watch Rolex collection - OP for a more casual look and the DJ for a dressier look, both of which look gorgeous on you! And the good thing is the DJ should be easier to get, ha (although maybe not to actually see in a store first).

*Edited to say oops, three watch Rolex collection, forgot about your other one. But you get my point

Thanks, yes that's the plan. The DJ is a little dressier. Yeah, you're right about the DJ being easier to get. Though I do know now that I would need to request it and not expect it for 3-6 months. This one was just a windfall.
