We used to have a fairly healthy "what watch are you wearing" or "what do you have" thread in the Lounge, but I haven't seen it in a long time. Is that something worth bringing back or starting up again?

Yes. Good timing, pun intended. I'm planning on getting my g/f a timepiece for either her birthday or Christmas. My budget's between $1 - 2$K. I would have a high budget if not for her birthday being 5 days before Christmas. Can you recommend any nice woman's watch in that range? BTW, she loves gold. I was thinking of getting a watch with a silver/gold band. Thanks.

Nope. I'm not a watch aficionado. Anyhow, I'm getting her a purse as well. I need to make her forget the amount of money I've dropped into both my 545i and E63.

VT, I know a thing or two about watches. Also my wife works at a high end jewelery store here in Minneapolis. She is actually starting to surpass my watch knowledge which is a bit emasculating. The store she works at sells: Raymond Weil, Baume & Mercier, , IWC, Rolex, Jaeger-Lecoultre, Cartier, Panerai/Ferrari, Patek Philippe. Omega, Breitling(just dropped the line), and Tag Hauer are a few they don't carry. Pricing is anywhere from $1000 to over $200K. I would spend a little more on a timepiece, rather than a purse. A nice piece typically doesn't depreciate in value and limited ones actually appreciate. My wife would rather have nice purses, she has a purse problem, which means I have a purse problem. As for me, I am into Panerai's at the moment. Rolex is nice but everyone has a Rolex. Patek is by far the finest but more than I am willing to spend. She has a Breitling. I am a little anti-Breitling at the moment and I actually went as far as to sell the three that I owned, service at Breitling angered me to no end. Let me know if I can help you at all, there are so many options out there. I don't have all the answers but she might and she would be able to answer purse questions.

Love Panerai. Question for you...does your wife carry Frank Mueller? I'm trying to source a very hard to find piece for my wife and having a very difficult time finding it. It's the Ladies Conquistador in Automatic. They make it in Quartz too, but I want the Automatic. I believe Frank Mueller only makes 10-20 of these watches a year. I'll hold off from displaying the price on this post, but PM me if your wife can get it and I'll tell you roughly what I'm willing to pay for it.
