My wife has finally got the "bug" and would like a Rolex! She's looked at the ladies datejusts and finds them too small. What are some ideas that you may have for her 1st Rolex? I would watch this forum as there are many trusted sellers here. Thanks for any ideas that you might have.

Well they do a 26mm and 31mm ladies DJ or the boy sized 34mm OP,and there are the ladies Yachtmaster 29mm and a mid size 34mm which they class as 35mm in a sports type watch.

There ya go.

'Bout to get one for my spouse - 35mm YM is what she likes best.

Daytonas seem to be the rage nowadays for the ladies...

2Belles · 15 October 2012, 02:27 AM

My DH recently chose one for me that I LOVE....it's a 31 DJ with MOP face and diamond markers. It is the perfect size for daily wear and dress occasions.

quito · 15 October 2012, 02:41 AM

36 mm datejust. It looks great on a lady's wrist.

I'd check out the YMs like our wise one has suggested

31mm DJ.. I bought my wife a 26mm & I wish I would have bought her a larger one. Oh well another present I guess.

versatile1 · 15 October 2012, 04:15 AM

34mm Date.

bgriz · 15 October 2012, 04:43 AM

Bought my wife a 31mm datejust a couple months ago, she likes. Perfect size.

gwalker · 15 October 2012, 04:52 AM

Check post #2 here. There are pics of my mothers 3 rolex DJs and my wife's new DJ. All are 26mm. I LOVE my wife's new one with the Pink dial. I think it's the best looking ladies dial choice. It's a big purchase so make sure you get the size she wants. I tried to get my wife into a 31mm but she hated them. She's tall at 5'9" but the watch honestly looks great. I'm not a huge fan of the women in larger watches fad.

the Daytona on Women is HOT!!

sdg1871 · 15 October 2012, 05:00 AM

Rose gold Daytona FTW!

GED · 15 October 2012, 05:13 AM

DJ 31mm fluted with jubilee.

Mat Allston · 15 October 2012, 06:05 AM

Here is my 26mm and my wrist size is 5.5 inches. You can get the exact same DJ in 31mm. I love the diamond markers.

35 mm TT YM

Hi!
Just a gal's opinion.. 26mm might be too small.. 34mm is probably too big.. I think that 31mm is just right!
Thanks Goldilocks..
If I was going to get a new watch.. I would get a midsize 31mm two tone stainless steel Datejust with a Oyster band.. smooth bezel.. silver or cream face with white stick markers.. or a white face with yellow gold roman numeral markers.

Dr. Robert · 15 October 2012, 10:33 AM

I got 26mm lady dj's for my ex-wives.

Doug T · 15 October 2012, 10:35 AM

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Now I've really got my work cut out. We'll look at all the ideas and I'll let you know.

crowncollection · 15 October 2012, 10:54 AM

31mm datejust

George Ab · 15 October 2012, 01:21 PM

My significant other wears a mens 36mm DJ and it works quite well. 31 mm is also a nice size. The mid-size YM is stunning.

sea-dweller · 15 October 2012, 01:29 PM

Get her a midsize Yachtmaster, sporty and not very common.

Agreed. Got my girl one and she loves it.

withthesword · 15 October 2012, 03:10 PM

Might I divert from Rolex and suggest a Tudor Claire de Rose?

My wife has a lady datejust but is totally in love with the Tudor. Maybe your wife might like it too? And more affordable to boot :)

shocken2 · 15 October 2012, 05:43 PM

Another option is the 34mm airking. Espeically some of the cleaner-dial models look really classy. The black dial with just stick markers is one of the best looking Rolexes ever made.

BCNJ · 16 October 2012, 02:00 AM

My wife wears a 34mm vintage datejust and a 40mm Panerai 119. She's going back and forth now between a Sub LN and a YG DD 36mm. I think the sub on a woman is awesome.
