She'll absoluetly love it, no doubts what so ever, imo it's the prettiest / most feminine Rolex.

Very nice..my wife was reluctant to wear her new Rolex when I gave it to her. she thought it was too nice and expensive to wear. After a month or so she decided to keep it on and has worn it 300+ days and only has only had to adjust the time for daylight savings time change.


She'll love it

After 28 years of marriage I'm not so naive to believe she will like anything I buy her, but then again, I also don't post anything on the computer I don't expect her to read. I have a feeling you will be finding out real soon if she likes it.

Interesting question, you would think she would love it, or at least I thought mine would last year...
I had bought my better half a SS ladies DJ with a coral dial. I was so excited to give it to her, I could barely wait the three weeks until Christmas!
When the day finally came I was just about bursting with excitement, and then she opened it... Her reaction wasn't quite what I expected, she liked it, but I guess "Rolex" isn't the same for her as it is for a WIS like me?
She is the most unpretentious down to earth person I have probably ever met, so I don't really know how to explain this, but I think to her jewelry is something a bit more sparkly and shinny? She's not at all flashy, but I think maybe a Cartier or something a bit more feminine looking would have been more up he alley?
Again I am only speaking from my experience, so I don't want to discourage you, your wife may fall over when she sees it.
Women are different from men I've learned, maybe someday I'll remember it.

It's a beautiful thought..and a good looking watch. Of course...impossible to say whether she'll love it as you hope if we know nothing of her and any relationship with the watch/Rolex....but my wife was blown away when I bought her a DJ.....but I was cautious and did lots of sly testing!!!

Key words here, "cautious" & "sly testing", that you should heed! You never said if she actually likes Rolex design. No question about it, the watch is a beautiful piece and quite feminine. But, if she doesn't like the Rolex "look", well you might find yourself to be the only smiling face in the room.
