Lady Date Just Alternatives

What crazy times. Even a LDJ has a wait and is out of stock at virtually every AD.

Anyway, fair is fair. In the last year I got my BLNR, Speedy SS 3861, and my GS SBGM221 is about two weeks away. It's my wifes turn.

She honestly doesn't care about "Rolex", but I know exactly what she likes, and thought a LDJ or smaller DJ would be the wisest purchase (and I won't lie...it adds to my purchase history). However, with the state of the industry and being somewhat time limited, I need to look at alternatives.

Musts:
1. Two tone watch ...she likes yellow and rose about equally. The watch doesn't need have a bracelet, she is fine with a nice, elegant strap as well.
2. Diamond Bezel
3. MOP Dial
4. Around 15K retail
5. At LEAST 32mm (28 too small)

Bonus:
1. Maybe a few diamonds on the dial
2. Diamond Markers
3. Roman Numeral Markers (As few Arabic Numbers as possible)
4. 34mm or maybe even 36mm depending on the watch.

She saw a Lady Serenade from GO that she adored the other day. The benefit is there are still substantial discounts to be had on many womens references from reputable brands. I know Omega has some compelling pieces in the AT line.

Assuming I can't wait for a Rolex, anything else you guys/gals recommend that meets all the "musts" whilst staying in my price bracket? Help would be greatly appreciated, I really don't know a whole heck of a lot about women's options. TIA!!!

Is she interested in a JLC Reverso? They are pure class, and there’s nothing else like it.

Ditto. JLC Reverso Duetto on bracelet. One of the nicest, most comfortable ladies watches on offer. It's a manual wind watch, but that can be an added pleasure, not a detriment. My wife has had one for about 15 years and it's a favorite within her collection.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll check out the JLC post haste.

JLC Duetto is my gf's favourite, we got the small model with navy strap. She also likes the Cartier Tank but that will come later
