Blue 16233 Datejust for wife?

[Matt.1]

Hi All

I'm looking to buy my wife a Datejust from her birth-year as she'll be turning 30 soon. She's only had cheap watches before and I know she'd love something special.

After a bit of shopping around, it turns out it's tricky to find the right watch in 'mint' condition, with box & papers.

I can't post links yet, but Watches of Distinction have a 36mm 16233 TT, fluted bezel and blue dial. I spoke to the shop who described the watch as being in perfect condition with almost no stretch on the bracelet, this is due to being locked in a safe for most of its life. It's got everything; papers, box, original receipt and spare links. Apparently the dial is blue with a slight purple hue, the picture on their website doesn't show the colour very well but I guess it must look like this:

First of all, at £4195 do you think the price is fair? I tried to negotiate a little on the phone, but the seller wouldn't budge, assuring me that this was the cheapest I'm likely to find. Looking on Chrono24 and Watchfinder, he seems to be right.

Secondly, can I have some opinions on the watch and whether you think it would suit a ladies wrist? She's used to larger watches as she used to wear Michael Kors and such. She spotted this Tag Heuer which is 39mm, but was put off because it is quartz and wants automatic. Here's the Tag:

Since the Tag is very blue and she has another blue strapped watch, it makes me think she'll like the blue face of the Rolex. I love it, but will she?

I've left a refundable deposit to hold the watch - going to have a look on Saturday.

What do you guys and girls think?
