Hi Kyle.

My wife saw it while looking over my shoulder.

She doesn't like it, "It looks too big" she said. Needless to say I didn't argue with her.

I showed her the catalogue and she prefers one about 1/4 of the price!

We can all learn from this Kyle. You can never predict what a woman is going to thnk!

Firstly, my wife thinks I am hopeless WIS who has 2 wrists but 1/2 a dozen of watches. Secondly, she dont fancy bling2 nor expensive watches. Thirdly, she just likes her Maurice Lacroix that I bought for her when we first met =)

Now, where is my Ray Ban????

I must say that this and the other new 31mm TT with that bezel, are amazing. Not overly bling like some other of those masterpiece models. Just the right amount of bling for a lady.

It's nice, but a little more than my wife would wear. I do like it.

Fuuny you should say. I showed my wife all the watches from the 2010 basel fair and she has not changed her mind. She does not want to have a Rolex. I have offered to buy her one in the past but she and I are different when it comes to watches.

I'm not one for bling, myself, but this watch would look excellent of the wrist of a lady.

The VI might be extraneous, but it's not enough to spoil the overall effect.

While I understand why they do it, some of these press photos make it hard to fully appreciate the watch when they are photographed so close up. This one is ok, but the Chocolate dial one remains my favorite.

I disagree....to me, the VI pushes the watch over the edge. One detail too much.

I believe I was the first one to post about that watch (I was sort of going bonkers over it!) right after the press kit was released and the three video's were posted on this forum.

I'm glad others can see how unique, classy and versatile this Chocolate watch really is.

It's on my wish/grail/lust (whatever it's called) list for sure!

On this watch, with the full bezel of diamonds, I can see your point, but I don't find it offensive. On the Chocolate watch I think it balances out more so.
