Icon5 Best for a lady?
Whilst I ponder getting my Daytona my wife wants her first rolex. Most I have seen are TT yellow jubilee. She likes this with diamond dial. Any comments or other suggestions

Get her what she likes. That's probably a better idea than one of us telling you what she likes.

I bought my wife a SS fluted 31mm DJ with MOP dial with diamond markers ... she absolutely loves it.

Looks like this, it's stunning (not my pic)

My Wife's preference is the TT with diamond on Jubilee as she likes the hidden clasp and gold combo.

She does have 31 SS on Oyster with diamond bezel and dial however she seldom wears it.


Seems like she always reaches for one of her TT watches.

Thanks Neil :). Yes, I absolutely adore my choice. It truly is stunning in person! Helppedune, when choosing for your wife, be sure she sees the rose gold choices as well as the scattered diamond bezel. There are many options available that can fit the general description that she's given you. As a general rule, jubilee bracelets and fluted bezels are more dressy, whereas oyster bracelets with smooth bezels are more casual (unless you add diamonds, then it works both ways).

Take your wife to the AD and let her try on as many as possible. I have a DJ with diamond dials and I love it. This way, you are killing two birds with one stone: getting her a watch and diamonds.
