Suggestion for a ladies diver
My girlfriend likes big watches, but I haven't found a ladies diver that fits the bill. Are there any suggestions? Save from just getting her a submariner?

Since she likes big watches have her look at the Serti dial subs. Some people think they're more of a ladies watch. (I expect to flamed for that one)

Mid size (or indeed full size) Yacht-Master
Or a 40 or 42 mm Panerai Luminor (on a rubber strap) You may find this thread useful: www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=240964

if she likes larger dive watches, there's way too many to suggest. almost every swiss company has and needs a diver in their collection.
i'd start here and visit the websites if a swiss only watch is a criteria. http://www.fhs.ch/en/links.php |

I assume you're looking for something bigger than the usual ladies' watch but smaller than most divers. You might consider the Seiko SKX013, which is essentially a mid-size version of the venerable SKX007. SKX013 on the left, SKX007 on the right. |

Omega's 37.5mm Planet Ocean might be what you're looking for...

My Wife wears an Omega Seamaster Pro 36mm (mid size mans) and she loves the size.
Looks great on her |

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I think she should go with the ladies PO, especially since I'm getting the SMP. I don't want to be watch twins. |

I'm sorry but confused as to what I ought to suggest. When you say "Ladies" it usually means a smaller size watch. But you say she likes bigger ones.

I think a planet ocean would be nice for her.
