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)

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.

This seems like a contradiction. If she likes big watches, why does she require a "ladies" diver?

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...

Omega ladies PO or SMP dive watch and check out the Seiko ladies diver models too.

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

Yeah sorry, I was a little drunk when I wrote this. I should have further clarified that she has pretty puny wrists, so a full size men's diver would probably look a little too big.

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.

Yes. Have her shop with you and get her what she wants.
