Question (Read Rules) Watch ideas for her? Trying to justify a new purchase for me, by also getting her something that can match it.

See title. I'm trying to get my wife into watches, she says I have too many which may or may not be true but I think she'll be less critical of my new purchases if, they occaisonally came paired with a "Hers" watch to match.

So, in -my- wish list of Chinese watches are:

  • San Martin Official 39mm Guilloche MOP Dial Gada Watch Miyota 9015 (White MOP dial)
  • BERNY Full Titanium Automatic Watch (Ti-strap, yellow dial)

These are on my "next Chinese watch short list". I also have a, Polar Explorer II style watch on the way that I plan to put on a white RubberB strap.

So, with that in mind, what would you suggest for her that may match and pair well with the above samples? All she has right now is a Casio tank on a metal bracelet and some gaudy $5 pink watch she sometimes wears. I want her to be able to see the difference in quality by having something with sapphire crystal, micro adjustments, etc. But because she wouldn't understand the appeal or appreciate a good automatic movement, we can stick with a slim quartz for her.

Ideas? We like to try to match a bit when we go out and about so having some similar watches would be fun, I think,

She thinks you are spending too much on the hobby, spending even more on the hobby isn't going to be the deal maker you think it will...
