Help With Ladies' Watch Final Choice

[Yitbos76]

I am about to purchase a stainless steel watch for my fiancee. Currently, she has a 40mm-ish Fossil ceramic which she wears all the time and loves. However, it does not go with everything, so we are looking for something to complement it, that is a little more versatile. She doesn't want to have to reset the time on a mechanical if its not always worn, so that's out. She likes the larger size, so I want to stay in the 36-40mm range. Stainless steel bracelet required, and want something that isn't too loud or blingy. As a watch fanatic, I would like to find something a little off the beaten path if possible. Budget $500 max. This is my current top contender, but I am looking for any other ideas before I pull the trigger. Thanks!(Pic from Deep Blue Website)

Have you checked out this thread? http://forums.watchuseek.com/f2/seek...es-676010.html
Although there are a lot of autos, there are some quartz too.

Thanks for the link.....unfortunately didn't see a quartz in there that we liked, so the Deep Blue is still top choice.

This Hammy is slightly smaller than you said you were looking for at 34mm - but otherwise it seems to be what you're looking for. If the diamonds make it too expensive there's a version without them.

Then there's this model, which you could easily get with a SS bracelet.

Also check out Mido - I think they have some quartz models.

The Deep Blue looks like a solid choice - my wife has taken to the 36 - 40mm size too

I like the Deep Blue choice. I have a SS Bulova chrono with diamond bezel and white ceramic dial and the watch goes with everything from shorts an flip flops to jeans to uniform to dress. I think your combo will be very versatile. Hard to tell, but hopefully the silver hands have enough contrast to read easily against white dial. I have no prob with mine.
