I've been following all the threads and posts about watches, but I still don't know which way to go.

I have lovely, conservative, understated jewelery, but no watch. I'd like something feminine and pretty in the $3,000 to $5,000 range.

I'd appreciate all your suggestions. The only thing I don't care for is yellow gold. I really appreciate your help. I'm at a total loss.

TIA!!!

Rolex has beautiful watches. You can find conservative, understated styles.

Stainless Steel Rolex, either Lady-Datejust or medium-size Datejust. Rhodium roman dial. Bracelet how you like it.

LVgal1972 · Aug 19th, 2007, 06:59 AM

The medium size 31mm rolex datejust in stainless steel would be nice

Just in case you can't afford or don't want a Rolex, take a look at the large choices "Michele" offers - There is one for every taste - You can check them out at Bloomingdales - I just got one and I'm a big fan.

I'd recommend one of the classics, they all come in steel - a Cartier Tank, Rolex Date Just or Omega Constellation. The constellation is quite feminine!

Rolex is a wonderful suggestion, I have the lady datejust.. but I equally love my Tag Heuer Aquaracer. It has blue MOP face and diamond markers... the band is polished stainless steel. I love it!!!

Florasun · Aug 19th, 2007, 11:42 PM

I have the same Tag, it's great for casual. I also have the Cartier Santos Demoiselle in stainless, which is in that price range; it's a little dressier.

Vicky2007 · Aug 20th, 2007, 09:19 PM

I never be a Rolex fan so I recommend Cartier.

fashion_gurl888 · Aug 22nd, 2007, 10:34 AM

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust
Steel and 18ct White Gold
Pink MOP Diamond Dial
in either Jubillee or Oyster Bracelet

Sammyjoe · Aug 22nd, 2007, 10:38 AM

I would look at Rolex, Cartier Santos and Omega.x

Cecilia2 · Aug 22nd, 2007, 10:42 AM

Cartier Santos Demoiselle....

Sweetpea83 · Aug 22nd, 2007, 10:46 AM

Michele watches are pretty!

In that price range, I would look at a Cartier Tank Francaise. However, I

my Patek Twenty-4, it is a little more. Enjoy the search, that is half the fun!

LaBoheme · Aug 22nd, 2007, 11:53 AM

Cartier Tank..I like the Francaise too(I have the SS & 18k midsize but no date window)

but my favorite dream watch of all is the Americaine(yg bracelet version).

You could probably find a strap version pre-owned at the high end of your budget.

I also like the Louis

& Solo
