it would be the best piece / gift i have seen here in this thread. but i don´t know, if she is prepared for wearing a rolex. it´s the name, that could be negative for her. a also elegant piece with a name that stands for more gentle jewelry is the cartier santos galbee SS. in addition, it´s at a lower price though it has been increased up from 2.900€ to 3.900€ last year. :sad:

Looking at that watch online, I personally would prefer the Rolex (with the fluted bezel that was shown above). It looks clean in a more classic & elegant way than the Cartier santos galbee SS. Perhaps I have a preference for round watches.

What is it about the "Rolex" name that feels different than the "Cartier" name (besides "gentle," as you mention)? I mean, in regards to your wife (You said you're looking for a watch for her, correct)?

it could be, that "rolex" stands for more need for recognition or call it ´status symbol´ in middle europe as in asia or in the us. a rolex gives a bigger appearance than cartier jewelry. thats not my opinion at all. but perhaps for my wife (yes, i am looking for a watch for her). doesn´t it ? :confused1: ?
so this is one thing why i like this thread: views from many different people showing their rolex watches and talk about it. :smile1: good ideas, you never will find at the AD`s.

do you think, the oyster bracelet is more feminine than the jubilee ?

The Oyster bracelet is traditionally considered more sporty and less feminine than the Jubilee for a woman's watch. The fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet are the most feminine specs.
I have a 31mm, white dial with Roman numerals, fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet and it is ideal for me--all occasions.

Second what krism805 says. But I personally feel that the oyster Band looks somehow less fussy and more understated. But than I prefer a somewhat edgy and understated look even on my higher heels.

I agree with both assessments here. I think Jubilee is probably going to be generally viewed as more feminine, but I also personally prefer Oyster. I admit I like the look of Jubilee but not the clasp (I just personally have this feeling that it would flop open when you least expect it, though I know that doesn't happen in real life).

As someone else said, consider what your wife's style is otherwise. I also think, since you mentioned the Cartier Galbee something (I forgot the name), it sounds like you might think an Oyster bracelet is OK for her. Why? I say this because that Cartier watch has (to me) a somewhat edgy style (and because the bracelet visually matches the Oyster more than the Jubilee).

I hope you're getting lots of useful information from this thread! :D Good luck in your continued search~

I do love the Oyster very much. But for my next Rolex, if our budget permits, I'd definitely get a two-tone jubilee because I believe that is what a classic Rolex supposed to look like.
