Thread: Women wearing men's watches?

    Women wearing men's watches?

    Just wondered what members thought? The pics I've seen of women wearing men's watches have all looked great. However most of these women happen to be models or film stars so would still look gorgeous in a bin bag.

    Personally, for me it totally depends on the watch and the woman. It can look as stupid as footballers with their oversized blingy crap or they can look classy, sporty, sophisticated, anything really.

    I agree, especially after seeing a Graham display yesterday in Chester.

    This has been talked to death but I give a strong unless it's a small men's watch and a big woman. Too big watch looks bad and way too big watch looks ridiculous.

    Mrs Stoner was wearing a Spring Drive at the last MotoGp when hubby was in the winners enclosure. Looked suspiciously like this one.

    Re: Women wearing men's watches?

    My wife used to wear my old Orange PO (42mm) on a black nato a lot and it looked fab. She's very careful with her things though, so I'm happy for her to rifle through my watch box.

    Her father bought me a GMT2c for a wedding present a few years back and I'm sure she's worn it more than I have (still only a handful of times). Looks seriously lovely on her, especially when she's dressed up to go out.

    Funnily enough when she wears one of my watches she always gets positive comments on it, whereas I hardly ever do!

    The number of people recommending the Explorer I's and Airkings as a suitable ladies watches aren't doing us blokes any favours.

    And as for this fella .......[attachment=0:xn2x2v3f]gok-wan.jpg[/attachment:xn2x2v3f]

    Relative to wrist size and not gender in my book.

    Re: Women wearing men's watches?

    I used to get the train into central London and regularly saw a very petite (and very attractive!) woman at the station wearing a white faced 40mm Panerai and thought it looked great!

    I also think the original 36mm Explorer 1 looks great on women, still trying to convince my wife to get one!

    My Air King is permanently on the wife's wrist at the moment. Looks good to be honest.

    Many chicks dig men's watches. Sporty watches and stuff. I think it looks cool and tough. 8)

    My wife wears a pam 90 on black croc deployment and she is 5ft and skinny. To be honest it looks the nuts on her despite me wanting it for myself

    Re: Women wearing men's watches?

    My wife has taken command of my ExpII white dial, it looks cool I (we) think and at least she can read the time / see the date as opposed to her previous 'dainty' watches.

    I think its ridiculous. I mean! The oven has a clock! :)

    Re: Women wearing men's watches?

    Yes, yes , yes .... if it's a nice steel watch, worn loose and she's got nice wrists .... then yes - very classy.

    It's as paradoxical as a good looking gal wearing combats and boots :D come to think of it, combats boots and large watch on bony wrist ... mmmm don't tell the Mrs!

    We have one wrapped up for the GF's birthday :) I think they, along with subs and Daytonas are great sizes for women.

    Wrist size is important though my wife only wears a women's size Seamaster as anything much bigger would look out of place on such a petite wrist.
    It's just a matter of time...

    One of the many things that made Celia look so lovely at yesterday's NWGTG was her Seamaster Pro midsize.

    What do you mean we said men's watch?

    I'm with you on that one totally - I believe she also wears a PVD'd Milgauss GV which was gifted to her by her boyfriend at the time John Mayer (lucky sod).

    I'm not at all sexist but even my girlfriend agrees when I disagree with women in mens' watches :blackeye:

    I wouldn't wear a tiny woman's watch, so why do women wear Daytonas etc?

    Is there not enough choice in the world of ladies watches, and therefore are manufacturers missing a trick? I know Omega announced an all-white full size planet ocean at Basel and I was shocked that a guy on this forum wanted it :shock:

    To me, this looks like a man-size womens watch :| so is there more like this to come?

    I was doing 'Dad Duty' at a 6 year olds birthday party in Harpenden on Saturday......real yummy-mummy territory. I couldn't help but notice quite a few mums wearing men’s Rolex's.......seemed to work quite well in my view :D .

    One had a nice Pepsi GMT and another a Yachtmaster.........which looks a bit girlie to me anyway.

    My wife wears an explorer 1, a speedie reduced 37mm and the 36mm Tudor Sub, she is a size 10 and quite petite with small wrists but none of them look too big for her, i see more an more women wearing what were traditionally mens sizes years ago (34-37mm), vintage oysters and DJ's etc and of course men have moved up to an average of plus 40mm i would say

    I have seen a few 40mm subs on ladies wrists and i didnt look quite right to me but hey good luck to them
