Hello all,
Been thinking for a while what watch to get for my beloved wife for her B'day on April.
Looking at this for a while: https://www.chrono24.ro/rolex/ladies...3214&showAll=1
What do you think?
Do you spot anything wrong with it.
Please feel free to make any suggestions(make,model) as long as is a bit colored and just a little bit blinky

I would walk away - alarm bells for me!!
If you want to buy something for your wife - get something real.This is an authentic Rolex watch with a Rolex dial with added genuine diamond markers, a aftermarket 18K white gold diamond bezel, and a aftermarket stainless steel jubilee band
You can get some ideas of the current Rolex models from https://www.rolex.com
For example - date-just 28mm. - https://www.rolex.com/watches/dateju...9174-0003.html

My first thought was "seems like a fair swap"...
I've noticed these too, seem to be a couple of outfits in the US customising tired, old and undesirable Rolices, but being a mite unforthcoming about it in their descriptions. And I'm kind of assuming they are originally genuine watches - more experienced Roliphiles can better advise than me.
If it's a lifetime keeper, then the fact they're worth less than you're paying won't matter. Otherwise....
Before jumping into such a purchase I would actually consult her. Mate of mine had bought a Rolex DJ (similar to the ones on this thread) for his mrs 30th, turns out she found it too bling and didn’t want to wear it!
If that's what she's into there will be lots of DJ28 to try on at any AD. Get her to try on 28 Vs 31 and see what she thinks. If both are too big you can get 26mm much cheaper second hand.
If it doesn't have to be Rolex, plenty of bling and pink at Frank

I bought my wife a ceramic Chanel J12 watch - this one, I think. And my wife loves it, rarely takes it off. Quartz, of course!
I bought my better half the Rolex Datejust 31mm with white gold bezel, jubilee bracelet and baby pink dial.....she loves it and might be worth your checking out something similar. The white gold bezel really adds some sparkle.
Same advice as ever, let her pick the birthday present.

As above, ask her. My wife has no interest in the watches I would pick for her... although I have to say her taste in cheap seventies random watches is pretty good!
Too add, some years ago I bought "her indoors" a Rolex, she wore it about a dozen times yet she wears a £40 casio that she picked pretty much all the time,

... or get her a beautiful classic 30mm Cartier Tank Louis, and "borrow" it when you feel like being just a bit classy.

Another vote for this approach. It can be a lot of fun, watch shopping with someone and working out what they really like.Mrs Cain has a full size Breitling Montbrillant, a diamond bezel women's Omega Constellation and a Tank Americaine auto. None of which I would ever have selected for her if I'd been making the decisions myself...
How about a vintage mens omega???
