Looking for recommendations on a watch for my daughter. She has a Seiko 5 SNK809 that I got her a few years ago, but looking for something nicer now (metal bracelet, automatic, etc).

I think two-tone would to be more versatile, but silver or gold only is good too. Let's say budget less than $1K.

And go....

Edit: her Seiko is 37mm, and somewhere in that range is good. She wants to wear my 36mm DJ, but it's from 1984 so it's not the best for her situation (a freshman in high school) lol

Cool gift. Super cool style would be vintage Omega.

(But all women regardless of age like Cartier).

vintage omega for women can be had very inexpensively. I gave my wife a 1989 gold omega that I picked up for $500 and she's over the moon about it....and she's a bit bougie when it comes to watches and handbags

Style over substance today. Crappy quartz.

The Cartier is a great suggestion but absolutely no way I'd give one to a hs freshman. Might as well give her the dj

Looks like CW launching the homage OP39 so can add this one to the list as well. Albeit cooler looking dials.

Ok Hors…post you RED/Maroon dial and GREEN dial watches! I'm looking for ideas for additions to my collection…


IWC MK XX green is hard to beat. Quick change bracelet is awesome. Probably my favorite watch I own. Going from dress bracelet to rubber or leather totally makes this a different watch. Takes 5 seconds to change.





That's a nice one! Love the starburst dial!


I seriously have pictures of it in 10 different colors. It changes from black to blue to teal to green depending on the sun. Definite stunner

How do you like your Barton strap? I am thinking about swapping my Fleiger to a racing strap (with the holes in) and they were one of the options I looked at.

I actually like it a lot. I think I'm going on 2 years with it and it's still in great condition.

I've got this, but going to change out the strap:



It's a great watch and I have the blue variation with the date. I too changed out the bracelet and put on a light brown Barton leather strap. Also picked up a maroon strap which looks good on it too believe it or not.


I'm actually going to a breitling black rubber strap. It's not even a water resistant watch, so I'm breaking a rule, but I think the black and green is going to look sweet

I put the black rubber on my black/green Superocean Heritage

I don't know this girl, but I would make sure she's cool with an old-ass looking vintage watch.

I get a of microbrand ads on IG. This just popped up. Nivari from Germany. I'm looking for a blue watch and like the chamfered links like Traska has. The face detail is reminiscent of Grand Seiko to me.

They also have a nice crimson.

An FC Highlife quartz could be cool, but if all of her friends have Pantheres you just wasted $1,000.

Trafford's Daytripper watches (the one above) look good, although that one is a bit of an extreme color wise (limited edition 200 pieces).

I've got a Crossroads on order that should arrive soon. Can't wait.

Ha, yeah. Pantheres (and Tanks....but Pantheres), seem to be the watch of choice for women. But man, a bunch of high school freshman are running around with Cartier?!

I've been eyeing this exact watch for the last few weeks since my hunting watch finally bit the dust. How do you like the leather band for everyday wear? Mainly curious how it holds up to getting dirty, scratches, sweat, etc.

I got into the watch game when my wife bought me an Omega Seamaster Diver 300. I love the watch, but the bracelet felt a little too flashy for an everyday wearer, so I ended up buying the rubber strap. That definitely helped, but I still find myself worried about banging it up when I'm doing anything outdoors.

This one seems like it might be a better everyday/ranch/hunting watch that I don't have to baby quite as much.


If you're worried about banging your watch up outdoors just go back through this thread and look at all the photos of the ******ed **** I've done while wearing mine, and i didn't swap out the bracelet for rubber.

Nah, they kept their seconds hand silver so it's a totally unique design. Kudos to the creative designers at CW for such a brilliant innovation.

Have to say, I've always thought you all were a little harsh on CW (even though I do not own any), but DAMN that is some blatant ***** Wow.
