Don't restrict her choicse to mechanical pieces.
I think sometimes it's easier for ladies to fall in love with quartz watches if the design is right for them. Many of my friends' girlfriends/spouses prefer not to own mechanical watches because of the hassles they can bring. They just want to grab the watch and go without having to set anything. Maybe that's the case for everyone.

Double Christmas Joys
It turned out that there is a little something for myself this Christmas as well. Contained in the subdued box is... A resolutely simple Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 976 in black It would have been great if the subdial were rectangular like on the silv...
Fantastic looking...
pair of watches! I really like how the new Speedmaster for the ladies looks! Thanks for the nice photos and best of luck with the beautiful timepieces!
Indeed, Ruckdee, Santa was very nice with both of you!
The Grande 976 is reall apealing with its black dial! No jealous, here, only happy people. Congrats to both on you. All the best, Nicolas.
nice picts
Hope to see the picts of your new Reverso on siamnaliga too. happy new year 2011
Beautiful
Love the look in black. U wish my wife liked watches like your fiancé. Been looking for a while but she won't look at anything. So it is hard to fund her something. Wait maybe that's a good thing. More for me. Lol. Aside though those are both beautiful wa...
Congratulations, Ruckdee!
...to both you and your fiancee. Two great watches. I like that Omega a lot -- it looks great on her wrist. Perfect for weekends and less formal wear. The sunburst effect on the dial is very nice, as you point out. But that Reverso Grande 976???? Well, th...
Respo, you don't know your pic is pivotal to my buying the 976.
Do you remember you posted a pic of the black 976 from the dealer? The one with a Vacheron or something in the back? Well, that is the beginning of madness! I think I am one of those hard-to-please buyers. I like the clean dial design of the black 976 and...
Well, it makes me smile that the truly awful photo I took
...may have started the "madness" for you. Yes, the "Vacheron or something" in the background was the 1921 American that I later purchased, delaying the purchase of the 976 for a while. No regrets, however. Idid ok, and I am confident a Reverso is in my f...
well done, Ruckdee...
... great choice for both watches... of course from a JLC fan perspective, i would like the Reverso 976 most.... LOLOL. very nicely captured the fine details of the watch, well done and congrats on your timely Xmas gifts to you both! stefan
WOW....Awesome photo's !!
Huge congrats on the Reverso and on the great looking Omega. Drew

Surely you and your fiancé are elated with the Xmas haul. Btw, just curious, the fiancé can prob pull off the 976as well, and you the speedy...is this deliberate? Why not the 986, i stead of the 976, esp since the fiance can use one dial and you the other...
Good questions there. Here are some answers.
No, we haven't shared watches before because of the wrist size difference. Why the 976 and not the 986? Two reasons. One is I don't like the date windows where more than one date is shown (as is popular now). And most importantly, the 986 is wayyyyy to la...
Very good looking wrist couple...
Congrats, Ruckdee. I like your deliberate approach to watches. And it certainly shows. I was mesmerized by the speedy on your fiancee's wrist. Let's just say that she is wearing the watch and not the other way around. I have my reservations on the round s...
Thanks for sharing your joy Ruckdee.
Those are a wonderful pair, both look great on the wrists too. Congrats to both of you! Goh
You know, I actually do like the circular subdial
It may not be conventional, but I feel it actually gives the dial more character and contrasts nicely with the square minute/hour indices, fitting nicely with the "dual" nature of the Reverso, if you're willing to allow a bit of a philosophical stretch Th...
Congrats, Ruckdee!
The 976 is my favourite 2010 Reverso! (Un)fortunately 2010 was a Memovox year for me – so no room for any Reversos… Congrats to both you and your wife! Wear them in good health! Best Blomman
Thank you, blomman. I'm sure the 976 will find its way into your collection sooner...
...than later. And maybe in rose gold also? Thanks for the well wishes. Ruckdee
I hope you are right…
But this year I probably go for the TT 1931… Let’s wait and see what else JLC will offer this year! Best Blomman
