I am buying  a watch for my wife as a brithday present, below are some of the pieces  which  I am considering:

a) JLC master compressor GMT or chron(steel)

b) Rolex Yacht Master lady size

c) GO senator lady

d) Others (please advise)

she will likes to wear it as a everyday watch and be understated., thus white metal is prefer able .  she currently owned a JLC reverso duo (steel)  VH classic  and Longine classic piece.

and my budget is less than US$7K.

You may also consider the Rolex YM in the medium size, which is, to me, nicer than the Lady Size for this sporty model.

Then, if you hesitate between these 2, me too.

THe rolex YM is a very nice watch with its platinum dial and bezel, and this sparkling red second hand.

The JLC Compressor GMT is also a very tempting choice, with its white dial and these blue touches, here and there.

Both are nice, and I really think that you won't be wrong in your choice with these one.

Let us know!

It  all depends of everyday clothing type and sport activities.

The Rolex YM  is very sport looking and with the platinum dial, the sparkling bezel and red second hand make it very attractive and similar as the man others sport model like GMT amd Explorer.  I owned a GMT IIc and hope that  I wife also would has one in her collection. (size is less than 30mm)

The JLC MC driving GMT lady with white dial and blue decoration and diamond on the bezel marker is really nice and warm. The 2 timezone  make it a very useful application.  however bacause of the diamond on the bezel, it looks a bit of ferminine and dressy.  Do not know can it be wear during working in the office. ( she is an Engineer)

Both watches are consider sport watch, the price is US$700 different which is not a problem during the consideration. One importance consideration is would it be out of fashion  one day ?  Rolex YM had been around for 10 years and the JLC MC driving GMT lady launched in year 2007, can it be around the many years to come and still hot ?

 My wife intended to give it  to my daughters in times to come and hope that it will retain it value and lasting, what is your thought ?

Her wrist size is 140mm(5.5") and the YM is 28mm and JLC is 38mm, any problem ?

Would anyone post  the picture of both the Rolex YM and JLC MC dirving GMT lady , thus I also can ask my daughters to advise as they are the ultimate owner.

Thanks for all the input so far.

either the JLC or the GO

...the watch fashion expert in my life, also known as my wife,
she has suggested the JLC. Her words "it's a warmer gift."

the Oyster perpetual; no date; black dial; pink markers. I love that one. My wife doen't give a damn about watches so I won't be bothered buying her such a piece. Don't forget to check out the ladies Blancpain collection!

Best,
