I am thinking about getting my wife a watch for christmas. She wears silver/platinum ( I don't know that I've ever seen her in yellow gold.) She wear suits every day.

Here's the kicker, I have access to these three watches. The all silver watch I'm not crazy about the style of. The other two have gold, but they are mostly silver. Does a watch with both match everything, or will it look like crap and not be worn by her? These are the watches:

Which one, ladies?

I would go with the Lucca. :)
I have this watch for every day which is very similar, and love it. I've never had any problem with it all.

I would probably go with the lucca... I prefer silver too, but that one's ok because the gold is minimal. I would prefer the eco-drive one without the gold on it because i like the style better. I'm not crazy about bangle watches.

this is the watch that I wear: https://skagen.c4.ixwebhosting.com/store.asp?area=FullProduct&productID=24

If the eco-drive had less gold (or no gold) it would be a slam dunk.

I'm not crazy about the bracelet watches either. She likes that kind of stuff in theory, but then never wears them when she actually has it.

I like the Lucca, but it looks a little like something my mom would wear, which worries me about Stacy liking it.

From a dude's perspective:

numba.three is right out. Ugly.

the eco-drive is the winner.

The Lucca looks frumpy, in a dowager-widow kind of way. The only think it has going for it is a higher price tag and some diamonds. MamaMia's suggestion looks MUCH better than the Lucca.

Citizen watches rock. Eco-drive really rocks. You may want to check out the following on-line dealer:

I've used them on many occasions. Their prices and service are excellent.

she said that 40% gold was her max, so it looks like the eco--drive might be the winner.

mama's does look better, but I can't get that one for free.

Hey Andy, can you get any guy's watches for free? ;)Would it be okay if he sent you all the free watches he could get?

ok, they're not really free. we get points at work for not having accidents and stuff, then we can redeem them for items. Last year they had some really cool **** (I got the wife a Coach purse).

They have some Tag watches, but I'd have to have about 5 more accident free years to be able to afford one of those.
