      The Apple watch is a really good suggestion, albeit one that I hadn't initially considered.  I'm not personally interested in smart devices.

      I'm having a hard time looking at your profile pic without laughing, @Chris

        I spent six months trying to convince my wife to get a mechanical Swiss watch. We came across the Michelle display at our local jewelry store and she instantly fell in love.

        Not my cup of tea, but I don't have to wear it. She loves the ability to change the watch straps in a few seconds with no tools.

        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

          We've just browsed through the Michele website and she was hooked!  A couple of possibilities there and, as you say, plenty of versatility with the strap options.  Thanks for the great suggestion.

                Anyone know why diving watches are typically made with mechanical (automatic) movements rather than quartz? Automatics aren't more accurate and I'm always resetting day/date/time etc when I switch watches.

                (I've been looking at the new Seiko turtle SRP777 - a reissue of the old discontinued 6309 turtle.)

                  I wouldn't say that they're more frequently made with auto movements.  I think that watch forums and watch geeks generally dislike quartz movements, however.  As a result, what you see discussed online is disproportionately auto-centric.

                        @Anesthetist, Vacheron have done a 37mm version of the Overseas. I figured it would appeal to you if they hadn't slathered it with diamonds. :o

                        It retains the antimagnetic case and 150m water resistance of its bigger sibling. A bling-free version would be very tempting.

                        The picture's from Hodinkee's best women's watches at SIHH. Unfortunately they're not in @Qinhan's price bracket, so I can't help him there.

                          "Not in my price bracket."  Just some mild, Aussie understatement for you there.

                            Why must anything less than 38mm be all of a sudden a woman's watch. My God did they ever ruin that. To be honest, on occasion I even wear a Tudor Mini-Sub which is only ~33mm and I don't feel any less of a man.

                              I'm really surprised that there isn't a diamond-free version. Maybe it'll happen at some point.

                              @Qinhan I'm a displaced Brit, not an Aussie. I must have picked up the understatement pretty quickly. 😉

                                    I'll let you know that I've got a Certificate of Good Behaviour from the Dutch. Granted, that's probably a low bar to cross since everything is legal and permitted there, but…
