A classic ladies watch

[Paddingtonthebear]

Any recommendations?
Small wrists, not blingy.

It's a special birthday present watch for me so can be expensive

[Pugthug]

Skagen watches are lovely.

[TheDuchessofBoxford]

Daniel Wellington make very simple and stylish watches at a reasonable price

[JaceLancs]

I have had an omega for the last 20+ years
I think it's far more classy than a Rolex!

Budget? expensive is relative!

[RJnomore]

Id recommend a Raymond Weill. Proper Swiss made, not too pricey but definitely getting dearer the last few years. Probably on par with a Gucci watch price wise but they're fashion watches, I'd get a watchmaker watch if you can.

Another vote for RW.

Depending on budget, Cartier make beautiful ladies watches.

[Strokethefurrywall]

Or Tag. But my ultimate are the Rolex oysters - on the expensive side though.

I like the Cartier tank - understated and classy

[SteveBrucesNose]

I have a Cartier tank francaise and I love it, but again, expensive is relative. If you've got dainty wrists I'm not sure a tank would be right, I've got very big hands (ring size Q and a half for comparison) and it's a nice size watch on me.

Baume and mercier have some very classic styles too and I suspect my next watch will be from there. Very classic Swiss watches. I'm not sure on women's pricing but DHs was about £2.5k and women's are usually cheaper. They're very slim too.

I have an Omega. It's very plain (no bling) and looks fine with a dress or fine with casual clothes. Bit like this model but the face on mine is not pearlised

That Omega is lovely.

Keep them coming

[Paddingtonthebear]

Yep loving the Omega Constellation but not the price tag

[Chocolateteabag]

I have a Longines tank watch, was £700 7 years ago IIRC (wedding present from DH)

[dazzlingdeborahrose]

I have an omega constellation but the one that is two tone and with the sparkly diamonds on the face. Not too blingy and goes with everything. I also have a Raymond Weill which was less expensive but has never let me down in the fifteen years I've owned. Simple design but very lovely.

[Paddingtonthebear]

Have you got some pics please?

I have this - it's lovely and understated.
But I'm seriously considering buying a Cartier Tank Francaise

[Paddingtonthebear]

I don't even know if I want round, square or ???

[Blueboys2009]

I have this skagen one which, in my opinion, looks more expensive than it is!

I have a really beautiful Raymond Weil (15yrs old) which is so lovely I have stopped wearing it and put aside for my Dd when she leaves home.

[Want2bSupermum]

Skagen watches don't last. Had three in a row and each only lasted 2 years.

Now I have a Rolex and a Larson and Jennings. Love both but if looking for something less than £500 I would opt for L&J as I really like that you can easily switch the wrist strap.

Have a look at Longines for affordable Swiss watches - the prima Luna range is very classic looking and comes with and without diamonds and in silver or silver and gold
