    It’s the missus 30th soon and I have been looking at buying her a watch. I am down to 2:

    • JL Reverso Classic, silver with steel bracelet, manual
    • rolex datejust ladies silver and gold, automatic

    What do you guys think?

    Both beautiful, Design wise I have a massive pref for the JL, but it’s silver (she already have a silver non expensive watch) and more expensive than the rolex.
    The rolex is also beautiful, cheaper and it has some gold which will go along nicely with her engagement ring.

  • JL Reverso.

    The ladies version is lovely and elegant. Bit different too. Although personally I think it looks better on a leather strap - there's a tan crocodile one they do.

    Will she be OK with having to wind it?

  • The guy in the shop in Geneva where my wife got her reverso told her "we do a quartz version as the ladies don't like to wind watches"

  • Yes I think she will be ok with it, I meant there is no way I buy a quartz JL. Reverso should be manual imo. I absolutely love the reverso (to me it's a much nicer watch than the rolex), it's one of those I wanted for myself for many years but my watch interest has switched to bike and cars for a while now! However if I take my own taste out of the equation the rolex ticks all the boxes.

    I agree on the leather strap, but a decent leather strap could be bought separately for not that much money (not JL obv). The steel strap cost a lots of money.
