Picked this up for the Mrs today.
What watch do you wear?

Great!A result that you shouldn't have had to push for but it's that way it happens with many things these days.
no real explanation of what led them to say that it had been damaged in 1st inspection just thet they now accept that is hasn't been

Yes, the mid size.
The standard mens suits her quite well, but I went for the mid instead
Ladies size is tiny and not worth buying in my opinion

my missus had had hers over 10 years when that was normal size for women

Ahhh yeah I could wear it. 
Pretend I'm some hipster who doesn't conform.
Gladly I only paid half of what you would pay in a highstreet store. Still my bint don't know that.
Pretend I'm some hipster who doesn't conform. I really don't understand this whole Michael Kors phase women seem to be going through. Seriously, all the watches are covered in "diamonds" in some weird bid to impress, but every other bint has one so knows full well the diamonds aren't real and also the exact amount it would have cost
Simple, elegant, stunning

I've not bought missus a watch yet, mainly because the only one she likes that I'd be prepared to buy (i.e. is of a decent quality and not just a quartz movement in a fancy case) is the Omega Ladymatic and that requires some serious saving up
I'm going through a Panerai phase at the moment. This is next on my radar. I absolutely love it. The simplicity and the hints to their past.

nice but if I was in market for a Radiomir it would have to be the California
424? Yeah they're nice too, I think it's only the dial that's different.

Yea, I'd love the California. It's beautiful thing!
My Mrs has the small size, her wrists are tiny so anything bigger and she wouldn't wear it.
but to be fair, it's only a baby tudor, not a rolex

Got my 1950's dress watch back yesterday after having a new crystal and a dial cleanup.
Did that cost much?

No it was very reasonable, a amature watch tinkerer carried out the work and it's only an acrylic crystal.
