Of the females I know, they even think having more than one watch proves insanity.
My favorites are pure mechanicals; it's great winding one and setting the time. I didn't get "into" watches until I happened across TT and his teaching a few years back, so I do know what you guys are going nutso about.
I also like the one skeletonized piece I have--watching all the parts doing their thing is fascinating.
Yet, there are others like myself (must be the minority)who drool over some men's watches and wish . . . Can't your wife just give it one good shake to get it going? Of course, then the time must be set (horrors--all that work). Buy her a winder......LOL Quartz is convenient, but. . .
On the other hand, I know plenty of men who are happy with their quartz pieces and find autos "too much trouble"...go figure. :D

I'll tell you why. . . (at least in my experience)
Women are concerned with style, not function. (again, I'm just stating the majority opinion). My wife has one auto, and she always complains that she has to wind it. There is no appreciation of 'the guts'.
So, I took in a line of Women's quartz and autos about 2 years ago. The auto's don't sell; so, they're on SALE!

Why are there no automatic watches a woman could wear without it being a dinner plate on her wrist? :? :?:?
Why are there no affordable automatics for women? :?
Why are any affordable automatics for women loaded with hearts and/or jewels? Why?
I want a Trias, Poljot Buran, OG's Locman and a zillion others. All too bloody large! :(
I find it unfair that you guys get all the luck. not fair at all......so there! :X And, don't make light of it--'tain't funny McGee! I must sit and read all about your wonderful purchases and become depressed. You think I didn't want that Backgammon? think again.....merde!
Thing is: there is no answer to any of my questions, but thought it was time you became aware of my/our problem.
