I bought my wife a Swiss Army with a slate gray dial and she Loves it, and that was before she saw the engagement ring I bought at the same time:D.

Justin,

Quartz or Auto? The women are enamoured with the Michele line of watches, they seem to be well built/Swiss and usually have a few diamonds which they like.

We bought each other men's and women's Movado automatics one year for our anniversary. Not a real exciting watch for me, but she loves hers. I have to say it's  the most comfortable watch I've ever owned, hardly know I have it on. They do look pretty nice.

women's version

Are you thinking sporty or dressy or something that can be worn as both?

It would be a watch for both. I would like to have to bands for this watch one stainless steel and one leather. I took a look at the Michele watches and I am very impressed. I have attached a pic of one that i'm interested in. Now there is a similar one for $110 less and not chronograph.

How 'bout this manual? Just outside the price range but still a great deal.

Wow Norman great job and thank you for doing some research for me. That is a beautiful watch i will keep that in mind when i'm deciding. It is alittle out of my price range but for an Oris I agree it is a great price. I will check around online if that watch is cheaper anywhere else. Thank again it is very much appreciated.

Well keep in mind that...and for Amazon its unusual but, it claims full manufacturers warrenty, which means no grey market real deal swiss auto..but it is a lot of moola for an idyy bidyy watch...that's for sure.

I just paid right now for a Michele watch for my wife should be here in less then 2 weeks. Perfect watch for her with interchangble bands. Purchased from jomashop and what a deal it was. Espicially when I went to a watch store today and found out what they were charging. It was insane. Pic below:
