Hi fellow collectors.I'm looking to buy a new watch for my wife and can quite decide on a DolceVita or a Symphonette. So any views or experience of either would be appreciated. Here are the two models I'm looking at.

 

Hi, as a female Longines enthusiast I feel compelled to reply so you don’t think people are ignoring your question.
I personally like the look of the Equestrian line. Unfortunately I have no experience with these watches.

 

My wife would reject both as too ornate. Secondly I have been conditioned never to buy her jewelry without her input.

 

Definitely need to seek her opinion.

 

I too have been "conditioned". The one time I bought my wife a watch, her first response after opening it was "Why?"

 

Same here, she has very particular tastes when it comes to watches and jewelry. She's not demanding, but she is picky about it when she does have the choice.

I look at it the same way as having my wife pick a vintage watch to buy for me. She'd probably choose one of the brands I usually stick to, but would have no idea about redials, patina, movement, etc.

 

+1 for seek her input.

 

Thanks for your input .
