You two are lucky. I wish I could do the his/hers thing with my partner, but she really doesn't care for watches. Having a weight on her wrist bothers her for some reason. Sometimes I can talk her into wearing my moonswatch, but that's about it.

I also vote to check out the AT line. And, I know it may be blasphemy on the OF, but Tudor's BB line has a lot of size variations that can make for a good his/hers pairing.

Oh, dear...the Boutique is a most dangerous place for those afflicted with "the sickness".

Now, I'm going to do something rather insidious...I'm going to plant the tiniest little bit of something in your brain. It may not take root for some time, but it will be there...growing, quietly.

The narrative and photos you shared from your expedition to The Boutique were conspicuously lacking any reference to the Speedmaster. Yes, the Speedmaster...Speeeeeeedmaster. Arguably the most consequential wristwatch ever made. It reaches beyond gender, being neither a Man's watch nor a Woman's watch. It's a Human's watch. Worn in its most primitive form, manual wind with acrylic crystal, it's a beautiful connection to some of humankind's most ambitious endeavours. Worn on a stainless steel bracelet, loosely, it becomes fine jewelry.

All right. My work is done.

I’ve seen a few aventurine dials lately that just look amazing. I’m a big fan.

For his and hers Omegas, have you considered the Aqua Terra line?
So I hav lookefd at aquaterra, and they just doesn't grab me - very nice but don't grab me as some other styles have. Anyway, we don't need to be matchy matchy. Husband definitely wants a dive style since he is fond of a the rotating bezel for timing things.

By the way, there was a couple doing husband/wife purchase when I was there the other day. It looked fun. I think she got an aquaterra, and he went with a seamaster - the cool black on black ceramic. I was sort of jealous and hope to make such an excursion in the future.

The Grey Side of the Moon is another contender for you. It’s a big watch, but somehow it fits the female wrist better than the male wrist, and it looks great. Powerful!

I do like the look of it, but not quite sure I want something that big. The colors are great. I am a bit all over the map with whetehr to go dressier or sportier. I mean, I would go all of the above if I could. I need focus!

That's what we did.Mrs Turpinr's is the 30mm quartz version and mine came later, the 38.5mm.
We did get his and hers Tudors at the same time too.Mine is the BB58 and hers is a 1926 with diamonds although she doesn't do over blingy like the OP either.
