·Anyway, thnx guys for the suggestions! I'm going to show them to her and we will see what she likes. I'll keep you updated!
Right... My wife (actually my girlfriend, but we've been in a relationship for 21 years, we have two pubescent kids, a impossible dog that does'nt listen, a suffocating mortgage and a Volvo with space for the dog so I can call her my wife) no longer feels comfortable with the speedmaster. In her work she often comes into contact with people who are less fortunate in this world and therefore does not think it is appropriate to wear an expensive watch. That in itself is to be commended. But that also brings a dilemma. Namely a new watch. My watches are either too small, too big, too fragile, too expensive, without a metal strap, etc. She would like a bit of a cool watch with a metal strap of up to EUR 1,000. It should also be fairly large. Around 39/40mm. A chronograph would be nice. She also had a vintage yema diver and a baltic diver but they are out of favor again. I was once about to buy her a rolex but then I was laughed at.
I think a new and automatic watch would suit her. I really like the Seiko Presage line. I then look a bit at the watch below. But maybe there are other options out there. I'd love to hear them!!
So:
1. A sports watch with steel strap;
2. Around 39/40mm;
3. Chronograph would be nice but not necessary;
4. Under 1k euro; and
5. Automatic.
in all fairness to the choices that others have posted they are nice watches but really miss the point.
If your wife wants to avoid the ire, envy, possibility of becoming a target for those less fortunate people should she not be dressing down rather than sideways and choose a ubiquitous cheap Chinese quartz or even a plain but better Casio?
