If it was down to just these two, I'd go with the Seamaster... can't say for your wife, but I know with mine the Constellation bracelet would be a deal breaker. You mention your wife is more casual - would the hour markers bother her at all? Would they seem too "blingly" to her on either one?
And if I presented her with a quartz Connie she would throw it across the room- well, not that dramatic, but mechanical all the way for her
Under normal circumstances I would say yes, it may be a little blingy, but this is a special gift sOoO...
I showed this to my wife and she said she likes the constellation better out of the two. I bought her a Deville for christmas. Showing her this was a mistake. Now she wants the Connie for her B-day .
Do you think she would let you borrow it?
Can we see a picture?
They have the Connie as an automatic version, but if she puts it down for extended amount of time (eg, long weekend), then quartz is surely easier for her.
Answer: Winder
I thought an auto would be a show stopper for my wife until I bought her a Lady Datejust. The AD threw in a winder and it solved the dilemma.
