Inspired by the Carrera Heuer-01, it's the modular Carrera Lady range:

I am jealous, these actually look great.
It is certainly more contemporary and attractive to me than the Oyster perpetuals she wouldn't let go of.

I like them too, although that's probably because they are not very feminine (the sharp lines are too masculine).

Yes, there's a stainless steel H-Link bracelet

All of them, except the white model, could be worn by men and nobody would ever notice that these are lady's models.

That's the nicest lady range for a very long time.

These are very nice. But my wife doesn't like them for some reason.

I thought 36mm was Mogwai-size?

Are they 36mm then? Good size for a lot of ladies.

I asked the missus, she likes the watch, thinks it's a bit masculine, but looks good. However she hates the strap, thinks it looks cheap

The possibility of being able to borrow it occasionally had not been overlooked! 😀. But for me alone... a) it's quartz, b) it's a 3 hand "Carerra", c) has "lady" in the title.

First she liked, then when I mentioned it's for women she denied.

My 15th wedding anniversary is at the end of August. The modern (as opposed to traditional) gift list deems 15 = "Watch".

Mrs BA already has a nice two tone diamond Carrera (imagwai would approve as it's an auto) so I'm looking for something a little different. One of these could fit the bill nicely.

But I'd really love to NOT hear the words "Have you got the receipt?" after unwrapping and I think I'm chickening out.

I may end up wrapping an old Roamer I have knocking about (as a representative token) and then give her a little catalogue of models I have considered.

I'm not surprised. Looks like a women's watch designed to appeal to men...

Mmmm... others could say it looks more like a men's watch trying to appeal to women.
