I second the fact that a midsize dial might be easier to read. Can someone covertly check out her watch selection over the next few weeks? Or maybe send in another woman to show off a new watch and get her comments. Heck, I'm sure whatever you pick out, she'll love! I agree about the midsize being easier to read... I was just wondering if, because of her age, she might think it was too big.   Definitely will have to find out a little more about her.... thanks to everyone for the good comments and insights so far.

Nice and easy to read, and a lady of her age will probably like the gold with ss.

The Trophy wives and the daughters wear mid-size and full size more frequently, but even then, it is very much a lifestyle and particular "look", and certainly not the norm... ...........  There is also a cultural "Look" on watch styles that I will not get into.... _________________ ...............

That's kind of what I'm wondering, too, Larry - whether she would prefer a 26mm.  Especially in my part of the country... I asked Dave more about her tonight and he says she's pretty practical, average size, and not a "glitzy" type at all.  I keep thinking "Lady DJ...."

Well, then trendy may not be a good idea. _________________ #42   Still looking for my marbles...

To me it doesn't look too much bigger than the 26mm.... anyway, I've asked my husband to do some more spying - I need a report on what color jewelry she wears, if any, and what her existing watch looks like, if she has one.
