I saw the recent blog post on the PS blog about engagement watches - see here - and it got me thinking: if for some reason you couldn’t have an engagement ring (or if you would receive both an engagement ring AND an engagement watch) - what watch would you like?
Pick a watch that would be realistic for your lifestyle and the amount you’d realistically be okay to spend. If you’re someone who really hates watches, substitute with a different engagement article (that isn’t a ring); or let us know what you’d buy for your partner instead (if they have zero preference). Also would be interesting to see what is your reasoning for picking the watch you do!
To get us started -
If I was getting only an engagement watch and no engagement ring, I’d be a bit more comfortable spending on the watch - I might not get as close to what we’d be willing to budget for the ring, but perhaps in the general ballpark. I oscillate between wanting a Rolex and not; especially because I only like Rolexes with diamonds in them; but I would love the lady datejust, with a two tone bracelet and diamonds in the bezel as well as the numbers, with the silver dial. I posted a pic here for reference:
If I did both an engagement ring and an engagement watch; I would forego the diamonds entirely. I would still like a two toned watch as that would go with everything, but I’d be willing to settle for steel if it exceeds the budget. My dream watch then would be the Cartier panthere two-tone, in the small size, but I’d be happy with the steel ballon bleu no diamonds as well!
So let’s hear yours!
