The happy hubby and I went to a party at my jeweler''s tonight and HH was mesmorized by the IWC watches. (I was mesmorized by a 4+ ct ruby with step cut traps, but that is a whole ''nother story...)
Anyway, does anyone know about IWC? Are they good quality? (They seemed to be to me, but what do I know?) Right now he has a Rolex (the standard stainless and gold oyster perpetual datejust--at least that''s what I think it''s called) and he''s looking for something a little different. He liked both the IWC all stainless version with a matte finish band and another that was yellow gold with a leather (I think maybe aligator or crocodile?) band, but that one was (literally) five times as much.
I was so excited to see him interested in ANYTHING (he never wants a damn thing, and it drives me CRAZY) that I was thinking I could get him one of these for our anniversary, which is on Jan. 1, because we never do anything big for our anniversary since it''s so close to Christmas and that way he would be really surprised.
So, (1) what do you think of these watches, and (2) do you think one of them would make a good anniversary gift?
