My wife is in the market for a new watch. All the watches she has picked out are quartz. I'm trying to convince her to consider automatics. However she likes very thin watches, about 5mm, but I haven't had much luck finding any.

Can you suggest some watches?

Here's a list of the requirements:
- automatic movement
- 6mm or less in thickness
- white or light color dial
- Roman numerals
- rectangular case
- medium size
- under $12k

thanks, the quartz model is 7mm for a Tank Francaise, any idea what's the thickness for an auto?
for some reason an Auto Francaise in SS for ladies isn't stocked in the places I've been looking

I really like the ladies Tortue, but is seems only come in gold, which puts it over our budget

The Ballon model is also nice, but don't think she's looking for another round watch and it's also closer to 10mm

As long as she understands that she'd have to reset a mechanical after it's been sitting on the dresser for a week (auto or manual, doesn't matter), then you're on the right track. Emphasize that it will never suffer a dead battery, either.

For that matter, unless she's going to wear it all the time, consider manual-wind watches as well. They'll already be thinner thanks to not carrying the auto winding mechanism.

(I've got no idea what you've already considered, nor do I know how often your wife wears watches; mainly just going from my own wife's preferences :) )

You would think so, I know I thought that before this thread. It sounds good in theory BUT try actually giving a specific recommendation that meets the 6mm or thinner requirement much less the rest of them. I realized what I think of as thin (in a men's watch) isn't remotely 6mm or below!
