I don't think anyone would really notice or say anything.
For the price I think you could get something more "traditional". While Tiffany & Co. is an actual jewelry company, they're pretty fashionable/trendy.
IWC or bust.
The new collection has some nice pieces but it depends on what she is dead set on. If she 100% wants to get you a Tiffany watch, then go ahead - in the end they do make solid watches. If her budget is that of a Tiffany watch (~$7K), there are plenty of better watches you can buy with that money.
I agree that better watches are out there but she seems pretty set on it for some reason. Not sure why but what do you think would be a good watch in same price point that an entry-level/intern could have and not get laughed out of the room?
Well start by considering that 80% of people won't care at all. For the 20% that do, nice watches that don't seem douchy for your positions are:
Stainless steel rolex date just (oyster or jubilee bracelet). New or 2nd hand.
Omegas in steel (speedmaster, seamaster...the list goes on).
Omega De Ville in steel. Very classy and well below $7K
Most Tudors. The black bay collection has nice pieces and if you want to avoid submariner look a like, go for the Black Bay 36mm (blue or black dial)
Seiko has great watches for their price. Most common ones can be found for under $1000 but if you want to bump up the spending their Credor and Grand Seiko collections are nice.
Steel Zeniths on a leather strap are also beautiful.
Jaeger's Master collection also has some great 2nd hand pieces around the $7K mark.
Blancpain is a big boy brand but some older vintage models from the Villeret collection can be found for about $7K
Last resort are some 'younger' guy brand with less expensive pieces that are still great such as Longines or Baume et Mercier.
Happy hunting!
