My main concern is I hope beaner picked out the proper watch for his wife. I would recommend the 38.5mm seiko presage, not the standard it wears large but there are a lovely assortment of dial colors available. They also come with a hearty hacking automatic movement. I think the tequila sunrise model would be nice for a lady. Mind you 38.5mm is cutting it close it’s possible it could be too big for a lady. Also you need to look around as there were a number of limited addition models made they tend to shoot up in price quickly on the secondary market. I got one for 285usd off a major online retailer a month later the same model I got was being sold for 1,000 usd. So screw the limited stuff if you aren’t a collector just look at the beautiful dials seiko makes on the various presage
