Darren, what about a shiny, rare and famous goldy ?
My girlfriends actually wears a Carrera 45 tachy on a daily basis, its her watch and she really loves it !
She knows exactly how the chronograph works, which I recon is really an amazing achievement.
Further she is in process of considering bigger watches and likes the Siffert or Derek Bell Autavia...
Cheers

: I had a wondrful break-through moment on saturday evening. I was
: dressing to go to an early Christmas party and had just made the
: decision of which watch to wear when my girlfriend came in and
: suggested i take off the Montreal and put the 1163 Autavia GMT
: on the grounds that the colours went better with the shirt i had
: on. Now she didn't use the model names and she probably doesn't
: know a Carrera from a Carolla but the fact that she participated
: in my interest and helped me find the right watch for an
: occasion is a land mark moment. I felt very proud of her. Which
: leads me to my question to you all - Can anyone suggest a 70's
: automatic Heuer for a lady ? It is Christmas coming up and maybe
: i could find something that would appeal to her.
