Re: watch for my wife
In Response To: watch for my wife ()

: Ok, I bought myself a nice new seamaster bond,
: and plan to buy a speedmaster pro soon. So
: what do I buy my wife? I have given her
: Seiko's in the past to good effect. She has
: little knowledge about good watches, would
: probably not appreciate an automatic or a
: winder (why did you buy me an old inaccurate
: watch?) but there is a rub. Her father died
: recently and left her a nice 1960's Omega. I
: cleaned it up and it still runs great (a
: manual winder). So given her dad's watch and
: my Omega purchases she is interested in an
: Omega for herself.

: What do I buy her? Don't get me wrong, she is
: great and tolerates all my excessive
: hobbies! I would like to buy her a watch she
: would appreciate, not necessarily one that I
: would appreciate.

: Any suggestions welcome, we are talking
: Christmas here, under $1000 if possible!!!

: Thanks,

: Tim

Honestly, if I were to get one for my girlfriend it would probably be something from the Constellation line.
